After months of hibernation, the etopps autograph program has returned with an offering of 50 2001 Reggie Wayne cards at $29.99 each tomorrow, Christmas Eve, at 3pm EST.
Yes, it has been quite awhile since an autographed card was offered. More have been offered in the catalog this year than new ones and we all know why. With 10% nationwide unemployment, etopps ain’t dumb, realizing that autographed cards just like other collectibles is all about disposable income that’s one of the first and last things to be affected by the economy.
Nevertheless it’s nice to see a 2001 card being offered and it’s a rookie and it’s for a player we are familiar with thanks to Peyton Manning. The Colts seem unstoppable so all of these factors help this card’s current value.
At a penny shy of $30, it’s nicely undervalued. You may be able to double your money if the card arrives in your mailbox if the Colts are in the Super Bowl or if they win the Super Bowl.
Looking at the sales of other autographed 2001 cards of Reggie Wayne, it looks like most of them are in the $60-$70 range except for the graded ones. They fetch a lot higher and you could probably score at least $100 if you wait it out and have BGS inspect the auto. The downside to any grading is the time it takes. Some have the patience for this while others do not.
For the collector, you couldn’t ask for a better Christmas present from etopps if you like Reggie Wayne or if you’re a Colts fan, a fan of the 2001 etopps Football set or just like etopps autographs. At $30, etopps deserves kudos for this price. They know there are potential buyers of this card who have already spent a lot of saved-up coin for holiday shopping.
What’s also nice is how Mr. Wayne signed the card. While others may have just scribbled their initials and jersey number, it’s easy to see he wrote his full name. What’s also nice is he signed his name in the top left corner without touching the foreground image of his head or his body in the background picture.
Overall it’s nice to see more autographs from etopps and nice to review them once again. For the collector, you couldn’t ask for a better opportunity and for the seller, patience is the key to make a better profit on this.

While the Blogger’s score of 4 correct made many eligible to Beat the Blogger,
it was Lance Greathouse’s score of 9 that took home the prize on a week full
of upsets. Thanks to all that played and thanks for recruiting some newcomers as well.
Let’s try and do the same this week and get a record turnout and with this week’s
winner being a first-timer, it just shows how easy it is to Beat the Blogger and
win.
With the number of weekly participants slipping a bit the last few weeks I’m making
a call to action to all of our regulars to do some recruiting. While more people
means more work for the Blogger and more people for the Blogger to go up against,
I welcome the challenge and offer this challenge to you: If each player can recruit
10 new players and we can boost the total to 200 or more, I’ll triple the weekly prize.
So spread the word about the contest to all your co-workers, family and friends
and meet that goal and boost the prize.
Copy and paste our link and send it to your friends so they can be a part of the action, http://blog.tuffstuff.com/7thinning/
This week’s winners are posted below and this week’s matchups will be posted
on Wednesday a.m. so make sure you get your picks posted before the start of the first
game to be eligible to win this week’s prize. As always, good luck.
While I enjoy giving prizes to several people vs. having just one weekly winner, from
this point forward contestants will be asked to provide a tie-breaker on the week’s
last game so we narrow our winner down to one. Contestants will now b
e
asked to predict the total score from the last game on the list and the closest to
the actual score will be deemed the winner). I’ll also require contestants
to post their e-mail address with their picks so I can track down the winners
easier.
For those unfamiliar with the Beat the Blogger contest, the idea is simple.
The Blogger posts 10 matchups each week and then selects his choices for the winners
of those matchups. Contestants enter the Beat the Blogger contest by clicking on
the “Comment” section below the post with the matchups and then select their
own 10 winners. You can also designate one of your picks as a “Doubler” and
you will receive an extra point if you’re correct so don’t forget to designate your
“Doubler” pick and increase your chances of winning. If you Beat The Blogger’s
total and post the high score for the week, you win. The regular weekly
prize is an authentic signed 8-by-10 color photo of stars such as LaDainian
Tomlinson, Drew Brees, Marshall Faulk, Santonio Holmes, Gale Sayers, Catfish
Hunter and many more. From time to time, the Blogger will sweeten the pot for
the weekly contest so look for special prize packages.
This week’s matchups (with winning picks in parenthesis)
Saturday, Dec. 20
NFL Football
Dallas at New Orleans (Dallas)
Sunday, Dec. 21
Miami at Tennessee (Tennessee)
Cleveland at Kansas City (Cleveland)
Atlanta at NY Jets (Atlanta)

There hasn’t been nearly as much Josh Hamilton news this off-season as there was last season, probably a result of the disappointing season he had on the field, and the fact that he isn’t the ‘hot new story’ now. My card pickups have also slowed down a little bit in the leadup to Christmas, as [...]

All it took was 8 short days for this baseball card to make a trip from Florida to California and then back to Florida.
And along the way, it stopped off to visit the 1981 Rookie of the Year and Cy Young award winner! And before heading home, ‘El Toro’ signed the card beautifully.
I have always been [...]

I consider Jim Thorpe to be the Babe Ruth of football. Its been almost 5 years since I opened up that pack of 2003 Leaf Limited and pulled a 2 color piece of jacket limited to only 25 copies. Back in 2003, Donruss/Playoff purchased a jacket/sweater once worn by Thorpe so they could cut it [...]

1989 Fleer Superstar Special Honoring Darryl Strawberry
It could be argued that these two guys had the prettiest left-handed swings in baseball back in 1989.
Darryl Strawberry and Will ‘The Thrill’ Clark were both enormously talented players and it is fitting that Fleer created a card celebrating them in their 1989 set.
This ‘Superstar Special’ is titled ‘Home [...]
