It’s true there is only one “ dore Williams “ cut auto in existence, I hope! 1/1

This whole 1/1 sham is such a farce. I have to believe that only the lowest IQ and most gullible of collectors fall for it. Manufactured rarity is such an obvious and pathetic marketing ploy that caters to the lowest common denominator of '"collectors".

If a modern day example of "The Emperor's Clothes" exists, then this is it. I wonder if these same people pay 10 times market price for cars that are missing the seats or houses that are missing the bathrooms.

Well, the card manufacturers tried it out the other way and look where we ended up. Forty year old sets of cards that are worth less now then when they were issued. Junk wax.

BTW, I agree with you about manufactured rarity of these modern cards. Craziness. And it will fall down like a house of cards.

I did a blog post on a Frank Robinson 1/1 auto that sold for quite a bit (don't recall how much now, but $100-200+ I think) vs just buying his same certified signature on a Nabisco card for under $10.

I have added low print run cards, trying not to pay too much of a premium. It all depends on what it is and how much.
