So what makes it a "1/1"??

DGCollectables · Oct 16, 2008

yes it is a 1/1 as it's serially numbered 1/3. all numbered cards are one of one as the numbering is different

Solid player selection!

Hi,
Thanks Westriot for clarifying the 1/1 querie, I just logged on now to answer this
question and I saw that you had already done so, regards to you.

I might add in a bit more info still too. What makes it a 1/1 is basically this, all cards
that are sequentially stamped have a few cards that are considered 1/1's. These are
the very first card produced(in this case #1/3), and the very last card (example #250/250),
and another situation where a card is considered a 1/1 is when the sequential numbering
matches with the depicted athletes Jersey number(example, this Jordan Jersey card I own pictured
below is considered a 1/1 because it is numbered to his jersey number #23/25). And I can't help but
also show-off my other card that is considered a 1/1 aswell because of being numbered to the players Jersey
number, its of Chris Paul card. His Jersey Number is #3 and you'll see this Patch Auto is sequentially
numbered #03/10, this is considered a 1-of-1)

I hope that help a bit more, please feel free to check out all my listings. I have scheduled
a few more new cards to go on later tonight.

The first number, last numbered, jersey numbered being considered 1/1 is really a matter of your opinion and whether or not you are trying to talk it up to get better money.

Unless a card is stamped 1/1, it really isn't 1/1.

Sorry hill33, no offence but why dont you just knock me out. LOL.

is that necessary???

Now I collect 1st and last numbered cards aswell as Jersey #'d cards!

and to me, they are 1/1 type cards (mainly jersey #'d) but when I sell these type of cards, in no way are they classed as 1/1's, as they simply are not!!!

Alistair · Oct 16, 2008

Well of course... it's numbered 1/3, and there is only one of these cards that are actually numbered 1/3, so I guess it's a 1/1

onparole · Oct 16, 2008

rhysjsolomon it was a joke mate. I added the "LOL" and the icon
to display it was in good humour. Where's your sense of humour...?? LOL:v:
That was a joke too huh, please. Obviously nobody knows me personally to know my
continuous sarcasim and sense of humour. But please believe me when I say every
comment I state followed by "LOL" or a funny icon is totally for a laugh and nothing personal, come on.

Back to the topic at hand about the 1/1 cards. Every individual has their own
opinion in regards to the whole first produced and last produced sequential
numbered cards being classified 1/1's, but I'm sure you know and I dont need to tell
you that 95% of card collectors would agree and say that #1/3(first) and #3/3(last)
printed cards are 1 of 1's.
I have some 1 of 1 cards I'm actually listing soon on my eBay account so whomever may
be interested be sure to check them out.

I personally wouldn't call this card a 1/1, but it clearly holds a special place for a number of collectors. But given that ebay takes no action against using 1/1 in a title or listing, and given that the title of an ebay auction is the main part of the auction advertisement, I don't see adding 1/1 there in this case as a real problem, even if I would probably not do it myself. I hate as much as anyone the difficulty in search for the genuine 1/1's on the bay (any tips anyone?), but nobody is going to bid on a card #ed/3 based solely on the fact that the title says 1/1...if they do it is there choice.

You haven't been here long enough to know I'm one of the big clowns around here, but that joke was terrible and not funny at all!!! S0 it didnt even seem like u were joking! Coz it didnt sound like a joke!

But good try! but oh well! I apologize for not seeing the funny side!

But the card is sweet and very nice! But on the selling side! it's not a 1/1!
its just 1st numbered!

I once listed my Lebron 23/25 patch with 1/1 in the title (yes, to get more interest!) and ebay stopped the auction because it wasn't a 1/1!

So I thought they did take action????

or has that changed?

Ebay do stuff? I'm sorry, I don't believe you.

Given I'm holding and interesting RJS 1/1 auto at the moment which, since it has 2x 1/1 hand drawn on it, I'm a tad unsure of it's authenticity...the whole subject is a bit confusing!

mate you need to get out more than......cause of the hundreds of people I have traded with plenty would say that 1/3 and 3/3 are the first and last card........that's it. Sure they are more valuable to some people (which is cool), and putting it in your title may help expose it more. But justifying it saying they really are classed as 1/1's and most people consider them as such is off the mark. Jersey #'d I can MAYBE see, but not first and last

onparole · Oct 16, 2008

Mate I get the feeling everybody is about to go to war over this whole issue with the
first and last cards numbered being considered to be 1-of-1's. LOL.
This shows that everybody is decided. My opinion is we're not saying IT IS A 1 OF 1,
but simply being the first one and the last one obviously means there is no other card like
it. You could turn around and say yeah but you could say that about every other card
because there would be no two cards of any other number either. Yeah fair enough.
Everybody understands the whole issue with the first and the last being a higher collectable
card compared to any other number though, you can't deny that. I have just listed a TRUE
1-of-1 card Dual auto which 1/1 machine stamping and nobody will argue this card.
But the thought and the visual appearance of the numbers is unique compared to all the
other sequential numbers in the set. The next best thing to an original genuine 1/1 card
would definetly be the player jersey number on the card being the same as the sequential
numbering, and then last the first and last cards are considered to be more sought after.
Because after this all the other sequential numbers mean nothing and have no extra
value for a collector.
So purely it is a marketing scheme to boost the advertising on the card, but it is a
worldwide fact that besides the jersey numbered card, the first and last cards are more sought after than any of the other numbered cards.
Now everybody please drop this topic, with every new post I see with an argument
or similar I think to myself, "Geez some people take their numbered cards EXTREMELY SERIOUS."
Now peace out, peace in, and peace off to all. Everybody please enjoy the rest of their
night/day where ever in the world you may be.
Kind Regards and God Bless

hahaha! no worries mate!!!

I get the serial numbered thing as my collection is basically just that!!! JERSEY #'D ANDRE IGUODALA cards!!!

I know the 1st/last and jersey #'d cards hold more interest and normally sell for a premium!!!

So everything is all good mate! Don't take it as a personal attack or anything ay! Just that they aren't really 1/1 cards and that putting 1/1 on the listing is purely for marketing and more as a scheme to boost interest!!! Which u said in your last post!!! So all is good mate!!! And welcome to the best card forum on the planet!

God bless

Peace :v:

DGCollectables · Oct 16, 2008

Exactly. Unless a card has 1 of 1 printed on it (refer example below if this is confusing), its simply 1 of however many were made.

I understand jersey# holds more value for collectors, and fair enough. These are of course 1 of however many were produced.

Dont really know anyone who thinks first or last # are all that special, but hey, each to their own.

PS: on the subject on incorrect Ebay listings Onparole, u might wanna review your estimates for the 88/99 Fleer MJ you have listed...
