In 1998 Elite had a beautiful insert set called Back to the Future, the first 100 of 1500 being auto'd. Another gorgeous modern set.

I happened to pull a card like this one back in the day and still have the card.

I love that card and have wanted one since I first saw it. In fact, I was in pretty serious negotiations with him before finally deciding that I couldn't buy it. They have sold for anywhere from $700 to close to $1,000 in the auctions I've tracked.

<< <i>Yeah, it's a gorgeous set. I have several of the non-auto'd Thomas versions. Definitely a beautiful set.

<< <i>I would offer him $600.00 and go from there >>
He dropped his BIN as low at $715 on the last listing. He may go lower, but I doubt it.

Someone remember? What was the story behind it?

<< <i>Would you be grading it if you hit it? Both cards would be 8's. >>
Most definitely I would get them in a PSA holder ASAP. Just deciding which one I like more.

The Arod single auto card may even be a 7. The back upper right corner / edge looks like it has a fold. A fold is always a 7

Not trying to talk you out of it, just leading you down my thought process on the card. Do you want the card or the autographs? If you're looking for some dual signed stuff you can get it for less at Ironclad Authentics. Again, not trying to talk you out of it, just thought it was worth asking.

<< <i>Gonblot...if I remember correctly, they had to produce those single auto ARods because Cal wasn't able to autograph all of the original 150 they had planned for him to sign? Something like that...there is a story behind it.
Someone remember? What was the story behind it? >>
Never heard that one. Doesn't Cal also have a single signed from the same set?

edited to add: I could have my stories way crossed. I'm remembering this from the mind of a 13 year old, a decade ago.

Kind of a little bit of both. The Dual auto part is awesome and I am collect anything with A-ROD. Not to sure if I can afford the asking price, I'll put a best offer tonight and see.

I had one of the Puckett/Jones cards once and really wish I had it back. Also note that there are non-auto versions of all of the above
<< <i>Wow...I was remembering that set incorrectly, to the extreme. So every player had a single auto card. Maybe the dual auto Ripken/ARod is just a shorter print run. I swear I can remember something out of the norm about it. >>
It was always my understanding that the cards were all serial numbered to 1,500 but only the first 150 were signed.

Maybe, but that was pretty quality.

Lets see what the seller says.

Considering the three dual autographed cards that were posted last night, we can know that Cal and ARod have signed a minimum of 250 dual autographed cards. Does anyone have any idea as to how many cards both of them have signed on card?

Pretty sure the sale price was less than what I offered for the card.

If it was in an 8 holder i probably would have given him the 715
<< <i>The only reason I didnt bid higher was because this guy sells lots of graded stuff. >>
Totally agree. I asked him the same question and can't recall the answer. I may have to look up the reason that he gave me.

He grades rookies because he doesn't see any benefit in grading non-rookie cards due to the fact that a bad grade hurts the value when they don't get the grade you think they should get.

There's another auction I'm currently wathing for a card I'd love to have so I sent a message with a very fair offer. Unfortunately for me, the seller never got back with me. However, if the Colts lose tomorrow I'd wager that I'll immediately get a message asking if I'll buy it at the price I offered.
