Card was too cheap, I had to pick it up...(x2)

[Topnotchsy]

Saw the auction in the last minute and threw out a bid. I think that most people do not realize that these are game-used, and I believe the proliferation of game-used and auto'd stuff that has come out recently (Ultimate, Sterling and Prime Cuts) combined with the economy has really hurt prices.

$98.83+shipping.

Just snagged another. Under $60 for this beauty /15. No way they can stay this cheap. If 2-3 people start pushing for the set and have to compete with player collectors, the rarer one's especially should start getting real attention (like the Chipper that was mentioned.)

Great card. I am shocked it went for that little

That's a really sweet card to have such a high print run, awesome pickup. The auto looks sharp too.

I don't think most people realize that the bats are game-used. There haven't been too many bat barrel cards made with or without autographs before, and the one's that did all sold well, but it makes sense for UD to cut a bat into a couple hundred of these instead of 1000+ smaller pieces, if it makes them real draw cards. I've actually never had a Jeter Auto before.

Thanks. The autographs on many of them are not all that gorgeous, so that was a plus for me. It's not a prospect card, but I believe these should see decent price increases in the next few months as they dry up.

Yep...a Ryno finshed at under $50 just a little bit ago. They are nice cards. Most of the autos I've seen are bold.

Do you think it's just that people don't realize that the bats are game-used? The prices on some (especially the older players) seem insanely low.

I think that is part of it. While these are not quite as good as the GU barrel autos from Sweet Spot, I think they're the next best thing.

Nice pick-up! That Jeter is G!

Re: Card was too cheap, I had to pick it up...

That's a great card and a great price. Personally I have avoided these because I'm concerned about the autograph bleeding into the wood fiber over time. I'm just not sure how it will look in a year or two so I'm avoiding these. Maybe others have the same concern and that's a contributing factor for the low prices?

 

[chuckbartowski]

Re: Card was too cheap, I had to pick it up...

Not all of them are selling low...a Chipper is up right now with 6 hours left, and it's at almost $250! I want it, but I'll try to wait for the next one.

I'm going to keep them out of direct sunlight, but I really don't worry about that.

I saw that. It's numbered way lower than the Jeter, but I could see them all becoming really hot.
