Worth authenticating? - folkertino - 09-19-2011 Spain has just won the European Championship, which drew my attention back to this card that I had signed by Rudy Fernandez after one of the preparation games a few weeks ago: What is your opinion, is it worth getting this authenticated? Being from outside the States the price difference between plain slabbing and slabbing + authenticating is really minimal (if I understand the pricing correctly..) Then again, there is a small smudge in the auto and also, he signed kind of in a rush so his auto isn't that clear to identify. Do you guys think it would pass the test? (See below to examples of auto cards, which I don't own btw.) RE: Worth authenticating? - ShaqEatsThat - 09-19-2011 not worth it IMO RE: Worth authenticating? - briankort - 09-19-2011 Unless your a huge Rudy Fernandez fan, I wouldn't bother. Even if the card were to grade a BGS 9.5/PSA 10 and the Auto a 9 (don't think you would get a 10) Your looking at maybe a $15 card. It will cost you more than that to get it graded/authenticated. I wouldn't do it myself. RE: Worth authenticating? - antriarc - 09-19-2011 the sigs look way to different.. shame he was in such a hurry RE: Worth authenticating? - folkertino - 09-22-2011 that's what i thought more or less. thanks for the confirmation
