What you're looking at is a 2009 Press Pass Gold Inscription "Autograph" of B.J. Raji. First off, there is not autograph on this card, it's just an inscription. I wrote about this same issue last week when I posted about the 2009 SPX Rookie Exchange Colby Rasmus rookie card. I'm not a fan of this and I hope it's not a trend. I just don't see the value in a player writing a couple words on a card (or sticker). I'd much rather have the autograph of the player.OK, in case it wasn't painfully obvious at first sight, look at the inscription on the card again. Raji wrote "Sore Eagles" instead of "Soar Eagles" on the card. All the guy had to do is write two words and he messed it up. I wonder what his Wonderlic score was? There are 99 of these cards out there. I wonder how many of them are misspelled? Will this become a collectors item because of the spelling mistake?
Here's the crazy part, the card is at $180.05 on eBay with just over an hour left. I would LOVE to talk to the person that purchases this card to see why they purchased it.

WOW. THAT GUY IS A MILLIONAIRE AND I'M A WORKING CLASS HERO.
ReplyDeleteMaybe it was after a big workout and he was being literal? Oh well, at least Pat White didn't write GO EARS!
