What a cool card, wonder how high it will go.

 

[WoobieZarz]

I'm actually shocked at how cheap it is right now. Early stages I know, but I mean THIS IS IT!! Rarer than an Michael Jordan RC Auto!

 

[gemini0928]

THAT is a Basketball MEMORABILIA!!!

It will be nice to have on anyone's collection but I would think that that one will go very expensive...

 

[jimboiitmac]

that is amazing right there, the man who made it all

 

[JZA]

the holy grail of basketball autos....wow.

Im thinking two things here: either it will stay low and wont go for heaps, due to the fact naismith wasnt an NBA baller and most collectors probably wouldnt have a clue who he is.

or some of the REAL basketball purists will just go nuts and battle each other and push it into the thousands. if i had the money id be one those guys. my PC just aint complete without an auto of the guy who started it all.

 

[nandalinnaung]

it will definitely go higher...

this guy is a genius.... at least, this should go 5g..

 

[Funkadelic]

Looks good! Would look better if the numbering was printed/stamped. I'm thinking maybe UD didn't know how many of the cuts they'd eventually get?

Speaking of 'mother of all cut signature cards' has anybody else seen a pic of the Mother Theresa cut sig, it was pulled at the National Card Show a couple of weeks ago? I think it was inscribed 'God Bless You.'

 

[JZA]

now we're cooking! over the 1 grand mark with 5 1/2 days to go.

I'm taking your option 1....

True that, although I rkn it looks heaps good with the sharpie.

Makes it look old school, like good old James

Einstein was a genius......this guy just invented a game !!!
I gotta say, I love basketball and how it came about but this card does nothing for me !

I can see why some people would love to own it though

 

[WoobieZarz]

Some would call him a genious Richo, without him, there's a possibility that we wouldnt even have heard of a guy called Michael Jordan, or another other Basketball Superstar.

There's also the chance that someone else could have invented it at some stage....

But I'd call it a serious investors card that one.

Richo,

haha love ur comment..
if this is, of course physics forum or electromagnetic website, i would say absolutely..

With the idea of playing indoor competitive ball while north America weather is 9/12 months cold in early 20 century, he made basketball game happened, he is a genius...to me.. :v:


at least, u won't be collecting Duhon if he never invented the game...

for me, Appreciation is a good for the soul.. even i can't imagine to own his auto....

In a point of view of hobby, a person who invented the game we love, he should be credited and worth something, since he's already dead long long time ago.....

I think that's what our hobbies are all about..... we value what we love...

 

[Richo]

Agreed Mavs......that is some serious "Investors Card"
I like it due to it's originality but it doesn't do it for me like a Jordan AU (lol).

For me a genius is a person of great intelligence, who shows an exceptional natural capacity of intellect so He STILL aint no genius (IMHO)

That being said, you gotta love what he invented

That's a pretty average looking card for such a good autograph.

Also, that listing is terrible. They're going to lose cash because of how crap it is.

 

[theflyinggerco]

sweet card; ordinary looking design, but hey its a Naismith auto.

I reckon its going to hit over 4 grand, but they should have highlighted the auction, cos nobody would be looking for Naismith card on eBay.

 

[Vince]

now that's an auto card to have..... although the design isn't anything out of this world, but a James Naismith auto in anyones PC would be just amazing !!!
