Earliest auto'd baseball card?

I know scans of this card have been posted here before, but it is currently up for auction. Anyone wanna loan me a few grand? I still need Duffy for my HOF collection...

Nice. ***, though?

Yeah, but it also comes with letters from both JSA and PSA/DNA. Obviously, REA knows ***'s current reputation in the hobby.

I knew it was the Mayo Duffy before I clicked the link. It sold for around $1500 (before BP) a few years back. I didn't have the money to go after it then; I'm thinking about it this time.

I don't know what you consider a card or whether or not you consider CDV's and Cabinets as cards, but I've seen stuff from the 1880's auto'd. Using Beckett's rigid definition of a 'card,' this is the earliest I've seen

REA uses JSA no matter what holder its in. Everything has to pass JSA in order to be listed.

I think I've seen a 1887 Old Judge auto'd, but can't remember anything about it.
