| I personally would get it autographed if you can.I have seen such
things go for a lot of money. Check note 15 on autographs it's a
good reference.

| 177.2 | I'd keep them MINT! | AKOV13::GASPARONI | | Thu Sep 06 1990 11:12 | 12 |
| Maris will be hard to get, unless you have connections above. I'd
leave them blank. Spend you money on having a larger picture
autographed, I don't think the auto will increase the card that much
more. Only my opinion, but a card collector likes the cards
uncluttered, without the autograph on it. It may even decrease the
value of the actual card and not give you a real return on the
autograph investment. Remember, a Mantle auto will cost you $35, plus
admission to the show, usually $5, so thats $40 for that one card.
Will the card go up $40 over the mint price, because the card is no
longer Mint, you wrote on it. Cards are like stamps, cancell them and
there not worth as much, unless there old. I'd put them in plastic and
leave them MINT.

| These cards have a thick white border where the names appear. Ideal
for autographing and not defacing the card. Just make sure he signs
white border only.
They are 5 x 7 black and white.
None are for sale.

| 177.5 | I Agree. | AKOV13::GASPARONI | | Fri Sep 07 1990 12:59 | 8 |
| I agree. Why did I go out and by a P-S MM autog'd card. Because MM
wasn't signing them for a while and the price was going up fast. No
question about it, I'm proud of my MM autographed material, so it
depends on the collector. But I still say, a 1952T Mint is worth more
w/o the Autograph than with it, and I wouldn't waste the auto on a
regular BB card. But if he has a nice place to sign the auto on the
card, it may be a nice thing to get done. It should make for a nice
collection and since its not for sale, why not, go for it!

Don't know. It's becoming impossible even to define card.
What have we wrought?

| Hi Folks:
I'm the base noter and guess what? Went to a show this weekend.
Saw some similar smaller cards, but they were very small. I spoke
with a dealer and he did tell me they are extremely scarce especially
in mint condition. He stated 5X7 picture packs are very tough to
come by and it was interesting to hear that one full 64 Yankee Team
survived all these years. He commented don't have them autographed.

| Did not get in full discussion on worth nor on who published. Did
say that 5 x 7's in mint are extremely tough to ever come by.
He said Mickey Mantle, Marris, Ford, make a great collection
for a full picture pack and stated most like yours are never
sold and just end up in a private collection.
