Did anyone bid in the most recent Heritage auction?

If so could you tell me the hammer price for this 1979 Topps Thurman Munson autograph? For some reason Heritage does not reveal final prices unless you have an account and sign in. Thanks.

I know Munson's a tough sig, but 1900 buck for a laminated card? Yikes!

I'm not an autograph collector, so I'm sure there's a lot I don't know about it. But I've never understood the obsession people have over autographs of deceased celebrities just before they died. Why does it make that much of a difference when the autograph was signed?

just not that many Munson 79' signed cards out there...like getting a Lyman Bostock 78' signed card.

Because it's usually the scarcest item autographed by the given player. A card may have come out only weeks/months before the player's death, alas, it was not as widely held compared to the player's cards from past years. Case in point Steve Olin. 1993 Topps had only been out, what, a month or so at the time of his death on March 22nd?


BTW, thanks mikeschmidt for the info.
