No surprise on Fed. Even if not an SP it is easily his nicest card out there. Compared with guys like Jordan, Tiger, Gretzky, etc. who have hundreds of auto issues out this guy basically just has some lousy looking Ace cards and this.

Nice research GC.
Just shows how tough some of those HOF autos are going to be.

 

[padremurph]

Gwynn seems to be a tough pull too. Seems like there have been a few reds out there and a handful of blues. Blue auto seems to be going for around $100.

Having a 2006 auto hurt these for Gwynn.....I think they are still undervalued for being SP

Griffey will be a strong card once live.

 

[matchpenalty]

Pedroia, Wells, Hunter seem they also could be sp some.

No question this years Ginter auto checklist is off the charts. Will be interesting if anybody does a blue or a red ink set and completes it. So many tough ssp in it.

Try finding a David Price Blue for a good price... they are super rare. Also Dan Uggla hasn't signed too many. I just picked up a Musial on ebay. I wish I had more cheese to collect this set. Top to bottom, its the best autograph set ever.

Also Brian McCann is a super SP

Price is another toughie I need to add.

Best ever; almost. IMHO 2006 still wins; the non-baseball stars were much better (Tyson, Danica, Iron, Hogan, Finch, Wooden, Spinks, Couture, Kobayashi)

That is a good point... I guess I was speaking from a pure Baseball perspective: No other set has Aaron, Mays, Koufax, Musial, Ryan, Ripken, Griffey and Pujols in it. Throw in the oncoming stars of this decade (Harper, Trout) and you have the best baseball autograph set in my opinion.

It seemed like to me that early boxes of this stuff were loaded. It will be interesting to see what comes out of later boxes. Are any of these rare
red inks coming from rip cards?

Darvish......other big names seem to have frames.

Yaz not worth the research

By the way I have only seen 3 Reds listed so far with 2 being sold and 0 blue autos

They have not for the past year or two; here's hoping.

Josh Hamilton seems to have less copies than his previous Topps issues.
