Magic Johnson

-
Winter time brings upon us good deals in the world of sports memorabilia.  If you follow the right Twitter accounts, or Facebook profiles, etc., you will always find reputable companies hosting upcoming signing events, or having flash deals.  This is always an opportune time to find some signed items that would not otherwise be as affordable.  As such, I noticed the OC Dugout was having an upcoming private signing with Magic Johnson, and thus were selling some items they obtained at a previous Johnson signing for much less than retail.  I ordered this 8x10 photo, which also was authenticated "in the presence" by Beckett.


Magic often has signings locally, and they are pretty much always private signings, so he isn't that hard to come by at all.  It keeps his prices and value down, but since I'm not in it to make money anyway I wanted to add him to the other Magic photo I had signed from 2012. I like the contrast of the dark background and him in the purple Lakers jersey.  If you want to check out the OC Dugout, click here. They do a lot of signings and are a company I used quite a bit, as you can see based on older posts.  Thanks for reading.

John Stockton

 One of the notoriously tough autographs to get among all modern era sports figures, I saw recently that John Stockton was going to be doing an ultra rare signing. After looking at the prices, I decided that they were on the pricey side, so instead looked into getting a card off eBay. It is often the case that signings are more expensive than getting an auto card from Panini or Topps, etc. because you can send in exactly what you want to get signed. I don't typically complain about pricing for signings, but I did observe that the cost to send in my own card was 4-5x what buying a John Stockton signed card off eBay would cost. Therefore, I found a fairly priced one and went that direction.  As you can see, I went with an Obsidian auto and this particular card is numbered /35.

John Elway

 My Hall of Fame and elite quarterback train is still steaming along, as I just added a signed John Elway card to my collection. This card comes from 2023 Prestige football, is numbered /25. I saw that a lot of people were having a lot of luck with their hits in Prestige megas in retail, though the few boxes I opened were crap. I jumped into the eBay market to get this card, as card prices have come down and you can get some of these all time greats for much less than even a year ago. Honestly, I bought this card for the price of two mega boxes, so I'm not sure what I'm even doing buying sealed product in the first place.

Joe Montana

 Much like the Dan Marino and John Elway autos I have posted about recently, I also acquired a Joe Montana Panini autographed card.  Like the Marino card, this is also a blue cracked ice numbered /75. Of the big name, all tike great QB's in the league, I believe the only one I might be missing still is Tom Brady. It might be a while yet before I find a way to get something he signed into my collection.
