You're going to see fraud with that card...

Mark my words... it'll be sold as original.

There are no refractor parallels.

If buyers get fooled, it's their own damn fault

It looks good enough for eBay. And no, it's not the buyers "own damn fault" if they get fooled on an ebay transaction of a card that certainly looks like an autographed RC, especially if one isn't incredibly educated in the card.

It's missing the certified autograph logo on the front. If someone is going to drop hundreds to thousands of dollars on a baseball card, I would like to think they are somewhat educated in what to look for.

First time I can recall diecuts in a chrome product - [phil:278cfyei]230687990400[/phil:278cfyei]

Kind of sucks that they just reprinted guys like Juan Segura - [phil:278cfyei]400250385062[/phil:278cfyei]

Got Segura's 2010 Bowman red ref BGS 9.5 /5, hoping it's rare enough and his first card that it doesn't take too much of a value decrease with the new printed chrome set

I definitely agree. However with the hundreds and thousands of different, recent sets out there its not tough to get confused.

He has an auto I'm guessing?

Topps needs to stop making basecards of the Autographs and that problem would not exist.

I should have my case on Wednesday.

tell me about it...

it especially sucks that he has an auto as well...the base chrome is just overkill.

 

[wolfmanalfredo]

With die cuts, that just might get me to buy in for a taste. Thats one of the many aspects that need to be re-introduced to the hobby.

I agree. Never planned on buying any 2011 Finest, until I saw the Die Cut Auto /10.

Hobby Odds:

Bryce Harper Autographed Prospect - 1:936

Retail Odds:

Bryce Harper Autographed Prospect - 1:3003

OMG!

 

[SeattleSports]

Hobby Odds:

Bryce Harper Autographed Prospect - 1:936

Retail Odds:

Bryce Harper Autographed Prospect - 1:3003

OMG!

That's great news!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't think that's negative, think about it. There are 40 prospect autos which means your odds of pulling any particular players base auto is 1:936 for a SPECIFIC player. That means he is NOT a short print. Look at the math, a base prospect auto in 2011 BC retail is 1:77 packs... and it was 1:191 last year. But if there are 40 players, the odds of getting a specific player based off those retail odds ares 1:3080. Which means Bryce Harper is NOT a short print and your odds of pulling him and anyone else are the EXACT same.
