So I listed this card last night, hoping to get maybe $80 or so at the end of the auction. I look at it today, and it's already up to $118. What gives? I looked up completed listings of Brett autos, and the average going rate seems to be somwhere between $60 - $90. Needless to say, I'm pleased so far!

George Brett isn't that frequent of a signer for the card companies any more. Especially on card autographs like that one. And, it's 1 of 10. Even his 1 of 2000 Donruss Signature ones sell for $45 to $60. He's just a pretty good seller and combine that with the rarity level, that price so far doesn't surprise me.

George Brett stuff sells pretty well, that year of Topps Sterling is especially popular, because it looked nice and the autos were on-card, plus it's 5/10, Brett's jersey number. If I were you, I'd relist it as 2006 George Brett Topps Sterling Jersey/Auto 5/10.

Aw hell, I didn't even realize it was his jersey number. Thanks for pointing that out. Got myself a little "ebay 1/1" :lol:
