Reese,

Are you going to grade all of your autographs to add to the set?

Regards,

Greg M.

Reese3333

Thats the plan, I would like to have at least 50% graded with the next group submission.


Reese

Reese3333

Check this one out. Picked it up as a Buy it now for $150!!! Hes tough to find on the 75 Fleer since he died in 76.

Reese,

My god - that's a great buy! I paid around $350 or $400 for mine.... Who was the seller? Don't you already have a 1974 Fleer Nevers?

50% graded....that should cost some bucks By the end of the month, I'm going to send in the 4 I have which are still raw (Conzelman, Luckman, Neale and Davis). I should be around 91% complete then....

Regards,

Greg M.

Reese3333

The seller was HOF_sports_ink. When I last talked to Jack, he said he sold the last one he had for $600. I do have a 74 as well, so I might end up selling one.

Right now I only have about 16% graded, so hopefully 50% is within my budget. I cant wait to see the scans up for the Luckman, Conzelman, Neale, and Davis. Those were all great pickups!

Frank,

Nice pick up on the Luckman. If I would have known you were going to bid I wouldnt have put in a bid. When I saw that sitting at 9.99 I had to put a snipe on it just to see what would happen. I am glad you came home with it.

Jay

Fabfrank

Thanks Jay. I was laughing to myself when I saw that you were the underbidder. The autograph is not as nice as I would like, but the other Luckmans I have were rejected. I also have one more Luckman that I want to send in on our next group sub. I haven't heard from Greg in a few days, but he did outbid me on a Bo Jackson auto so he's got to be around

jradke4

My thinking was if I could win it a good price I might be able to make something off it down the road. Yeah, I am sure Greg is around somewhere.

I'm actually in Lodon on business and forgot that I sniped the Bo Jackson auction. Another Heisman winner down!! I think that I now have every Heisman winner going back to the mid 50's except for Palmer, Leinart, Bush and Smith....

Greg M.

jradke4

Ah London. That explains why you might have missed the PSA/DNA Henry Jordan 61 card on Ebay!!

Reese3333

Jay,

Do you have an auction number for the Henry Jordan? I can't seem to find it.

Reese

jradke4

Reese,

Autction is over, with a best offer!! Check completed auctions. If you still cant find it I will send you the number.

Jay

Reese3333

Sorry Jay,

I cant seem to find it in the completed auctions. Would you mind sending me the item number?


Thanks
Reese

IMeddie

Jay,

Nice pick up!

Todd

Reese3333

Finally found it! Nice card Jay, it looks like its great condition.

jradke4

It sure does look to be in good shape. Hard to belive that it is. Hopefully the back is not bad. Either way a RC Jordan Auto! Autos are tough to find as it is let alone a 61 auto'd. I was nervous when I submitted the BO. I thought for sure someone else would hit the BIN. I emailed the seller the that evening to let him know that I was really interested in the card. I figure he would counter after hearing that. But he just took my offer. I am pleased as punch. Now I just need two more Packer autos for the HOF set, plus others of course. Curly and Arnie are going to be tough. Neither really has a card that probably would have been auto'd. My (and our) only hope is that there is some team signed cards out there or that we find some more cuts in new product.

Reese3333

I am glad you were able to find one. I picked up mine about 2 years ago for $400 from KHW. I used my college graduation money to pay for it. LOL. Jordan is a tough signature to find on a card, that was the first one I've seen in a very long time. Here is a pic of mine:




I've never seen a team signed card signed by Lambeau. I know that a cuts card has not been made for him. Arnie has a 2002 SP Legendary Cuts card numbered to #25. Good luck tracking them down. I think people are becoming more interested in HOF autos. This months Tuff Stuff has a great article about the top 20 HOF autographs and how they hold great investment potential. Lambeau was ranked 3rd, Herber was ranked #12.

Jay,

You dirty rotton SOB!! I look for Jordan every day (even over here...) and haven't seen one in over 2 years!! How much did you pay? Congrats on a great pickup!

Has anyone seen the Len Ford on E-Bay right now? The guy is asking $800 which is crazy... Ford normally sells in the $300 to $500 range. I've made him an offer buy haven't heard back.

Regards,

Greg M.

jradke4

He had a BIN of 925 and I offered 825. He took the offer!!

Reese3333

Is anyone else working on picking up possible future Hall of Famers?

If anyone has them, I am looking for:

Jonathan Ogden
Curtis Martin
Gary Zimmerman
Dermontti Dawson
Rod Woodson
Johnny Robinson
Dick Stanfel
Mac Speedie


Thanks
Reese

Reese,

I have doubles of Dawson and Stanfel for sure... not sure on the others...I'll have to check. Speedie is very tough. I've never seen one for sale.

Greg M.

Reese3333

Cool thanks Greg,

PM sent

jradke4

I got my Jordan today in the mail. Man is it sharp looking. I will scan Monday and post it. I hope if grades as good as it looks. Myabe I might be able to replace my 7 that I just picked up with a better one that is auto'd for may Jordan cards in my sets!!!

Reese3333

Frank,

Congrats on picking up the Len Ford. Its a very nice card and will look great in your collection. I really wanted that one! LOL

Reese

Fabfrank

Thanks Reese. Greg and I talked about the card this afternoon. I was initially hesitant to bid. I decided to go for it and it worked out. I was so pissed yesterday when I lost out on the J. Finks card in the heritage auction (long story, but the card closed for $200 less than what I would have bid. Plus Heritage went out of their way to make the bidding process as difficult as possible and I still couldn't bid, so I needed to win something to soothe my angry heart.

Reese3333

Well I am glad one of us got the Ford. It looks like all the bidding came from me and Greg. You will have to let us know how it looks. I emailed Albershiem and he said it was in ex-mt condition, wit no creases, but you can't see the corners in the pic.

I saw the Finks and I couldn't believe it! Someone got a really sweet deal on that one. I'll keep my eyes open for another one.

Reese

Fabfrank

I saw the Finks and I couldn't believe it! Someone got a really sweet deal on that one. I'll keep my eyes open for another one.

Well you were the first person to give me a "heads up" on that card. I thought i could just set a snipe through Ebay, no problem. Well, you couldn't really use Ebay to bid on the card. You had to register with Heritage (which I did). When I tried again to bid, it wouldn't let me. It said I had to register again. So I went to Heritage's website and tried to bid through there. It still wouldn't let me bid. It said the auction wasn't open yet (although there were already 2 bids on the card). So, I decided to call Heritage. I got a rep who first said there was no such item available??? WTF? I gave him the Ebay item #. He said, "We don't use those numbers". After a few minutes he finally found the auction. Once he confirmed I had registered, he tried to submit my max bid. It still wouldn't enter. It said I wasn't registered!! Are you kidding me!! I asked if there was anything else we could do to get my bid in. He said there wasn't Guess which auction house I won't use again?

Reese3333

Thats crazy! I guess I don't completely understand why they list items on ebay. Do the bids even count? The auctions I've seen always end early. Is it just a way to advertise? I am sorry to hear about your bad experience. I picked up a Dan Reeves letter from Heritage and didn't have any problems. It was the first time I've purchased anything from them and everything was great.

Reese

jradke4

I saw the finks and the bill george they had as well. i didnt try to bid but would have been willing to pay more than what they sold for. i dont know why they just wouldnt run a regular ebay auction. think about it this way. at least none of us had to pay that high 29% winners fee.

gregm13

Frank,

Congrats on winning the Ford. I had the BIN page pulled up for nearly 2 hours but I just couldn't pull the trigger. $1450 was WAY too much to pay for that card. To be honest $1000 is very high...but it's a tough card to find. You picked up a very nice addition to your collection....(you B*STARD!!!!!!).

I haven't seen much else lately on E-Bay... Reese said that the new Playoff National Treasurer checlist should be released soon. Hopefully there will be a few "new" in their 2007 product. I still love the Bert Bell autographs that were in the 2006 product. I can't imagine enough cuts of George Trafton or Link Lyman would be tough to find and include in the product. I really wish that one of the companies would release a comprehensive legendary cuts set. That would make our lives much easier!

Regards,

Greg M.

IMeddie

Way to go on winning the Len Ford!

Todd

Fabfrank

I really wish that one of the companies would release a comprehensive legendary cuts set. That would make our lives much easier!

I agree Greg. To me it seems obvious. It would be an instant hit product. They should really just do it with the Legends line. ah well, we can dream

jradke4

i would think that they will start release more. if you think about it there probably are plenty of autos of the guys we need that are hard for us to find. that age was the height of checks. many of the guys that we need were writing the checks for many of the teams, plus their own personal checks. plus what are the odds that a check has a fake auto on it to start with. i will be scanning my Jordan during lunch and posting it here. there will also be a scan of the PSA7 Jordan that I have already. i would love to hear everyones opinons on what type of grade you would think it could get.

Frank,

There is no reason that a comprehensive "Legendary Cuts" set can't be created by Upper Deck. The football version of the "Legends" and "Legednary Cuts" cards are some of the most popular cards on the secondary market. Dealers can't keep the 1997 Legends and 2002 Legendary Cuts in stock. What I don't like is that the 2002 Legendary Cuts set focused on too many HOFers that are easy to find...such as Bronko Nagurski, Red Grange, Bill George, ect... rather than the likes of Link Lyman (there were a few, but not many), George Trafton, Joe Carr, Curly Lambeau, ect...

I don't know why Upper Deck only issued the one Legendary Cuts product for football but released an annual set for baseball. Strange.

Greg M.

Jay,

I'm looking forward to seeing the scan.

Greg M.

jradke4

here they are. i think it would come back a 7. thoughts?

gregm13

Jay,

To be honest, the auto'd Jordan is better than my 8!! Nice card!

Greg M.

jradke4

so greg do you think this has a shot at an 8!!!

gregm13

<< <i>so greg do you think this has a shot at an 8!!! >>



Jay,

Absolutely - it's a gorgeous card...congrats again!

Greg M.

Reese3333

Jay,

That Jordan is in great shape! Does the area that has been rubbed with a coin on the back affect the grade?

Reese

gregm13

Let me know if anyone can help. I'm looking for these raw 60's / 70's Miami Dolphins cards to send TTM requests. I prefer EX/MT or better condition - these cards are NOT for grading...

I'd like 2 cards of each player:

Norm Evans
Wayne Moore
Marv Fleming
Howard Twilley
Bob Heinz
Mike Kolen
Doug Swift
Curtis Johnson
Lloyd Mumphord
Dick Anderson
Jim Riley
Tim Foley
Earl Morrall

Regards,

Greg M.

tennesseebanker

Wow !

I wasnt aware this registry set even existed.
I see where a few more auto sets are in the works.

I have just started the autographs on cards thing myself, I am doing TTM's and buying some slabbed ones when I can. I like auto's on old cards, Preferably Topps, Bowman or Philadelphia. im not really going for graded ones just the authentic ones will do for me. I bought a nice Walter Payton auto on a 81 Topps tonight.
Good Luck with the set guys, I may join you when I get a few more under my belt.Here's the Payton I bought tonight .......

Reese3333

Very sweet Payton! Congrats that is a great looking card

Reese

gregm13

That is a gorgeous Payton - congrats!

Greg M.

tennesseebanker

Thanks Guys, So if I want to enter all my "authentic" autos they will be assigned an automatic 3, Right ?

gregm13

Actually, they're given a rating of 1. If you want, you can send the card in to be graded - it will only cost the grading fee (e.g. $5 per card).

Regards,

Greg M.

Fabfrank

Updated my set the other night with scans. All cards are graded "Authentic" Added John Henry Johnson, Luckman, McAfee, Olsen, Stautner, Stydahar, Bulldog Turner and D. Walker

You can check out the scans through this link Fabfranks HOF Auto set

Reese3333

Nice additions Frank! Really like the Stydahar
