Often times these are extremely limited print runs and the red ink usually stands out on the cards that Topps chooses. I have 3 red ink autographs in my collection.
The oldest red ink autograph in my collection goes back to Cutch's draft year, 2005. The 2005 Bowman Heritage cards were made to resemble 1951 Bowman in a more modern twist.
Moving on from Bowman Heritage to Topps Heritage is the 2012 Topps Heritage red ink numbered to 63 copies.
We close out with my favorite red ink autograph, 2012 Topps Allen & Ginter limited to only 10 copies.
Do you have any red ink autographs in your collection?
Nice collection of red ink autos. I pulled one of Barney Schultz (Cardinals pitcher from the 60's) out of a 2014 Heritage blaster. That's the only one I can think of right now.
ReplyDeleteNo. I don't think I do. I think the few I have are in black or actually maybe more predominantly blue.
ReplyDeleteYou sent me a Tino Red Ink auto before!
ReplyDeleteI pulled a Red Ink Freddie Freeman from Heritage a couple of years ago, and sold it because we needed cash.
ReplyDeleteI don't have a single auto signed in red ink, even counting cards signed after release (in person and such). Perhaps the next time I go to a signing I should bring a red Sharpie.
