If you are looking for a Kevin Durant autograph that
isn’t an autograph as well as being an eBay 1/1 then I have found the auction for
you. This 2007-08 Sweet Spot Signatures Durant autograph card, where the
autograph has almost completely disappeared, can be had for only $3,535.35
If Kevin Durant isn’t your cup of tea than how about a
2007-08 Sweet Spot Signature Kobe Bryant autograph card where Kobe’s signature
is also pulling a disappearing act? This eBay 1/1 can be yours for a discounted $2,424.24
The seller, from China, suggests that if you purchase
these cards you should contact Upper Deck so you can request of an exchange for
an equal value card. I am pretty sure Upper Deck would tell you to forget about
it if you tried asking for a replacement of a 7 year old card.
Sadly the 2007-08 Sweet Spot Signature cards are
notorious for disappearing ink. I couldn’t even imagine dropping hundreds, if
not thousands, when these came out only have to a blank card within 5-7 years.
It is odd too that the 2006-07 and the 2008-09 releases do not have the same
problems, does anyone know what was different in the
2007-08 version?
it likely has to do with the quality of the leather they used. UD probably used a cheaper leather not thinking it mattered. Only to realize very quickly how much it did matter.
ReplyDeleteI have a Robin Yount from that set that is pretty badly faded too. Ernest is 100% right -- poor quality leather will fade every time.
ReplyDeleteI've seen faded Ron Santo autos on ebay where the seller makes no mention of it. Thankfully I think I only have one of those.
