Whats the story behind these?

[golgo13]

I see these auto 8x10’s were issued by BAP and Im assuming these were from the earlier 2000’s. Can anyone give me background info on these? Like, did BAP sell them induvidually? Was it a bonus for buying a case or sonething? Thanks in adavance,

Chris

BAP Authentix sold autographed pictures, jerseys etc. I think there might have been some connection to ITG when they were licensed.

I know they did a redemption program with I believe 02-03 BAP Signature Series, where if you collected so many points (I think it was 500 or 1000 or something) you could redeem them for a special autographed piece, whether it was an 8x10 or jersey or something. I got an Olaf Kolzig autographed jersey.

Now that sounds like a sweet jersey.

Thanks for all your feedback fellas, now my next question. Is it worth $38.50 delivered? I dont collect anything else except cards FYI other than the 1 gamer I own. I see a couple other 8 x 10’s that I wouldnt touch wether its because of a mediocore photo or autograph.

UPDATE: I just hit the BIN.....I like the crisp photo used and his old style autograph is real sharp. This ones been on my watch list for a long time, seller only recently dropped his asking price more than half his original. I see a recent sale in January with a sloppy autograph and a sub par photo IMHO that sold around the same price.....Now, I need to find his 2001-02 Bowman YoungStars Autograph Puck.

Does anyone know what year this 8x10 was released?

If it's a limited photo release or something similar in a sense, then I would say you made the right choice in going for it. Congrats! Makes for a great extra additions to your PC.

I'm the same way with photos usually, and I don't touch them. But a few times I have if the item is really unique, even if it's not a card.

You are correct! In packs of 02-03 BAP Signature Series, there were points cards, if I remember correctly. There was a list of players (8X10's) on their site, and once you had enough points for the player you wanted, you sent it in, and they sent you the signed photo. I remember that was all I could muster, but if there were bigger prizes like a jersey, I never saved anywhere near enough points. It took me a while to get enough, and when I finally did, I was only able to get the Shanahan picture, which I still have, as the best ones went first. If not mistaken, there were 50 of each, but that is only a foggy memory on my part. Could have been only 25 of each?

I remember those cards. I remember they had like extremely rare 100 point cards, and those went for a pretty penny on ebay. I got the vast majority of my points from ebay at the time, and it wasn't cheap from what I can remember.
