Are you more likely to stay away from autos in general????
unless you have the provenance of photos of the piece being signed ect ect
because TPG's obviously just sell "opinions"
and we know about opinions  everyone has one |
This sad development hasn’t negatively impacted high-end signed cards whatsoever. During the extensive Net54 T206 thread, SCP realized the 2nd highest price for a 52 Topps Signed Mantle ($83K) and recorded an extremely strong $41K sake for a signed 51 Mantle Bowman rookie. They also set Various records for a few other Mantle autographed cards. Not to be outdone, a 1928 Lou Gehrig Signed exhibit realized a staggering $77K record sale in Memory Lane. The highest amount ever paid for a signed Lou Gehrig card. REA had just set a record for a signed Babe Ruth Goudey that fetched $132K! Bottom line here is that high-end signed cards are stronger than ever, and a bad incident is not going to dismantle the premium signed baseball card market
