Two of the most highly sough after rookie cards from the 2009-10 Panini National Treasures Basketball set have been placed on eBay within a few days of each other. The Logoman Autographs of Blake Griffin and Tyreke Evans are both for sale via Buy It Now on the web site.
Each card features an NBA logoman patch along with a on-card autograph from the player and is machine numbered 1 of 1. These cards, considered by most, as the crown jewels of any collection, have steep price tags. The Evans is prices at $10,000, while the Griffin is priced at $32,000.
The very first 2010 Bowman Chrome Bryce Harper USA Buyback Auto has landed on eBay. The seller has it online with a BIN of $3,000. As you can see from the gallery, the buyback autos feature an on-card auto on the front and are machine numbered to 100 on the back. These cards are only available through the wrapper redemption from Topps.
It’s the type of story typically written just in Hollywood. An undrafted, undersized, unrecognizable, and very unnoticed athlete shoots into superstardom. The New England Patriots Danny Woodhead, who rewrote the NCAA records book out of Chadron State (Nebraska), was one of the best kept secrets during the NFL preseason, until the Jets had to cut him to make room on the roster. The only thing he has done since signing with the Patriots: Produce.
He was rookie last year, but did not have any NFL licensed sports card, until now. Woodhead is not completely without a card, he has an autographed version from Sage that is slowly becoming worth its weight in gold. Panini has announced that Woodhead will be in their upcoming 2010 Contenders release, slated for release on February 6, 2011.
Topps recently announced that the 2010 No. 1 draft pick of the Washington Nationals will be part of a sneak preview of the company’s 2011 Diamond Anniversary autographs in Sterling. The first one to hit eBay should fetch a pretty penny.
Harper, who is signed to Topps exclusively for autographs and memorabilia, signed a total of 60 cards with three inscriptions – “Happy 60th Topps”, “Happy 60th” and “Happy Birthday Topps.”
Topps is confirming that 2010 Topps Magic Football, which guarantees 3 autographs per box, includes several short printed Autograph cards and Base cards.
The following autographs are limited to just 15 copies each. In addition each subject has an Autographed Chrome card #’d to 10.
For over 60 years, Bowman has been the go-to brand for collectors who follow the game’s top Rookies and Prospects. Bowman’s home field advantage continues in 2011 as 30 Bowman Rookies and 110 Prospects take the field led by #1 Draft Pick Bryce Harper!.
One of the most anticipated Baseball product releases each year is without-a-doubt the Bowman Draft Picks & Prospect series from Topps. This year Topps did not disappoint, as the product is loaded. It features 32 different Chrome Auto cards of players taken, many first round choices, in last years MLB Draft. Along with the Prospect Autos, it is full of more Chrome USA Autos, as well as, AFLAC Autogrpahs – which are again machine numbered.
The first 2010 Bowman Draft Bryce Harper AFLAC Auto has hit eBay. Looks to be machine numbered to 230 in the upper left hand corner under the Bowman logo. Seller as a BIN at $999 (was at $899).
Panini recenlty posted an article announcing the arrival of their Tim Tebow 2010 Contenders Rookie Autographs back to their offices. Upon watching the video (see below), I noticed that Tebow had returned various inscribed versions of his Rookie Ticket and Rookie Ink autos. They featured such variations as “God Bless, Go Broncos, GB² (God Bless, Go Broncos), and some of his favorite Bible scriptures.
By the way, check out that awesome 1 of 1 Championship Ticket.
