| Priceless Ink: The Factors Behind Sky-High Autograph Prices | 06 Nov 2024 | 00:17:42 | |
Ever wondered why some autographs carry eye-popping price tags? In this episode, we dive into the fascinating world of autograph pricing and reveal why a signature from legends like Tom Brady or Shohei Ohtani can cost a fortune. It’s not as simple as just the athlete’s fame – the final price is often shaped by a mix of athlete contracts, signing demand, competition among memorabilia companies, and even event logistics. We’ll uncover who really sets the price, and why it’s not usually the athlete deciding. Instead, companies negotiate huge contracts with top athletes, setting prices to balance demand, time, and exclusivity. We’ll also explore how some athletes, like Hall of Famers who sign more frequently, offer affordable options, while others command a premium because of their limited availability or post-championship timing. Join us as we break down the hidden factors behind high autograph costs, including how the timing of a signing, public appearances, and even holiday gift-giving season all impact the price collectors pay. From high-demand names to practical limits on autograph sessions, discover why the most coveted autographs come with a hefty price tag – and why, even if prices dropped, the demand might be impossible to meet. | |||

| Learn the Secret How To CORRECTLY Prep Sports Cards for an Autograph Signing in Under 1 Minute | 21 Mar 2022 | 00:05:32 | |
We all want to get the best possible autograph on our sports card. Ever get a card back from a signing and think WTF happened? The ink looks like it didn't dry in the place it went onto the card or has holes in it. Streaks everywhere. I know we all want to blame the autograph promoter for the bad autograph, but often times, it has to do with the crappy surface of the card, especially with modern cards such as Prizm and Chrome and their glossy surface. If a card’s surface doesn’t have anything for the ink to stick to, its hard to get a good quality autograph. So how do we fix this? https://www.instagram.com/powersautographs/ https://www.facebook.com/PowersCollectibles/ http://www.youtube.com/c/PowersSportsMemorabilia https://powerssportsmemorabilia.com/blogs/news https://powerssportsmemorabilia.com/pages/upcoming-autograph-signings | |||

| Best Autograph Authentication in Sports? Why you NEED This COA in Your Collection | 25 Dec 2021 | 00:10:50 | |
Why is MLB authentication the best in the baseball memorabilia industry? 5 reasons I believe this to be true. #1. It is ran by one of the world’s best leagues. Anything associated with the MLB brand you better believe they will do anything and everything to ensure it’s authenticity and accuracy. #2. It is a witness authentication hologram, meaning a representative from MLB was present for the autograph signing and witnessed the player signing your item. MLB is not an autograph authentication company like JSA where you can send them items to authenticate. They strictly witness the signings. #3. Their online database is easy to verify authenticity. Simply type in the code on your item and it will state the item and date it was signed. While inaccuracies do occasionally occur, their database is very accurate. #4. Their authentication isn’t available to everyone. Certain companies such as Fanatics have a license to use the authentication program. Makes it a bit more rare and sought after. #5. They also authenticate game used items they witness at the ballpark. If you ever want to get your game used MLB authenticated item signed, you can have an athlete inscribe Game Used on it. Whereas, if you had an item without the authentication getting an athlete to write Game Used on it can be challenging. https://www.instagram.com/powersautographs/ https://www.facebook.com/PowersCollectibles/ http://www.youtube.com/c/PowersSportsMemorabilia https://powerssportsmemorabilia.com/blogs/news https://powerssportsmemorabilia.com/pages/upcoming-autograph-signings https://m.soundcloud.com/user-8093983 http://powerssportsmemorabilia.buzzsprout.com/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC69xclE3IiuXAcerRZTbn9A?view_as=subscriber?sub_confirmation=1 | |||

Still, when someone is as big a name as Jordan is, it becomes too easy to tunnel in on the expensive items. The jerseys, basketballs, autographed items. The 1986 Fleer card. They are amazing items to have, but are they the only thing worth paying for in regards to this idle? I would argue, ABSOLUTELY NOT!

| Is PSA Grading Sports Cards Tougher in 2021? Watch Before You Ship Off Your Next Submission | PSM | 03 Jun 2021 | 00:10:48 | |
Well, it finally happened the other day. I got some of my submitted cards back from PSA, and I have to say I was a bit shocked. By a significant amount, I had been graded more PSA 9s than 10s.
