<br />
Does Beckett have any evidence that this card exists?<br />
<br />
2001 Fleer Tradition "Stitches in Time" Willie Mays Autograph #4<br />
<br />
The price guide checklists it and has a high BV of $150.00 for it. Yet I have collected this set and have spoken with many knowledgeable collectors of this set and no one has ever seen this card in autographed form. An unautographed version had surfaced, but not out of a pack (Fleer bankruptcy release). I would like to know how Beckett can catalogue and value this card, as it doesn't exist to my knowledge and isn't traded (i.e. no market information for valuation).<br />
<br />
Question 2:<br />
<br />
The serial number quantities produced of 2007 Upper Deck Sweet Spot Autos is dead wrong in Beckett's checklist on many of the parallels for many different players. I have two Mark Grace cards that can be shown to contradict what Beckett publishes as the print runs. I understand you get this information directly from the manufacturers upon product release, and there may have been changes to the product by the manufacturer that make their provided checklist incorrect. Is there any way we as collectors can submit corrected information and photo evidence to Beckett to update the listings?

W</o:p>ehave 16 confirmed sales on the Mays card, but they're all from 2001. We have it priced at $100-$200. Looks really tough, but it looks like they're probably out there. They were issued as exchange cards. <br />
