Ricky Wright signed 1987 topps-stolen scan?

[callou2131]

Actually if you check out his items for trade I am pretty sure it is the same guy.

Wright, Ricky BB Card In Person 1987 Topps. Relative claims it was acquired IP in 1987, currently at PSA/DNA.

Maybe I missed it at some point, but does anyone know why Wright won't sign his 87 Topps card?

And sorry if I missed this also, but can somebody tell me why anybody would want a signed card by Ricky Wright in the first place (signed or not)? I mean...did some real person actually pay over $800 for this?!?!

wright only signed a handful, people need it to complete the set (87 topps set popular). probably not a 5k card but 2k easy. of course i wouldn't trust psa to authenticate a 5k sig, for that money i better see wright sign it himself. lots of debate whether the current card is legit or not.

I saw a post on here back in January about that (Wright not signing this card), but still....even if a collector/dealer was obsessed enough to pay that much to complete a signed set, I still think that's crazy. Even if you were to later sell the set, you would need to bump up the price by $4K-$5K to make any kind of gain and that's just insane.

What is his problem with the card? Doesn't look like a bad likeness or anything. Is it JUST the '87 he's pissy about or signing in general? Sounds like Clancy Smyres.
