Now you really upset me .
I can only go by what I buy and sell. I have never even seen this stuff until this thread. I have never been asked by anyone on my mailing list about these "things." The 1/1 list on their website does not seem to be big enough for anyone to have made a lot of money doing this, assuming that many of those 1/1 were done by different people. Has anyone seen this stuff on ebay or elsewhere? Has anyone actually seen them sold? Not offered for ridiculous prices, actually sold. Bilko - have you seen these specific items sold? Are you certain that people have made a "ton" of money selling these Leaf autographs? Where were they sold for a "ton" of money?

Hahahaha, sorry Richard I shouldn't have said "a lot of people", more like some people. You may be surprised, but there is a market for these cards. You and i may not think they are the greatest but there have been many impressive sales in the past. I was watching many of these last year and can't remember them all, but some of the higher priced sales were Ichiro (like mentioned), Charles Barkely, Obama, Michael Jackson, Ted Williams etc. Heres a Babe Ruth up for auction right now. What would this cut sell for just normally?? $1500-$2000?? Biddings at $3800 with 3+ days to go still. http://www.ebay.com/itm/2012-LEAF-EX...item3375745cd6 |

This "thing" sold for $3100 in February. Naturally with the passage of such an extraordinary amount of time it is worth much more money now. But remember the Tulip Mania came crashing down and people went broke.

I am ill enough from seeing that Babe Ruth . So let me understand this, if I had a G.H. Ruth cut, they would not put it in a plastic tomb for me because there is one already?? I am sorry but ARE PEOPLE FREAKIN' INSANE??????????? Take a $100 autograph, send it to Leaf with $40 and then sell it for multi-hundreds????? Take a $1000 autograph, send it to Leaf with $40 and then sell it for multi-thousands????? This is really happening??? P.T. Barnum is now my official hero. The heck with Clarence Darrow, Edward R. Murrow, the Kennedy's, Jefferson, Lincoln, Mark Twain and so on. All in my collection. I have to now get P.T. Barnum. There truly is a sucker born every minute and that famed saying of his makes everything ever said by Mark Twain pale in comparison. I can actually sort of understand the idiocy behind the card company produced chase cards,, though I think that is nutso too. BUT THIS is beyond the realm of anything I have seen before. I don't know what else to say now. But I am sure I can and will say some more later on. This is just too stupid.

Try this one... http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=....c0.m270.l1313 If link doesn't work just search "Leaf Executive Cuts" To answer your question Richard, Yes. I believe this is the second year they have done this now. So yes, once a 1/1 is created for that particular player you can not make another one until the following year, thats if they make another series next year. The Ruth is insane, i agree. I can't remember the exact end price on the Ichiro, but it was somewhere around $2000. There is money to be made off these though. |

And that plastic tomb is FREAKIN' UGLY.
Not to mention that Leaf's markup on one stinky piece of plastic and one gold sticker is probably 5000%.

That link worked, thanks.
There are 123 of these idiot things on ebay now. I cringe when I look at it. And it appears there is a Beckett imprint on the plastic tomb. What does Beckett have to do with this crap? And I love the Leaf disclaimer at the bottom of the plastic tomb. These autographs have been authenticated by JSA or PSA but not Leaf. So as "confident" as they are in this crap they still want to be sure to place all the blame on PSA and JSA if there is a bad autograph.

idiotic ,,, this half a Greenberg sold for twice what a whole card should sell for. AND I am seeing cards listed for $50,$60 and $70 on ebay. With $40 charge from Leaf, $x charge from a TPA and ebay fees, who is kidding who here. Though I will concede that the vast majority of these cards are priced much higher than that.

On the other hand, maybe some of these sellers have come to their senses and are looking to get those monstrosities out of their collections asap |

As im sure you know, Beckett and JSA have been working together for a few years now. If you have in-person autographs on sports cards you can get JSA to authenticate them and then BGS will encapsulate them. Same sort of idea here. Beckett did the encapsulating of these Leaf executive cuts. If the item was already authenticated by either JSA or PSA, then Leaf made the card and Beckett incased it. If the autograph that was sent in was NOT authenticated yet, then JSA would first authenticate, then Leaf would make the card and BGS encapsulate. Beckett and Leaf are also both located in Dallas as well, so im sure it was easy and convenient for them to get together on this project. The Babe Ruth is now over $4000. Im sure large submitters and/or friends of LEAF got deals on some of the submission charges. Last edited by Bilko G; 05-05-2012 at 04:03 AM. |
