Might this card be in the same category as other doctored cards not disclosing this fact ?-- (the card wasn't pulled from the pack as originally intended by the manufacturer)

Interesting question. I don't really know the answer, and this is a unique example. No other card would be considered altered because the player on it signed it. Did the cards vary at all from the factory if they were dual or single signed? Would collectors care if the signature was added later?

I just like that it's the only card with my 2 personal favorite players from different eras on the same card. While I would prefer one that was pack issued with both signatures I could certainly see myself buying one with Griffey added later. Especially if this fact was disclosed and it saved me a few hundred bucks.

I would spend up for the pack issued one. I don't think the market tends to value regular old signed cards not issued by the company and that's what this one would be, essentially.

I agree on this one. I think the market for vintage signed cards has really taken off the last few years though. Aside from the scandal with the t206s.

But I still wouldn't mind with this card for my collection. Especially if I got Griffey to sign it personally at a show or something.

great card, but always thought the drawings were hideous. Too bad as I've debated adding one for a while, but cant find one for a good price

Technically a (not issued as signed) signed card is altered, but it's really just in its own genre

Some game used collectors like and get their items signed, while others don't and some will go as far as to have authentic autographs removed.
