Yeah these Trump Apprentice signature cards are the exception that proves the rule. They were never common cards because Trump was the best signer in the product, but the product was dead. Now as the sitting US President they have taken off despite the fact that Trump autographs prior to 2016 were not scarce.

Scarcity is an interesting thing. . . In our little hobby things don't seem scarce. . . For example Trump autographs, or Meghan Markle autographs. Once the rest of the world has interest things change very quickly. How many Trump Apprentice autographs were signed? 500? Less? If there were 500 made that equates to 10 copies per US state.

Correct, I forgot about Pop Century because so many odd names get wrapped up into that one. What is Ali, those presidential card sets? I never saw them in person either.

One of the Comic Images autos sold for $ 938 on ebay on Nov 22

Wow !

Dang!

I see Pop Century autos recently sold for $1300 and $1500!

This one sold for almost $ 1400

This one was graded high. Just a matter of time before we see many more graded non-sport cards for the top tier. It's a way to add more money to the ceiling, even as grading itself comes under greater suspicion. Go figure.

No matter what you think of him, his attention meter has been pegged on 11 since the campaign. I wouldn't even consider these until after he is out of office.

This auto just sold for $ 1000.

Yeah that description alone is enough to send me running the other way. Thanks but no thanks. I'll just keep my money.

That's just dumb, unless the idea is to keep it sealed and hope you can find someone dumber that thinks its an investment.

If you want Trump's signature card save up some more and buy it outright. Odds are you are spending $500 on a box that contains Carolyn, or Bill, or Kendra, or George or whoever else is worth $2. There is absolutely nothing in that whole set besides Trump's autograph and maybe his tie books for something, but $500 is too much money to throw away on a long shot.

And Trump's autograph is not that rare. He has signed plenty in his personal life prior to being President and can of course continue to sign no matter what happens.
