Jennifer Love Hewitt Goodwin Champions Auto -- 305489165385 -- $245.

I believe that's the most this autograph ever sold for. One sold in January for $175.

Hayley Atwell Agent Carter SSR-HA autograph sold for $305. 235493225167

This is the horizontal card with the black and white photo. I thought this price was insane as the last time I paid attention to these they were selling for about $150, and since then there have been a PILE of Atwell autographs released in other Marvel sets as well as various Leaf sets. Then I checked on Terapeak and see one of these sold last month for $405.

I'm so mad at myself for not picking this up when it was less than $20.

Why? At the time you didn't think it was worth $20. It's certainly not worth $300 now. Big Grin

What I mean is, the only valid reason for regret at not buying a card would be if you missed out on selling it for a good profit. That's about business, not card collecting. I have passed on so many autograph cards because I thought they cost too much, only to see some of them triple in price. So what? They weren't worth it then; I have no idea who thinks they're worth it now.

Everybody wants a good collection and it's nice to have cards that increase in value, but that increase is only on paper until you let go of the cards. But then you don't have the collection. Wink

I think the increase is a result of Favreau's current popularity in the Star Wars universe given his creation of "The Mandalorian" TV series and his directing the highly anticipated upcoming movie spin-off of it.

I held both Favreaus (from Iron Man 1 & 2) from boxes I got when the both sets were new until a little over 3 years ago when I saw they'd greatly increased in value, so I sold them, one after another. I got a little under $300 combined, so I actually should have kept them a little longer.

Still, not bad considering the Iron Man 1 version came from a full case that also had the Robert Downey Jr. and the IM2 one came from a $40 box that would've also held a couple of decent sketch cards.

"Iron Man" kicked off the MCU in a big way, and "Mandalorian" is rightfully well-received, but the reason I held the autographs as long as I did was because I dug him in "Swingers". Turns out he was money, baby.

A Downey Jr as Iron Man sold for $4999 (364808644748) -- I think that is in line with previous sales.

Hugh Jackman as Wolverine (235493233607) $1450. I haven't watched this one recently, but my last notes from a couple of years ago were at $750.

Favreau, Downey Jr, and Jackman have all signed for relatively few Marvel sets (not sure about Star Wars), and are all from the early MCU releases that were wildly popular.

I've seen a bunch of Marvel auctions in the last couple of days. The prices in general are decent, but I'm seeing a lot more variation now with pricing differences across sets -- I.E. the Atwell auto above. Also I'm seeing some softness in autographs from people who have autographs in a ton of sets.

Jeremy Renner is a good example. In the last couple of days I've seen Renner autos sell from $57 (CAP Civil War) to $173 (Black Diamond).

Looked at completed Favreau's trying to see if he signed for Star Wars (I didn't see any), but was surprised to actually see 4 completed sales:

Iron Man 2: $306
Iron Man 3: $308
Iron Man 2: $261 (Graded PSA 8, wondering if that hurt the price).
Iron Man 2: $422

For some reason "Swingers" is a much better-remembered movie than "Made," which I liked a little more.

Yeah, you can drive yourself crazy thinking about what you passed up on. Maybe 25 years ago, I was offered a Biosphere sell sheet with promos still rubber-cemented to it for $15 in a local shop. For whatever reason, I passed. I guess it wasn't a priority at the time. Now, it would've been nice to have that even just as a partial set.

I try to think about the cards I did pick up at a great price and still have. But yeah, damn.

All I knew him from at the time was Iron Man. I like Iron Man enough, and thought it was cool the director signed, but I stupidly kept hoping I'd find one for $10 since it was regularly like $20. Fast-forward to now and everything he's accomplished in Star Wars... it's just the one that got away.

2018 UD Marvel Agent Carter Griffith Hotel Guest Book Auto Hayley Atwell $247. 235493250255

Last time I looked at these Atwells they were selling for $150. One of her brand new Dr. Strange Multiverse of Madness autos sold tonight for $113.

The Agent Carter autographs were ePack exclusive so I wonder if that is impacting the pricing.

Harry Potter 3d Series 2 Autographs:

Daniel Ratcliffe: $1525 135186775464
Emma Watson: $4050 355942072116
Rupert Grint: $600 135186773811

I don't follow many Harry Potter autographs, but these were actual auctions so I put them in my watch list.

I noted another Spongebob sketch sold -- in this one he is looking right, which seems less common. It sold for $999 296232721106.

Perhaps more surprising was that 2 of the sponge chase cards sold for around $200 each.

$200 116233842945
$205.50 116226676848

I don't get this. If you had contacted the artist he would have done you a spongebob sketch of equal quality for a fraction of the price so are people not paying for the sketch but for the card.

Those were found pretty easily at a rate of 1 per every 12 packs, so they aren't necessarily rare, but perhaps in a pinch, people were using them as actual sponges for cleaning up 'n such.

From another animated series, The Simpsons, the Dupe Dipkin promo card found in copies of Simpsons Comics #4 is now a reliable seller at $50+, even though the comic, from about 30 years ago, was printed in large numbers and was available at or near cover price for decades.

It was originally created as a sendup of an actual baseball card from a few years earlier where a dirty word was visible on the knob of a player's bat. While that card has always been popular with collectors, this year, a young rookie from the same team was featured on an homage to the original baseball card (with the word "funface" replacing the original expletive on the bat knob). That card is very valuable and this has apparently brought out still more buyers for the Simpsons parody card which was actually one of 6 cards in a set. You needed to buy 6 different comics to get them all. There was a time when I would get sets of those comics for around $10 and sell just the 6 card sets for $30 or so.

Those days are gone.

Likewise the Spongebob sketches at the time were not expensive. Looking at my eBay purchases I bought a handful of them for under $20 each. They were somewhat hard to find as I think they were retail only.

A 2003 Disney Treasures (Upper Deck) Mickey Mouse sketch card limited to 10, with an asking price of $ 10,000 sold on ebay

Wow, that's far and away the highest entry in a completed items Ebay search with the words "sketch card" in the title. Even though it sold for less than 10k, it definitely sold for MORE than 5k, since the next card on the top sales list, a Star Wars Artist Proof sketch from popular artist Angel Aviles, sold for $4,999.

Those Disney Treasures series 1 sketches are particularly tough, and each artist was asked to do one Mickey as part of their very small batches, which makes that one a little more valuable, but I think any Disney Treasures sketch now would sell for $1,000 minimum, even the simpler ones.

I wonder what some of these (Series 2 cards from Lisa Temming) would sell for at this point:



Not mine, of course. I just saved the picture from a long time ago, and like looking at 'em.

For series 2, the artists were asked to draw a Donald Duck in their set, and (Donald Duck voice): Oh boy, that one's a doozy!

Can someone please save the image of the Mickey sketch and post it here before it disappears?
