After living through the cards of the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s when Upper Deck came along with photography like this it turned the hobby on its ass. I do miss them in baseball.
I’ve wanted to add a Ruth auto to my collection for a looooong time. Haven’t made a deal for this one yet, but working on it! (Check out those crappy cards in the case below, too….)
Welcome to the Autograph Collectors group! While I collect cards in general, I love autographs - especially on-card, rookies, and vintage with some memorabilia, too! Jeter has one of the best autographs in the game. Clear, bold, consistent and unique.
I figured Jackie Robinson day was the right time to share my only Jackie Robinson autograph. From the epic Upper Deck SP legendary cuts set, this card features a cut autograph from a canceled check from Jackie Robinson. The card has been graded a BGS 9.5, with the only bad part being the autograph is partially covered by the canceled bank stamp. I’ve been on the hunt for a nice Jackie Robinson, early Leaf or Topps card for a reasonable price. Unfortunately, I still don’t have one as part of my PC.
