Sometimes it's a name, sometimes it's a nickname, sometimes it's a city name, sometimes it's a team name, sometimes it's something else.<br /> <br /> I prefer names only as that's what appears on the jerseys.<br /> Beckett Baseball: Ask the editor - chrisolds - 12-07-2009 amysb4212 Wrote:Hello, Chris. I just have to say that I love your allen and ginter card and would love to get one. I think that is awesome!! On to my questions. <br /><br /> <br /> All three should be listed as UERs. However, those tags can be hit and miss as errors and variations aren't as heavily collected as they might have been in the past. (It was easier to get all those things noted with details when there were only a handful of sets made each year.)<br /> Beckett Baseball: Ask the editor - chrisolds - 12-07-2009 jbmm161 Wrote:Chris,<br /><br /> <br /> It all just comes down to players' signing preferences and costs for most of the companies. Feliz autographs should be showing up in future products as there should be demand. <br /> <br /> Hunter I'm not so sure on -- though there are a lot of his USA Baseball autographs out there.<br /> Beckett Baseball: Ask the editor - chrisolds - 12-07-2009 RiceLynnEvans75 Wrote:<br />chrisolds Wrote:Beckett does track and document past sales for auctions on cards numbered to fewer than 25 copies.

Example...2006 topps cracker jack, a card will be worth maybe a dollar, but when looking it up, it has beside it a " SP " and then it was worth four times as much. Can anyone help me out with understanding this? Thanks alot.<br /> <br /> Both statements are correct, one is just fancier than the other. In regards to the Cracker Jack sets, some players only had one card and were short printed while other players had two cards in the set, each with a different pose/picture. One would be short printed while the other was a regular run. I put together the 2004 set and from what I understood at the time was it gave a reflection of some of the differences between the '14 and '15 Cracker Jack cards. 1914 Cracker Jack are more scarce than 1915.<br /> Beckett Baseball: Ask the editor - ricelynnevans75 - 12-07-2009 chrisolds Wrote:<br />RiceLynnEvans75 Wrote:<br />chrisolds Wrote:Beckett does track and document past sales for auctions on cards numbered to fewer than 25 copies.

I found the answer to be quite surprising, considering that there are so many of those Mickey Mantle Story cards and the Mickey Mantle Home Run cards. Were these considered? Or was the question only focusing on cards produced while an active ball player?<br /> <br /> James LaCroix<br /> New Haven, CT. Beckett Baseball: Ask the editor - seancampbell - 12-08-2009 Hi Chris, got a good one for you...<br /> <br /> Paul Konerko had many minor league cards produced in 1994, he also had the Stadium Club Draft Picks #80 XRC and a Topps Traded #112T card (which was only released in the Topps Traded full set form). <br /> <br /> My question is why is the Topps Traded listed as a RC? and not a XRC like Topps Traded RC's of the past? Shouldn't cards like 1995 Bowman, Bowman's Best, Pinnacle, Stadium Club, Topps be the RC's with the 1994 Traded and Stadium Club Draft getting the XRC's?<br /> <br /> Thanks, Sean.<br /> Beckett Baseball: Ask the editor - cardexcalibur - 12-08-2009 A question if anyone can help me out ...when looking up baseball cards and for example, in topps heritage 06'..beside some of the cards will appear an " sp " what exactly does it mean, how can you tell, and why does it increase the value of a card so much ?? |
