Elite inscription vale?

Bob Loblaw · Apr 1, 2013

A little detective work should show you the details, but they're not important.

Let's say I've got an Elite auto RC that typically goes for $15-20.

It's the last card serially printed (for example, if 880 made, it's 880/880). The auto has a bible inscription -- no others that I've seen do.

What extra premium value should this card have?

0? 50? 100%?

Of course, I know, whatever someone will pay - but I'm curious as to what you'd pay for a premium as well as what premium cards like this have sold for.

problem is that many people dont bid on them because it could have been added by someone shady...

personally, i've stayed away for that fact alone...

For the auto set I'm working on, inscription autos I've been able to land have been at least 50% more than non-inscription autos. I've also paid $30 for a $2 auto to get the rarer inscription.

Interesting. I've got a $40 offer on a card that sells for $20. My BIN is $60 (and I put it up when the card was an $8 card, not $20)... Wondering if I should take it. I have no religious like for the card... but I do like the fact that it's the last one made.

Hadn't thought about the shadiness factor, Tim, but you are right...

I've overpaid on some cards for the Serial Numbering (001/100 or 100/100 and so on or Jersey Numbers) but not for inscriptions (YET).

FWIW, I think BGS dings the auto grade if the inscription isn't up to *****.

I have a Kyle Gibson EEE BGS 9.5, but 9 on the auto; the ONLY thing that could be holding it back is the damn Bible verse number he put on it (which I think he did on a lot or all of them).

I have about 35-40 of these cards, so grading isn't a priority right now ... but the inscription actually looks "nice". I don't do the bible thing, so I have no idea what it means. I guess I could have asked him at spring training . . .

I would if it was me. But it's your card and you have to make the choice
