This one is spiralling out of control with plenty of time left:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... K:MEWAX:IT

The other inscription card was on ebay a couple weeks ago, and the dumb-dumb seller ended it the morning he listed it. I cringe to think he sold it offline for a rumored $3000.

Lesson #1: NEVER, NEVER end a rare card early. NEVER.

I thought I was already pretty insane, but these bidders are taking it to a new level. Gosh it's going to be fun to see what this one ends at.

If Blowoutcards is paying $10,000 for that card, it should at least bring $15,000 in an auction...

WAY too much,not that great looking well not compared to his early ud autos.

Could that inscription possibly be faked??? Or has it been proven authentic?

Shep :ugeek:

Blowout was paying $10,000 for a bgs 9.5 copy of the 2008 Goudey Tiger autograph, of which only 5 copies exist.

This one won't even grade an 8.5, It'll get an 8 if it's lucky. There's a bunch of white printer specs on his pants, and the centering won't get higher than an 8 as well.

I guess theoretically it could, but Upper Deck has well publicized images of the two inscription cards on the internet. This one's legit.

And there aren't many copies of the non-inscription autos lying around, either.

Are you sure those are printer specs?? :shock: :shock:

Sorry I've had a few...

I sold the regular one for $5,000 when Goudey first came out.

The writing of the inscription looks exactly like Tigers handwriting, that was the first thing i looked at. I say its 100% real.

Why is a $15000 card not in some type of protection at all times? I mean if you have it in a new one-touch, the photo will still turn out nice and there is much less risk involved in handling... I just don't understand???

I have to wonder if that auction is legit. New seller & all.

To put things in perspective, I just sold the Michael Jordan from the set, on the eve of his HOF induction, for 650

If you look at other Tiger sales, this one is not that crazy. I don't Jordan sells anywhere near what Tiger sells for.
His Exquisite jersey auto sold for like $25k.

Far fewer Tigers on the market than MJ.

This. And by a wide margin too.

A_Pharis · Sep 15, 2009

I was only saying, because Warren used his Jordan sale as a reference point for this auction. You can't compare the two.

Bingo, as long as Tiger only signs a few per year it will stay way. Couple that with the fact he is one of the bigger sports stars on the planet right now equals big bucks
