Sale value for Mays UD APOH Jsy / Bat Auto?

Buynhisellnlow · May 11, 2010

Does anyone know what the Willie Mays Upper Deck A Piece of History Jersey / Bat Auto has sold for in the past?

Here's an example of the card I am referring to

http://cgi.ebay.com/WILLIE-MAYS-2000-UD ... 500wt_1138

I'm seriously trying to pick one up to add to my Mays PC but I like to know what they have sold for in the past to base my buy position on.

Thanks in advance for any help,
Jason

Seems like I'm not the only one that hasn't seen many of these sell

Very rare card from a very popular set. Dont see many of these pop up. I wouldnt give over $2000.

NYCrulesU · May 11, 2010

I paid $2400 for mine. Now? $1800-$2000 would be my cap.

Mind sharing a scan of yours?

If only it were that easy. Nearly all of my high end cards from my past collecting days are put away. My Ty Cobb cuts, Mays 3000 hit club bat/jersey/auto /24, my Musial 3000 hit club bat/jersey/auto /6, my 98 Bow. Chrome Gold. Ann. Ref. Griffey /5, my entire Jeter auto collection and so on. I haven't looked at them in nearly 6 years, since 04 when I stopped collecting.

If I ever bust them out, I'll be sure to take pics of a few. They are beautiful cards.

Do you think it would only go for that much? i only ask because these sets are sooooo popular, and you rarely see any offered for sale....I would think that back when you paid $2400.00, that was considered a pretty decent price for it, but now, $1800-$2000 would be a steal? Just my opinion. I tried to acquire the Mays APOH 500 HR Auto /24 & Killebrew APOH 500 HR Auto/3 from the same seller, but it was just too much. You rarely rarely see these beauties anywhere, and people just keep it in their collection for good. I sold most of my 500 HR autos a year or two ago, and only have one left, but i never see any pop up anymore. I think only in beckett listed that a griffey APOH sold for something over $2k recently if i'm not mistaken? Anyways, i would also love to see scans of your cards NYCrulesU if you ever do decide to show them. I can't get over how awesome these sets are.

NYC, so what you're saying is you're lying and you don't own any of those cards.

Thermo,

I do agree about them staying in collections. I won't say that I will never sell mine, but as you've read they haven't seen the light of day for 6+ years. I try to take the economy into consideration as well. $2400 was expensive when I paid it, not a decent price or even a good deal. Now with the economy and so much emphasis placed on prospects, I would think that $1800-$2000 would be a decent price to pay for it. Hard to compare this set to the 500 bat autos. The 500 hr set is far more popular and widely collected.

But overall I agree with you on the rarity of these sets.

No, clearly it's what you're assuming. As I said, when and if I dig them out and get around to taking pics I will gladly show them to those that have asked.

thermo8 · May 11, 2010

NYCrulesU, i see what you are saying. i guess to me, the way i look at it, i would definitely pay more, or value a HOF'er autographed card, from rare sets, rather than paying that kind of money on a superfractor chrome rookie, when there are other versions of the same rookies, and widely traded/ sold back and forth, whereas, only you, and 23 other lucky collectors own a Willie May APOH jersey/ bat/ auto card, with no other variations, and an established HOF'er that's done something, rather than a prospect (ie sean burroughs, matt bush) that somebody like me has TONS of autos of.

Mr.Whipple · May 11, 2010

I paid 2500 for mine a few years back. Would pay that again, If I were to pick up another.

Oh I agree 100%. My only arguement is on the perceived value of the card. Where do we draw the line on the asking prices? I certainly would never pay the asking price of $5,000 for the Mays, even though many aren't seen anymore. I guess I still see $2400 being the absolute max. value for that particular card. My personal opinion is that $2000 would be a good, or fair, price to pay. $800 on the Aaron /44 and $2000 on the Mays /24. That's just my take.

Do you guys know who were all the auto's from the 3000 hit set? I only really followed the 500 HR set, in which, i'm not quite sure if there was ever a mantle, or ruth cut, but pretty much all the players had auto'd versions, except for the newer guys.

Some were cuts, some were bat/jersey/auto, some were bat/cap/auto and some were just bat/auto. All numbered to their uniform except for Yount/Brett, if I'm not mistaken. Carew was never made as he never shipped his cards back to UD.

Mays /bat/jersey/auto /24
Aaron bat/jersey/auto /44
Brock bat/jersey/auto /20
Brett/Yount dual /10
Yastrzemski bat/jersey/auto /8
Ripken bat/jersey/auto /8
Musial bat/jersey/auto /6
Kaline bat/auto /9 (Should have been 6, but was incorrectly numbered)
2 Cobb cuts
2 Clemente cuts
Murray bat/jersey/auto /33
Boggs bat/cap /12
Gwynn bat/cap /19
Winfield bat/jersey/auto /31

Complete list as far as my memory serves me.

There was a Ruth cut /3 for the non-500 Club Ruth card. Not sure on Mantle.

I don't think there's any way an Aaron goes for that cheap. The last APOH Aaron auto (the only one I've tracked) went for $2000 BO, and while this set is not quite as popular. Even the Winfield got $250 without being listed well recently.

To the OP, I don't think $2000 is unreasonable for the card, though I don't really have a ton of hard info to work with.

An Aaron did go for that cheap. Mine. That's where the price I mentioned came from. Maybe I got a great deal, maybe not. I feel that's an average price for it.

Oh, and it's not just a coincedence that I have that entire list of autos memorized

I'll take pics one day. Minus the cuts of course. Missed out of one of the Clemente's years ago. And foolishly passed on one of the Cobb cuts at a show. ::facepalm::
