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.

I don't think anyone collects these things the same way the members of this board collect autographs. They accumulate them hoping that the greater fool theory is still alive and well when they decide the time has come to sell. As we all know the members of this board collect autographs for an entirely different reason.

people see 1 of 1 and they get crazy, a false scarcity, and i have had a heck of a time convincing people that these cuts exist outside of these cards too and don't cost but 1/10 of what they are offering them for.
they say in return "yeah, but those cuts arent in a 1 of 1 card like this, it's topps, it's upper deck." I say back to them "so what?" |

I can find a photo of Mickey Mantle in 1952 and write a nice bio and some stats on the back. But for some reason, people pay crazy amounts for the same thing made by Topps. Mine is scarcer, too!

The shortages at first were created by the card companies complete with forgeries and badly cut autographs, now you can create your own ridiculous artificial shortage with any cut autograph and a technicolor plastic tomb. "Wow, it is 1/1 with a technicolor plastic tomb",,, "wow, I just got to have that plastic tomb with the 1/1 Bob Feller, it will always be worth more than I paid." Someone putting a plastic technicolor tomb around an autograph, IMHO, is not creating a baseball card. That someone has fallen for the Leaf hype and is a gambler, not a serious collector of autographs or cards.

it's stupid. its not a leaf autograph, or a roste autograph, its an autograph of mickey mantle. its the pricing that is crazy and the way they mangle the autographs. the will cut an autograph from a photo or check, and put it in a holder, then charge more than what the signed photo or check was worth. way more too. if the lyons was 300 dollars, would you buy it? 5 dollar autographs like the cut max schmeling routinely get listed for 300. ridiculous and insulting. if someone likes collecting, small portable autographs, they can collect index cards or cut autograph on paper. why pay 2500 dollars or more for a rocky marciano upper deck 1 of 1, when a cut or index card of marciano can be had for 400 dollars?

![]() 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. |
