I was looking on ebay and seeing all these 1/1 baseball autos that are going for ridiculously high prices. why do people think just because they have a "1/1" auto that all of the sudden its worth thousands of dollars. makes no sense at all. Of course any auto is going to be a 1/1 because no two signatures are the same. just because upper deck only released one doesnt mean a thing at all. without the upper deck case its still just a cut signature. people dont buy the case theyre buying the autograph and paying way to much. the people that think these 1/1's are somehow better than a regular cut auto need some serious help

ummm... are you new to the hobby? Which would you think would be more valuable... a non numbered pujols auto or a pujols 1/1 auto? I would like to hear your answer.

The 1/1 means the card itself is more rare, not the autograph. Of course, the autograph can't be "rarer" unless it has a certain inscription or something. It's the same reason a superfractor sells more than a base card, there's only 1 superfractor but millions of base cards

im not talking about auto cards, im talking about cut autographs.

So if i put my cut auto in a case and label it 1/1 does that mean all of the sudden its worth thousands more???? I get the fact that upper deck only decided to release one of the autos and make it a 1/1 but any real auto collector doesnt buy based on the case, they buy the auto and most of the 1/1 autos look terrible compared to a non "1/1"

For cut items the 1/1 thing is just a marketing gimmick for men LOL, it's the equivalent of running a shoe sale. A while back someone was trying to pass off a tennis racket signed by Kobe Bryant as a 1/1.

So you're talking about cut autograph cards. It's still a card! The 1/1 is the rarity of the card, not the autograph

[chiefsncards275]

first of all not EVERY cut auto is a 1/1 the guy right above me hit it right on

[whoz your vladdy]

So my smeared Justin Verlander (Bowman Chrome) and Billy Butler (Topps Finest) 1st year cards are 1 of 1 autographs....
