2012 Panini Signature Series 6 Autos /5
This is one of my favorite cards from the past few years. It has a few flaws with the lack of license and stickers, but overall the card really pops in person. This is probably my second best Maz auto next to a patch auto from one of the first Upper Deck Ultimate Collection sets. Patches for the old time guys are hard to come by.
I was watching this card for a long time thinking that it would go off high, but in the end I paid around $75 if my memory serves me correctly. While that is a lot of money to pay for one card, I actually thought that was a reasonable price for such a high end card. If this was a Topps product the price would have been way north of $100.
It was also exciting for me to obtain my first Sandberg auto. Growing up Sandberg was one of my favorite players as I was able to watch him play on WGN. Good memories of watching Ryno, Hawk and Mark Grace.
Hope everybody is having a good weekend. I've enjoyed watching all the boxes of Allen & Ginter getting busted. I may have to see if I can join in the fun next year. Thanks for reading.
$75? I think in spite of no license, etc it is a steal at $75.
ReplyDeleteThanks Brady! I had a little buyers remorse when I first got it, but knew it was probably a good deal.
DeleteJust go ahead and create an album on SCA called "Stuff everyone will be jealous of" if you're gonna keep posting ridiculous cards like this.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dennis! I like this one too. Like I was telling Brady above, sometimes I have a little buyers remorse on cards like this, but I'm happy I pulled the trigger. I really think it was a good deal.
DeleteTwo great cards
ReplyDeleteThanks Mark. It had been a long time since I added a Maz auto to the collection.
DeleteAnd you got Doerr on the same cad as a bonus.
DeleteHa! I figured you would like that one.
DeleteI have a few Doerr autos. He must have signed a bunch of stuff. Their actually cheap and easy to find
DeleteHe signed a bunch for Upper Deck in the mid 2000's. He was on a lot of cards with Mazeroski. Either way it is a cool auto.
DeleteSix legit guys, hard to beat that.
ReplyDeleteIt was the first time I've ever seen that card. Gerrit Cole had quite a few combo cards like this, but this was the first I've seen of Maz.
DeleteBeautiful card!

Thanks Greg! I've seen a few of those pop up recently. Thanks for the heads up. I'll watch and see how it goes. You lead the league in assists!
DeleteSix big names. #'d to 5. Wow. $75 seems like a steal. Great pickup. The Schoendienst and Mazeroski signatures are awesome. Love how you can see each of the letters in their autographs.
ReplyDeleteThanks Fuji! I was happy with all the autos minus Sandberg. He seemed to be intoxicated when signing my card.
