I did some research today on how many individual Autographed cards one specific player has on the market.
I decided to choose Andrew Bogut (the Oz Cards Figurehead) for this experiment. I was curious to find out how rare an autographed Andrew Bogut card really is.
I started out with Upperdeck and was staggered to realise that he has in excess of 5000 individually signed UD cards on the market. These range from sets like Authentic Signatures through to 1 of 1 Logomen. With cards like an SP Authentic rookie numbered to 1299, this set really adds to the total.
This figure also does not include autographed cards that do not have a print run stated. Items like UD Portraits 8 x 10 photos, that do not have a print run were not included. This years Exquisite release will again add to this autograph figure.
I then moved on to Topps, who doesnt have its print runs on its website like UD has. I dont have access to a Beckett here at work, however I would at least estimate that he would have upwards of 3000 Topps autos.
Add to this overall figure the Press Pass autos and we are looking for in excess of 10,000 autographs of one particular player in his rookie season.
Thats one bad case of writers cramp!
I thought I would share this as I found it interesting to see how many autographed cards of one player have been produced.
My question is, are autographed cards overproduced?
Cheers
Matt
