Felt like showing something so I figured this was nice even if it did not grade good.I hope to upgrade it if I ever find another one.

VERY nice card! I don't think very may of those are in good shape. Mine probably would grade a 7. Very tough card to find though!

Alright McGwire experts. Can someone help me out here, please. I've had this card for a while and I’m trying to find a new home for it. I don’t want to spam, but something has come up with my auction that I could use some clarification on

I’ve read what Don had said about the Missing Link auto’s and went on his info. Now I’ve got this card and received this message from an ebay member

Less than a month ago I confirmed with Beckett that the MISSING LINK card has a HAND WRITTEN serial number - not a machine stamped one like yours. I am confident that this is a wonderful one of 25 McGwire signed card BUT it is NOT a part of the Missing Link series. Feel free to call me at #***** and I will discuss this further with you and even give you names and phone numbers of the people at Beckett that I talked to. Regards -- ******

Now it looks like, Don’s card is signed in black and mine is in blue. Is there another variation out there, is this part of the Missing Link’s? I don’t want to give the wrong info out on my auction. Thanks for your help, guys!

Thats the missing link. Last one went for 191. I'm assuming it's really blue ink that has faded to black for Dons. I have a Game Face auto that had this problem (which I still need to take off the list).

These are the other two autos that were sometimes mistaken for the missing link:

Happy Birthday, bud!!!!

my wife turns 34 on Saturday.....

Braves2008champs, I agree on all points with Joe. When blue ink fades, it turns navy blue, then blackish looking. Black fades to a brown, and then tan/yellow looking. There is only one version of the ink. All missing links were numbered by hand except the one you have, they were all machine stamped for that design.

Jerry, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

However, you should have held out for 1 month and 2 days because that is the greatest day on earth!

Ok guys here it is. My pride and joy. I got this TTM in 93. I've always believed it to be real. I'm almost positive it is but I haven't coughed up the dough to authenticate it. Quite frankly, I think you guys have a better grasp on Mcgwire graphs anyways. So give it to me straight guys. What do you think....................
