Fair price on this Superfractor Auto?

flightposite · Dec 10, 2012

I used to own this card and would like to try and get it back (just that it's a Twins card and that I used to own it), but have no idea what would be a decent price on it. I know Garza is way cheaper than when I used to own it. Any help would be appreciated.

Nice card. I've thought about player collecting him. He was on my hometown team and now my favorite team. He's a solid pitcher and his cards sell for next to nothing. I have no idea on price though. I find it funny that there will be saying future Dodger like it used to say future Yankee

I owned this card too. I think I picked it up for $500.00 off flightposite. I later sold it for $850.00. This was all before it was graded a 9.5.

I don't think the gem grade should help this card one way or the other. It's the only one out there. If I had to guess I would throw 550-600$ at it

I don't believe the person selling it is the person that I sold it to.

That card is the Paris Hilton of FCB. I know it used to live in Midland, but not with me.

Its a real eye-opener to see how inexpensive a card like this of a decent, popular player goes for... or rather it should be. $800 shouldn't be that much.

Yea, the guy I sold it to lived in Texas. He bought the Matzek super auto as well, I believe.

Agreed. A card like this and being a good pitcher should sell for much more. To be honest, I am shocked the BIN wasn't hit.

Honestly Garza isn't that popular in Chicago due to injury and uncertainty about being traded. I think around $500-600 is fair.

Currently, $600. And that is because it is a 9.5

If it was raw, I dont think it would get $500 in an auction

It's been listed for a long, long time.

I would think it is worth about $750, if it was mine, that is the minimum I would take for it. Good luck on your efforts.

I'd toss $500 at it if you believe Garza is going to rebound. I personally wouldn't go much higher. The chance of Garza being an ace is pretty much out the window. The 9.5 is all well and good, but on a 1/1, the grade doesn't create any additional scarcity.

I only want it being the first Twins superfractor auto, don't care much for Garza either way... couldn't even tell you what team he is playing for.

I guess Chicago... just saw it in the thread.

Garza also has one in 2005 TC; I'd actually pay more for that one if it ever comes up.

Perkins also has one in 2005 Finest

I owned it for a while also. Sold it for close to or above a grand, if I remember correctly. Last I saw it was at a show in SF last year, the seller was from socal. I owned the 2005 topps chrome super auto as well. Graded it and it was 9.5 10. Sold it to a collector in minn.

I used to own the TC Super as well, before it was graded... This one is much better looking.
