ebay -Nolan Ryan Cut sticker auto



Cut? What did they cut? He signed a sticker....ridiculous.

Those are so ugly. These companies should actually have a collector consult on their releases.

what it is cut from?? another autographed card?

I thought the whole point of "cut" autographs is that they were cut from a letter, document, 3X5 card, etc...

That is a very unattractive card...

I hate sticker autos

and now a cut sticker - nasty!

Agreed that does not look like a cut auto. Why do these card companies insist on putting autos in a box that cuts off part of the autograph??

As Vince Lombardi would say "What the hell is going on out there?????"

This has offically replaced the "cut" Willie Stargell autos that came from the Nabisco cards from the early 90's. Pretty soon we are going to get a cut auto cut from another cut auto card. Jim Gaffigan should do a routine about this.

I have an issue with the price??? Is it being driven from the 1/1 on the card (first of all thank god only one of these was produced, I agree it is freaking ugly). A couple of years ago a local radio station had an event with Nolan Ryan signing autographs. I waited in line for several hours and got an official MLB baseball signed on the sweet spot. From reading the comments in this thread I gather most of you would rather have that. There is no way I could sell that ball for more $50 on ebay.

I'll take another example (another Ranger since that is what I am familiar with); Josh Hamilton signs a ton before the game, after the game, etc. I have gotten him 10 or so times, but if you can get some card company auto'd card that is in blue or red or numbered out of 8 it sells for some ridiculous price on the bay. Is it just me or does that seem out of wack??? Basically they are manufacturing scaricty.

I agree 100%. People love serial numbers. Another great example is you'll have different verisions of the same player's auto in the same set. One is numbered to 499, the other is numbered to 25. Obviously the one numbered to 25 will greatly outsell the other even though it's the same player, same auto. It's just a collectible thing. Pretty stupid if you ask me.

If he paid me $300 I'd take it off his hands.
