The Rise and Fall of the Hank Greenberg cut auto
Slash, when did cut autos start to suck?
This thought of mine came about after I purchased this card. An excellent card, a 1/1 cut autograph from Topps, what's not to love?
What's not to love:
1. Design is lackluster and boring.
2. There is no image of HG's face on the card. (which I will get into later)
3. This is HG's ONLY card from 2013 Topps Series 2. His only card from 2013 Topps Series 1 is the same card. I haven't seen it, but I can't imagine that it varies in any meaningful way.
4. There is no connection to the set from looking at the front of the card. The set is called "Chasing History Cut Signatures", but there is no way anyone could have known that from looking at the front of the card.
The list goes on... Don't get me wrong, I love this card, as I do every card in my collection, but I wish that card companies would do more when issuing cut autographs in products.
In all of 2013, HG had 11 cards issued. 9 of them are 1/1 cut autographs. For player collectors, obtaining all, nonetheless 1 of these cards is damn near impossible. I was lucky enough to be known on the FCB forums as the HG collector, and was contacted asking if I had interest in the card. Not knowing if he would have sold it otherwise if he didn't know that I existed.
Because pulling a 1/1 from a product like 2013 Topps or something similar is so rare, it could even be possible that some of the 1/1s from 2013 haven't been pulled yet, similar to the story behind this card. The original owner randomly bought a 2013 Topps Series 2 jumbo box and pulled it.
A brief history lesson on HG cut autos over the years.
The first HG cut autograph card was issued in 2002 SP Legendary Cuts, widely regarded as the greatest cut autograph set ever produced, featuring legends of the game like Babe Ruth (/3), Christy Mathewson (/2), Honus Wagner (/6), Joe DiMaggio (/103), Lou Gehrig (/3), Mickey Mantle (/2), Ty Cobb (/2), and Walter Johnson (/20) with high numbered and more rare subjects included.
HG had 94 cut signature cards issued in this set. This set had everything. Beautiful imagery, big, full windows for the autograph to show cleanly, hand numbered cards. This was cut autographs in their best.
Around the time of 2004, HG 1/1 cuts were being issued in products at a more frequent rate.
Upper Deck and SP Legendary Cuts still owned the cut autograph space, and Topps was struggling to keep up in both volume and quality.
Then came 2006 SP Legendary Cuts, the resurgence of the vintage cut autograph in baseball cards. Also by Upper Deck, these cards are the beautiful brothers and sisters to the 2002 set. In 2006 SP Legendary Cuts, HG was featured in 4 different subsets, totaling 114 cut autograph cards in the entire product, exceeding the total from 2002. Here are two that were done very well in my own collection:
After the 2006 set, 1/1 cut autos were produced as one offs in products such as 2006 Topps Co-Signers, which I believe only survived for 2 years.
After that came the 2007 SP Legendary Cut set, which gave us similar aesthetic and high volume, producing 94 total cards, including one pairing with Babe Ruth, and another with Sandy Koufax, both 1/1s.
Then came 2008 SP Legendary Cuts, and Upper Deck stopped using player photographs on their cards. We also began to see more autographs cut off by a window, and very ugly cuts as evident that Upper Deck was running out of visually pleasing autographs to put in their cards. With that, we saw a drop off in the amount of cut autograph cards of HG produced, now down to at least 15 between two subsets(one card that featured a cut auto was not numbered, so no one really knows how many of them are out there).
2009 SP Legendary Cuts featured 17 HG autos, with still no image of him on the card.
You get the picture. The cut auto game, once ruled by Upper Deck and SP Legendary Cuts was and is now a shell of itself. Now, we are getting results like these:
I'm sorry Topps, I don't recognize a player by the name of "Ank Greenberg".
Somebody please alert the authorities, we have a missing letter to report.
Not only are the quality of the autographs within the card diminishing, but the designs of the card itself are too. That is why any of the cut autos from 2002 SP Legendary Cuts would outsell any 1/1 cut like from 2014 Topps Five Star ($225 on two occassions)
You might then say, "hey, what about the 2014 Topps Dynasty 1/1 cut?" To that I would say:
1. This card was put on eBay at the height of the Topps Dynasty hype
2. This card has superior design if put up against 2014 Topps Five Star or 2013 Topps
3. This sale was a fluke, no other 1/1 cut sold recently had approached $250
So there.
What's the solution, card manufacturers? Stick to what works. Card companies need to go back to the glory days of cut auto cards, where beautiful player images and backgrounds combined with full windows that do not obstruct the autograph. It's a simple solution, however, we may not see it come to fruition.
Because really, what is so unique about this?

Friendly competition + unemployment = lots of cards
Some weeks ago I cultivated a relationship with someone else in this world that collects Hank Greenberg cards.
You might be thinking, "what, someone else collects this stuff?" In fact, yes. they do.
While speaking with him and comparing our collections, I think it fueled a bit of a fire in me to best his collection. He has a ton of high end cut autographs, low numbered cards, bat cards and some vintage. Nothing short of a great collection.
I really enjoy talking with him (almost daily) and asking for advice on purchases, prices etc. If you don't know someone who collects the same way you do, I highly recommend you reach out to them for their friendship, guidance and knowledge.
So I've been buying. Also probably aided by my being unemployed since early January. With time comes opportunity. And with opportunity, comes a hot streak.
Everything below is what I've acquired since early January, with two more cards coming this and next week:

Collection Showcase: Something new I'm trying...
I've decided to try something a bit different with my collection; each day I will post a short YouTube video highlighting 5 new cards or items each day from my collection and will talk about each one of them. It gives me more time and freedom to speak and explain nuances of the cards, how I acquired them, etc.
I actually really enjoy making these short videos. I've found that I forget how I've felt about some of the things I've acquired, so pulling them out and talking about them has been a great way for me to reminisce.
Also, the feedback I've been getting on my videos has been good, although I would like to reach a broader audience, so I've been trying to plug it on the forums to get some more viewers and subscribers to those who really care.
So, if you are interested to see and learn more, the playlist link is below:
Enjoy!

It's been a while
For 2015 I want to be posting more regularly. Wanted to give a broad overview of my pickups over the past few months.
July was nice, landing a couple of nice vintage cards, 1 an upgrade and the other a variation of what I currently had. A 1935 Goudey 4-in-1 #9F courtesy of Kevin Savage auctions. Probably overpaid for it considerably, as it graded only a SGC 20, but I like the card for what it is.
Also found my upgrade to the 1939 Exhibit Salutation "Very Truly Yours" from a deal on the Blowout forums, then sold my older version for $5 less than the price that I bought my upgrade. Not a bad deal if you ask me! This graded as an SGC 40, a bit less than I thought it would, but still very pleased with it.
August was fruitful. Went to a show and sold a few cards for $195, and gambled to win $81 in the same day at the casino upstairs to help fund my biggest purchase to date. A 1937 O-Pee-Chee beaut graded an SGC 50. The card is more beautiful in person and is now a huge puzzle piece sealed in my quest for the master vintage set.
After this quite massive purchase I sequestered myself from buying to help recoup my cash pool. September was slow, with no purchases, but I did submit 3 cards to SGC for grading.
October proved less-profitable, but did get the grades back from SGC, including the blue Batter Up that got an SGC 10 which was expected. This was also the month that 2014 Panini Classics came out. I ended up landing the base card, a parallel /149, a Home Run Heroes insert and a couple of triple bat cards featuring famous Tigers and Pirates.
November came to be great, where my long discussions with a dealer and web designer proved fruitful of my first printing plate, and fourth 1/1 for $50.
December had been uneventful, until tonight, where I just agreed to buy the brand new 2014 National Treasures bat /99 from a guy on the Blowout Forums that should be my last pickup of this 2014.
Happy New Year all, and thanks for the read.

Bats on bats on bats
Over the last month I've focused on tackling some of the bat cards that I avoided in the past. I like getting the bat cards, although I try not to think about where the bat sliver actually came from. Glad that I've completed the run of the non-expensive 2012 Panini National Treasures bat cards, so hoping I can acquire some of the higher-end cards paired with other legends of the game.
I was also fortunate to acquire a tough card that rarely comes up with the 2005 SP Legendary Cuts bat /15 for a very decent price.
All below are the cards that I have acquired over the past month.

New pickup: Batter Up v3 + a discovery
Nailed another color variation in the 1934 Batter Up rainbow for a cool $50:
Also was part of a cool discovery that took place on the Net54 forums. It was thought that cards #1-81 had 6 color variations of each card. It was discovered that cards #40-81 of the set have 4 color variations: magenta, blue, black and brown upon extensive research from ended eBay auction, other collectors' cards, etc. So that was pretty cool, I've never been part of a discovery before. Which means I only need a browntone card to finish this set, which I've been at for almost a year already.
Well, until next time cronies.

A great new autograph purchase
A couple of weeks ago I stumbled across a a poor eBay listing for a Hank Greenberg autograph authenticated by PSA. Quite possibly the best Greenberg autograph example I own, it only cost me $60.
Here are the pics below.

[new pickup] 2012 Panini National Treasures (again)
But who knows. I might take a bit of a break if I don't see anything I absolutely MUST have. Until further notice.
I do however want to post more about what I already have. OH, and I need to post about my experience with Jordan Teicher.
Definitely more to come.

New pickup: 1934 Batter Up v2
There are certain moments, when cards go on eBay and I say to myself, "Yep, I'm going to win that card." I bet more collectors feel that way as well.
I had decided at the NSCC this past August that I wanted to go after all color variations of the 1934 Batter Up # 57 Hank Greenberg. I bought and graded this one a few years ago, and was a fan of this issue ever since.
At the National, with this in mind, I found two Batter Ups that I pondered, and passed, and pondered, and passed, and offered and counter-offered several times on both cards. I had to pass on a blue version (shown in this link) because of back damage, and the fact that the dealer's price was too high for the card. I think I might have already explained this story once here before, but I'm not remembering so I'll just continue.
The second of the two cards I was much more interested in. A black tinted, raw, sharp card. Guy was asking $300 for it, but $250 if I decided to pay in cash. I mulled the buy over, and over, and over the three days I was there. I finally gathered up the stones to withdraw the money (with trouble I might add, Wells Fargo didn't take kindly to me withdrawing large amounts in Chicago, Illinois without telling them in advance.)
I was at the table. Took the card out of the book that I found it in, and heavily inspected it. I found a slight tear where the end of the bat reaches the top edge of the card, and I was immediately turned off. It created a tear in the card, and for $250 I couldn't warrant spending that on a card I know didn't meet the grade for the price.
I passed.
So, present day, I found the card on eBay, and like I said, I knew I was going to have it. I placed my bid with 6 days and change left and carefully watched the auction, padding my bid twice once the activity came from other bidders. I won the card easily, and now it's a day away from arriving, and I can't wait to own it.

A once-in-a-lifetime Card: Now Mine
It's not often that a collector has a truly pleasant experience with a seller, but I can now say that I have.
In the post I wrote recently about 2012 Panini National Treasure I spoke briefly about an almost unobtainable card that I saw in the checklist. The card is a booklet of a cut signature paired with a jumbo piece of lumber. A card, no doubt, that could be the centerpiece of any collection.
After that post was published there were two more of those cards, numbered to only 5 that appeared on eBay. Aside from those two, there was one that surfaced that was a slight variation in that there was no nickname stencil in the other half of the booklet.
I then watched carefully as the high BIN prices were set, and never met. The National was approaching, and I knew my plans to go, do I figured I'd try to find one there. With no such luck of course.
A day after coming home from Chicago I had the itch for more. I looked up the completed, unsold card listing from one in Florida (the other being in Taiwan and I was not about to pay $30 to ship a card) and contacted the seller about the card since I hadn't seen it relisted.
Luckily he still had the card, and we came to an agreement (easily I will add). He gave me time to get paid from work to fund the card.
I paid for the card today, 8/19, it's in the mail and I am happy as a clam. And should get the card by end of week :)

Happy birthday to me [23]
This post Sunday (6/9) marked my 23rd birthday.
Gifts always surprise me. Although I don't trust those responsible of gifting me to gift me cards, I was rather surprised and impressed this year.
My Mom is part of the board of trustees for the temple (1st VP) and while at a meeting, the Rabbi, and avid reader presented the group with two books, one being John Rosengren's Hank Greenberg : The Hero of Heroes. Mom conveyed that she needed to get this book for me.
Later that week she saw the Rabbi again, and he said that this was the best book on Hank Greenberg he had ever read. This sold her, as if she wasn't going to get it for me in the first place.
I'm not much of a reader, but I have already completed one chapter. The first chapter, titled Leshono Toivo stories Greenberg's struggle with his decision of playing or not playing his rookie year on Rosh Hashanah day in 1933. I did not realize how the city of Detroit was so invested in this decision. As I was reading, I was envisioning how this decision would pan out in modern times. Would it be a big deal?
I'd like to do a book review when I finish it, whenever that will be.
Thanks for taking the time to read this post, look out for more about the book and about the collection as I always look to add to it.

National Treasure
This card cost me $50, a price I am pretty happy with. It's pretty much the only premium card from the set I would be able to afford at a decent price, at least for now. Many of the cards have superstars attached to some incredible piece of memorabilia, be it a jersey, patch or even glove in this triple including Jimmie Foxx and Mel Ott.
Who knows, if that stays reasonable I might snag that one as well, I don't own a glove card outside of this cool 2003 Joe Borchard card that isn't on eBay. Too lazy to scan it.
My best steal??
I wanted to share with you all a steal of a steal that I got last month off of eBay. I won the above card for $0.99, PLUS shipping.
The information includes Hank's place of birth (New York, NY) height (6'4'') weight (215) nationality (Jewish) (lol) service (US Army) bats (right) throws (right) eye color (brown) hair color (brown) and who he is married to (Caral Gimbel).
The simple fact that they would include who he is married to is bizarre to say the least, and Sports Exchange shows their cultural ignorance by including Hank's nationality being Jewish. He was born in Greenwich Village, NY, not Tel Aviv, Israel.
Oh well. It's the 40's.

Good Wood
The most recent product release of 2012 Panini National Treasures Baseball has yielded 10 different cards with Hank Greenberg and his often used bat displayed on it. I have bought one card which should be arriving on Monday (3/11) so I will put that up when the time comes. I'm not into the different color variations of a card (although I am guilty with 2007 Premier baseball), so I will try to acquire as many as I can.
Except this went up for auction the other day.
That shit ain't fair. A B/O (best offer) was hit for under $1,299. only numbered to 5. I have a realistic chance at 8 of the other cards that Greenberg is featured on, but this one, and the bat knob card that is said to exist are way too far out of my price range.
On Friday I received a card that has long been on my want-list.
It's numbered to only 25, from 2002 Fleer Platinum and it cost me far less than what I've seen them go for in the past at $59. I also didn't have much competition in terms of other people bidding on this one.
I guess patience really is a virtue. According to the 2011 Standard Catalog of Baseball Cards these cards are not priced due to scarcity. And I landed mine for a healthy $59. Needless to say I am incredibly pleased with this buy.
In fact, there is a similar card that is on eBay right now for a BIN (Buy It Now) of $180.
2002 Fleer Platinum Cornerstones Hank Greenberg Jimmie Foxx Dual Bat 25/25
This ranks as my second card that features both Jimmie Foxx and Hank Greenberg, the first being

Remember to check back on Monday/Tuesday when I reveal which bat card I got from 2012 National Treasure.
Until then.

SGC Poppage!
I love screenshots. The only reason the Play Ball is graded 0 is that I asked for same or better grading, and I am guessing it did not reach that minimum. No matter, I'll resubmit it and have it changed into the SGC holder at a lower grade.
I'll post more pictures when the cards arrive.
Thanks for tuning in!
