OPC Buyback Auto Question

[JohnnyDrama]

Is there print run on these anywhere? Are these hand-numbered like a lot of buyback's seem to be? Any help would be great. Thanks.

i was wondering the same thing...im also wondering since there are buyback autos of last years opc rookie cards does that mean the buyback rookie autos are no longer true rookies?

I have a Mason Raymond buyback and its not numbered at all.

Yeah, there are two JMFJ's up now and I didn't see numbering either. It's not going to stop me from getting one but it would still be nice to know how many are out there.

No numbering on my Stastnys either. Wonder if there is a print run...

I don't think anyone is going to consider them true rookies because they've effectively been defaced, but I also imagine people will consider the card they've signed when trying to determine a value.

There's no indication of print run or even SP status on the Upper Deck site.

My case yielded Pete Peters, from a 1990-91 OPC buyback. This isn't the only card he's signed. There's also multiples of Hawerchuk - 1989-90 and 1990-91. Pretty cool, frankly. To be dropping 1/case, and having 70 different guys AND assuming that last year's rookies are signing more than the veterans and retired players, there'd be between 25-50 of the them, with maybe 50-100 of the 2007-08 rookies.

Michael,
Thank you very much for your input. Nifty idea, but wanted to make sure I wasn't over-paying for something that could have a butt-load of copies.
