Thoughts on Pete Rose and Mike Tyson Autos?

handyman

What are yalls thoughts on these 2 guys autos? To me I see 2 guys who could use some money and are selling there autos left and right for cash now. They are also relatively young in my eyes. Both were the best in my eyes for what they did and have an exciting story in the era and sport they played. What do yall think the values of there autos will do in the next 20+ years?
Just thought Id throw this out there as I like both guys and I think they relate in a way.

Rose autographs can be had in private signings nowadays for $25 for cards. He'll sign go down as the most common auto ever. As for Tyson, he'll always need the money and always be on the circuit.

So do you think Tyson is on the same path at Rose then?

If you are looking at future value, there probably wont be much movement, even after they die. Too many autos on the market just like Bob Feller and Musial. However, i agree that both were awesome athletes with great stories and records. If you can look past the future value, they should both be part of any collection. I recently bought a bat autographed by Rose with inscription and psa/dna for less than $40. Most store model bats cost that much yet i couldn't be happier now that i own it, regardless of the futute value.

Right now, almost every Mike Tyson autographed card listed on eBay sells for over $100.....

HANGOVER totally re-shaped Tyson's image and if he continues staying in a positive light, his items should continue to increase. However, I think the value today is kinda suppressed due to the possibility of something else happening.

Americans love a comeback story but those who forget the past....

I think Tyson has better long-term potential unless you start seeing blasters with his autograph at every card show/store/Target or see see him sitting in front of a store in Vegas signing autos.

unique inscriptions on Pete Rose helps, the weirder the better id think. Also for Tyson a full name or something unique wont go down on the $200 some you pay.
