2014 Panini Classics Andrew McCutchen Auto /149
I've mentioned a lot that Cutch hasn't signed much of anything since he evolved into one of the better players in the league. Probably just the result of demand skyrocketing. Several years back I was relentless in my quest to find his auto releases. For the most part I consider my collection fairly complete as I have most of his non parallel releases. The only card I feel that I really need to have is the Bowman Aflac rookie, but it is very expensive.
With all that being said a few newer Cutch autos have found their way into Panini sets thanks to sticker autos. I'm not as against sticker autos as some as it helps lower the cost. If this auto was a standard Topps on card auto the price would probably be in the 75-125 range. This Panini Classics ran me $43 shipped. Still a pretty high price, but put into context of what a normal Cutch auto costs I'll take it.
I'll be back to a more normal blogging schedule Saturday. I'm flying back home tonight and will be attending the West Virginia Black Bears first game tomorrow. I'm very excited for that.
Thanks for reading!
Nice Cutch! Kind of crazy to think that $43 seems pretty reasonable for that, but then again he's good enough to justify the price.
ReplyDeleteYeah, that amount would net you the very best auto a few years back. Now that is about as cheap as it gets.
DeletePlayers like McCutchen are why Bowman has made sure that every first rounder has a Bowman Chrome autograph. Just imagine how expensive his first Bowman Chrome auto might be today if it existed.
ReplyDeleteOh my....It would be crazy. Maybe not quite Trout, but it would be up there.
DeleteNice auto but what is that swatch made out of? Looks like gauze
ReplyDeleteGame used gauze!
