I was looking for information about McGwire's early autographed cards. I've seen several Mother's Cookies, Star, and Barry Colla (I attached pics from eBay). It doesn't appear that the Mothers or Star have any marking acknowledging that they are autographed, but there appear to be a lot of them and they look pretty consistent. Any info on how they were issued, if they are authentic, value, anything is appreciated. Also, are there any other autos from before the 2002 UD? Thanks for any help.

Mothers ones were most likely signed in person.

Colla was released with a print run /200
Star was released with a total print run /500 but there were two inks. 400 were green ink, 100 were blue ink

(ignore the 759 auto in the link below, that was in in person one)

[MENTION=1983]onionring9[/MENTION] Good info on the '88 Star! I guess I'm two cards short, and it seems like they may be a tough find after 29 years...

They surprisingly pop up fairly regularly. I honestly haven't been looking at ink color though so not sure how often blue pops up vs green.

Thank you for the great information! I love the way that site appears to be set up. I'm excited about a new toy to play on and view all the awesomeness.

I think I bought the green auto sealed set for under $25, maybe even under $20.

Hmm I wouldn't expect that as the norm, because that's a ridiculous sale. I'd expect 70 -125 for the green auto. Blue is a crapshoot, just hope nobody notices the ink when its up.

So I am getting back into the game after a long time of being out hoping to reconnect with some of the guys from back in the day when we worked on the site together.

My recent pickup. Hopefully people will start sharing more because I love looking at people's new cards.

Is the 2017 Five Star the first product that he has inscribed "big Mac"? I remember a Panini auto where he signed Colossus, but I don't remember a Big Mac before now

nice pickups!

I need to finish unpacking my cards from the fire. Once I do that I'll get some scans up. Have a couple boxes of unsorted mac's to go through.
