Hey guys. Got this signed in person 10 or so years ago at spring training. I’ve submitted 10’s of thousands of cards to PSA, but never one at the auto grade level. Should I submit this for authentication or from both the auto and card grade? The card is self is 10 worthy, 9 at worst. Also, couldn’t find comps to make sure It makes fiscal sense to submit. Any idea on value? Thx

    Great card. Totally up to you on how to grade it, but it looks nice enough to me to grade both the card and the auto. No clue on value, but a 10 in that card has been going for over 1K, so an auto'd one would certainly demand more than that. Sorry, can't be more specific on value.

    I cannot hit curveball. Straightball I hit it very much. Curveball, bats are afraid.

    Looks like a 10 worthy sig to me, can't imagine it would get less than 9..... if real ;)
    Of course right now to get that card graded would be $300....

    Another thought is to take advantage of the Encapsulation Special https://www.psacard.com/specials

    $15 for the auto authentication, and then add auto grading for $10, so it would be $25 plus return shipping and a couple months to get it back. You could then think of doing a submission to get the card graded down the line if the pricing returns to normal.

    Thanks Rufuss. Might be an option. Where’d you get the $300 figure. Estimation once the new grading prices hit?

    The cheapest level of grading RIGHT NOW is $300 for Super Express. Starting in July, it could be cheaper, but maybe only down to $150, which if you don't get a 9 or 10 grade on the card (not counting the auto), means that you are paying over 50% of value to grade the card.

    Gotcha. Thanks. What craziness

    Finally came back with double 9’s. Still no comps. Whatsoever. Gonna throw it up on eBay. Any idea of value. No idea how to gauge. Was thinking ballpark $700. Thoughts please. Thanks

    Unsigned PSA 9's are selling for as low as $225 on eBay. A signed version will add value, but not $475 to it. My guess would be to sell it in the $400 to $500 range.

    Card collecting is remembering the good old days.
