Couple Spahn Auto questions

[jgro85]

So I found a couple of Spahn autos in my PC (that I'm now getting rid of) and I have no clue how I got them way back
when.

First one is from 2002 Greats of the Game and it has a stamp on it. Can't find anything about a Spahn #d to 63 from this set, so I'm thinking it was just auto'ed in person at a card show or a store, but my dad purchased it so I have no idea.

This is from 2001 Donruss Classics and has a "Baseline Sports" stamp and is hand #d to 300. I'm guessing it's the same situation as the Greats card, but has anyone seen one of these before?

This one I tried finding on Beckett and I think it's the 2001 Topps Archives AutoProofs card #d to 100. It's his actual 1965 card and has a Topps sticker on the back. Can someone confirm this?

Any help is appreciated, and sorry for the large scans.

the greats was a buy back which was reissued by fleer in 2004 i believe, can't remember the product off hand. the classics was a promotional card which was signed by spahn, while it looks similar to an aftermarket card it is legit.

Halonut is correct about the greats. The words "Authentic Autograph" are at the bottom of the card (under "Boston Braves"). They had "buybacks" that they numbered and rereleased in 2004.


The second card is legit but is definitely aftermarket.

The third could by legit, but I think those originals were all encased. Very easily could be a forgery or an IP made to look legit.

the gold versions were made as a promotion for the baseline sports signing. the versions which were issued in packs are blue.

Thanks guys. The Greats one is a 2004 National Pastime Buyback. I found another Archive Autoproof of Robin Roberts on eBay, looks the same as the Spahn I have...
