Ripken auto value???? - skyhawk27 - 09-29-2014
Trying to get an approximate value on a Cal Ripken JR autographed Sports Illustrated cover. It is numbered 13/300 and has a COA. I found the same cover signed with the number of games played as part of the sig but none without it. Any thoughts? Still working on getting a pic to post as well. Thanks for the help.

Sounds like it was part of some limited print signing (hence the serial numbering). Who is the COA from?
You mentioned, "I found the same cover signed with the number of games played as part of the sig but none without it." Not sure if you are implying that yours doesn't have the number of games played as part of the sig, but a picture would definitely clear that confusion up. Some companies do signings with an athlete signing the same item hundreds of times, adding different inscriptions to certain batches of the item. The company then serial numbers them differently, so Ripken could have signed 600 total SIs for the company, and 300 were just basic signatures and the other 300 were signed with the number of games inscription, but the company serial numbered each batch out of 300.

Where's that COA from? That's the key to the whole discussion.
