Pretty sweet autographed card on ebay Aaron, Banks, Mays, Cepeda, Frank Robinson all on one

1963 Card signed by Frank Robinson, Hank Aaron, Ernie Banks, Willie Mays and Orlando Cepeda

Not mine, and as a matter of fact, I'm still considering bidding higher, but thought if someone wanted it real bad, that I'd post the link. I bid $199.00 but was outbid so I'm probably out. Would be a neat card to own and I hope someone on the board gets it if I don't.

    I'm kind of surprised the guy wants to sell it. Even if I sold autos I don't think I'd let something like that go.

    I'm wondering how high it might go and trying to decide whether to spend next months card purchasing money on it (and take a short break from signed rookies), or whether to continue my pursuit of signed rookies and let this one go. For some reason, I really, really, like that card even though its not in my defined realm (signed rookies) for my collection.

    That's kinda why I posted it, hoping others will drive up the price and get it out of my range so I don't get it myself image

  • Is it worth $200+ and if so think it will appreciate?

    << <i>Is it worth $200+ and if so think it will appreciate? >>



    If it had been a good sales month for me, I'd probably go up to $300.00 or so for it (it might go for much more, I don't know, but it's probably worth about $300.00 to me for my collection), as the cost to duplicate it is high. But it hasn't been a good sales month, so I'll probably let it go. I think it has long term potential to appreciate as eventually those guys will die.

    The only two easy, inexpensive ones to get on that now are Frank Robinson and Orlando Cepeda as they both make the show circuit rounds and are relatively affordable under $100.00 each. Aaron rarely does signings now and the last one was about $200.00 to sign, Mays is doing a signing in a month for $279.00 or so but doesn't do much other than that. Banks was easy until the beginning of this year when he stopped signing for charitable donations. He doesn't do shows to much it seems now.

    I just tried $225.00 but got immediately outbid. I need to go away from the computer before I spend a lot image I need more willpower, ha, ha, never been very good with that.

  • Thanks Mike, so if I were going to bid you wouldn't recommend going higher than $300? I don't mind dropping more than that on a card but I'd like to know how "worth it" the investment is...listen to me talking about cards like investments image

    << <i>Willie Mays was his always fan-friendly nice guy that he is "LOL" for anyone that ever met him >>

    Too bad the Frank sig is smudged.

    I like his remark about Mays - always a crowd pleaser!

    Thanx for sharing Mike - still a nice card.

    Wow, that card is unreal. Nothing against the pictures, but it would be going for more if slabbed IMHO.

    Don't let me dissuade you from going higher than $300.00. That's just what I would bid if it had been a good sales month, I don't know if that will be enough to get it or not. It may go for a lot more or a lot less. If you've seen my rookie thread, you can tell I like autographed cards, but I haven't been doing signed baseball cards long enough to know the market value or their rarity or commoness yet. I can tell you a lot about Presidential, but not a whole lot about signed cards!!!

    It's gotta be legit. The guy is a Phillies fan. I hope someone here wins it, I'm watching.

    Darn, talked myself to go up to $250.01 and still not enough!

    Go get it guys, I'm going to use my head and concentrate on my signed rookie collection and walk away. (I'm going to be really disgusted if it goes for $255.01 and I might have been a bid or two away!)

    $360.00. Was it any of y'all? If so I might make you an offer to buy it a couple months down the road.

    I have other stuff to pay for right now so I was out but I'm pretty confident that the buyer won't have trouble getting $360 out of that card in the future.
  • I agree that card is worth every penny of the $360 the buyer paid (assuming it's legit of course). Disappointed I didn't see this thread until now.
    The fact that the card looks pretty mint is another real bonus.

    Thanks for sharing (even if I was a little late to the party).

    I don't think there is a better league leader card to get signed by all the players on it. The Koufax/Gibson/Marichal/Perry from the '67 set comes close, but I think this one is the best.

  • Yep.

    This is the only card on which five HOFers appear together.
  • 360 seems like a bargain to me. wish i had seen this thread earlier too!
  • Thats awesome, I actually have that card with all the auto's minus the Frank Robinson Auto, nice to see I'm not the only person with one,

  • Wish I had seen it before it closed also. Love the Mays remark LOL....
