Jeff PrillamanWe had a nice collection of auto cards from 1955-1959 two summers ago and ran them individually on ebay with very nice results. The tougher autos brought in the $50-100 range, and the couple of really tough ones were even higher. That's where a 20,000+ feedback rating helps. But of course there were plenty that just brought the opening bid of 4.95 and what didn't get bids we lotted up and sold as a group.
What stinks is that in the group about 3/4 of the 57's had started to fade at one point and so the collector who was a kid at the time decided to darken the signatures by going over them in pen. Clemente, Gil Hodges, the Mantle/Berra card and several other HOF'ers were in that group of re-penned autos.
