Looks like I know where someone is spending his $815 Billion.

If I had the initials B.O. I wouldn't be signing my name with them.

joestalin · January 28, 2009 1:43PM

Is that last symbol a bullseye?

stevek · January 28, 2009 1:57PM

Is Barack Obama the zodiac killer?

MeteoriteGuy · January 28, 2009 1:57PM

Yea more than I can afford.

Let the Govt buy it, they will soon have a large part of everyone else's collection. Let the great govt collection commence! Hold onto your wallets collectors times are a changing. Its time to give it up!

Salinas · January 28, 2009 2:20PM

Not even an educated guess, just a guess, but . . . $2140. I mean, already over $700 on the first day of listing.

stevek · January 28, 2009 2:45PM

<< Anybody have an idea what it should sell for? >>

Yes, about as much as a Jimmy Carter autograph.

nightcrawler · January 28, 2009 2:58PM

They sure loved Robinson in Montreal, I say the French are less passionate than they are bandwagon jumpers, but they are passionate. The girls sure are

I'm at a loss with Obama, he has hundreds of items for sale in the sports cards and memorabilia section??? Did the guy ever swing a bat in anger?

Ya I know he's a first.

What a great card.

If the economy were better, I'd say 5K easy. It's still possible that it might get that high, but I'd say something around 3. If the national press picks up on the card, then all bets are off (and it'll probably be bought by someone not willing to pay).

kmnorton · January 28, 2009 4:10PM

The Obama autos in '08 Series I or II went for something like $2-3K, so I would venture $3-4K?

StanTheManMusial · January 28, 2009 5:46PM

The Jackie Robinson cut sig is nice, the other side I would not give a plug nickel for.

luckyrollers · January 28, 2009 10:46PM

can anyone help upload the pic? Im at work now and they blocked off ebay....

Thanks~!

You don't sign your own initials as it is, KR.

larryallen73 · January 29, 2009 1:16AM

It seems the seller could do a better job presenting multiple photos of the card, no!?

I would love to have the card and I don't even like autographs.

CARPENTERROB · January 29, 2009 1:47AM

I do not think I would want my signature to read B O .

Yeah, I emailed him for a san of the outside of the book.

jeffcbay · January 29, 2009 4:14AM

I think it's an awesome piece.

To whom it may concern,

Due to circumstances beyond my control, The Topps Company has contact me and has requested that this auction be cancelled in order to remove the current Barack Obama autograph and replace it with a PSA certified Barack Obama autograph.

I wish to thank you for bidding on this auction and hope when I relist this card with the PSA Certificate you will bid again.

You can expect this card to be on E-Bay sometime Thursday, February 5, 2009.

Thank you for your understanding.

If you have any questions, please e-mail me a mikeandlisa@comcast.net

Sincerely,
Mike Hawkins

What is this about?

OAKESY25 · February 3, 2009 6:07AM

did topps discover that autograph was not authentic?? I am not following what happened

storm888 · February 3, 2009 6:11AM

TOPPS may have become convinced that there might be a "problem"
with the siggy. Or, maybe they just wanted to remove any doubt.

They really should make sure before they put the stuff out.

I dunno.

Salinas · February 3, 2009 6:17AM

I wonder what Topps has to do to get the seller to pull the listing. offer money? a few boxes of unopened material? his or her own baseball card?

rube26105 · February 3, 2009 6:22AM

i would take a couple of million dollars for emotional damage and stress if i was him

Allen · February 3, 2009 6:22AM

Maybe the seller I just offering that story so bidders are not mad that he sold it via email and pulled the listing.

jeffcbay · February 3, 2009 6:27AM

-OR- it could be the someone POSING as the Topps Company, and this guy is shipping it to them for FREE!! lol

That would be classic...

storm888 · February 3, 2009 6:40AM

<< I wonder what Topps has to do to get the seller to pull the listing. offer money? a few boxes of unopened material? his or her own baseball card? >>

////////////////

It prolly cost TOPPS nothing.

Maybe some "future consideration," most likely just "thanks."

TOPPS could destroy the value of the card, if the owner refused
to cooperate. All the owner would be entitled to is a "real" card, if
he litigated. TOPPS would deal with any negative publicity by
saying they were "acting out of an abundance of caution, and
in an effort to protect the integriity of the hobby they so love."

Both sigs looked fine to me. To the back of the class I must go.

Maybe the certified ones will bring a bit more money.

I was going to try to buy it, but I suspect my snipe would have
not made the cut. Now, we will never know.

It's a good crossover item that appeals to sports folks, history
folks, political folks, and folks involved in the civil rights issues.

It would have brought a good bit more than the last bid of $43C.

BassPro77 · February 3, 2009 7:20AM

i was thinking the same thing as Allen

It's certainly possible.

I know he got a high offer, but did not end the listing at that time.

The thing would have brought at least 30% more, if it had continued;
I suspect a good bit more than that.

If he does not relist it soon, we will know.

The previous listing was very poorly made and did not pump the
item to its full retail potential. That was the only reason I thought
about buying it.

WinPitcher · February 3, 2009 8:02AM

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

1. THIS AUCTION WILL NOT END EARLY
