What are some of the nicest IP autographed CARDS?

Gwynn545 · Jan 11, 2014

Every once in a while a see a really nice Gwynn card autographed IP, and think, "wow!"
A&G and Masterpieces are a couple, almost like they were "made" for autographs, but do you guys know some random cards or inserts that really turned out nice with IP autos?
Heres one for example I just noticed:

Its tough to beat getting an Allen and Ginter card signed. Here's a little evidence to support that (album links to my 2008 Ginter cards only, but I have plenty more in my TTM/IP folder)

This past summer I opened a box of UD Future Stars and pulled the following card. Once I saw it the thought of getting it signed entered my mind. I sent to Jared Burton first in hopes of getting it returned soon enough to turn around and send it to Josh Hamilton. I'll be getting it finished up next year by sending it to Josh Hamilton and I'll ask for him to sign it in black just to match with Burton's auto even though I'd much prefer a nice blue auto from both

Ginter is tough to beat!

I am also fond of 2007/2008 Donruss Americana (retail).

Nice action shot with plenty of room to sign.

Sent from my SCH-I535 using Freedom Card Board mobile app

IMO, Ginter takes it hands down. But 1991 topps, 1990 Leaf, and some of the topps heritage sets look good. But really, I think that's why Ginter wins, because every other card set is pretty much a case by case basis within the set itself. There are some cards that look terrible signed from every set due to the background.

Turkey Reds are another good one. Cards have a good texture to them.

- Topps/Bowman Heritage - designs without facsimile autos, 2001 Bowman Heritage (below) is my favorite
- 1996/1997 Fleer - no gloss, think paper stock, perfect for autographs
- Pretty much any vintage Topps/Bowman without gloss

Somewhere in my collection I have a '96 Bowman in person auto of Spenser. I remember that being a nice sig. Sometimes it does not have to be a brand but a perticular card might have a nice pose or a light spot or a just the right spot for an auto. Little of the card subject but I have a Brosius SI magazine where it is signed up his leg. Perfect place for a sharpie on that white pinstripe background.

Obviously Ginter, Heritage and turkey red are perfect IP cards, but for a little known one, I'll throw out 08 UD, for some reason I always thought they come out nice..
Here's the first example I found

2009 SP Authentic is also nice.

TBTwinsFan · Jan 11, 2014

Believe it or not, Rize cards do well in this category. It sucks that there are no logos or anything.

Anyways, Heritage, Heritage MiLB, Chicle, Gypsy Queen, 1987 Fleer, and of course Ginter are all good.

OscarOne · Jan 11, 2014

I have found that just about every set--well, maybe not Upper Deck in their last few years--seems to have a couple cards that look good signed. I know I like to go through COMC trying to pic out Ginter and Heritage cards that look like they would take a nice signature. Making sure that they backround and uniform is muted enough that the autograph pops is the most important thing.

I'll always love the way this one turned out

Now you just need to get Brett to sign the other side!

I have always been kinda fond of this one...

The old exhibit cards are excellent for autographs too as they are postcard size and display well. Its too bad many of those who were on these types of cards are passing away.

I like the Topps Heritage Minor League for IP autographs. I am also liking the 1991 set and the 2001 Fleer Tradition baseball. Good amount of space on the card and not a lot of "junk" borders or graphics

That is beautiful. Did you buy it or get it signed?

This thread should begin and end with this card.

One of the most beautiful cards that I have ever seen.

I would seriously take that card signed IP/TTM over any certified Mariano Rivera autograph.
