For Baseball card collectors: I have a nolan ryan card?

Question

It has a brand name that is called triad, and it is has a whataburger and a coke logo on the back, it is to commemorate the 3rd of nolan ryan's no hitters and is part of a set, but it is the only card in this set that i have. It is also autographed, and i am almost positive that it is authentic. I stumbled across it a little while back, and am wondering about how much it is worth

Answer 1

My suggestion would be to check Beckett's online website, sometimes you can find a listing for rare, one-time print cards and other references for autographed memorabilia.

Otherwise I'd find a couple of card collectors/sports memorabilia collectors in your area and check with them. One or more of them might try to weasel you so make sure you check around a little bit before you accept anyone's offering price.

It might not hurt to see if you can find someone who does appraisals on rare or collector's items.

Hope that helps.

Answer 2

Nolan Ryan Autographed Card

Answer 3

This card is from a 1993 Whataburger set produced by Triad. there are 10 cards in the set with each card being worth about 50 cents each. There is a set for sale on ebay at the link below.

Now about the autograph. The set shown at ebay does not have any autographs. So, it may indeed be legit. The best thing to do is find a authenticator to make sure. Another way may be to seach ebay for nolan ryan autographs, make sure they are certified ones and compare to see if they are similar. If they are similar, I would definatley get it authenticated. An estimate would be around 50$, now thats just a guess.

Answer 4

Triad is not a regular brand.......What you have might not be a licensed MLB card.........With the Coke logo it was probably packed in with a 6 pack of Coke or something along those lines as a promotion piece...........

Without authentication from a known company like PSA you have no way of knowing if the signature is authentic and my guess is that it's a (please pardon my spelling on this next word) facsimilie signature and not a real one........You'll never find that card listed in Beckett or even Tuff Stuff........

I collected cards for many years and had literally thousands of sets........I've written articles for both Beckett and Tuff Stuff so what I'm saying isn't just guesswork.........I would be happy to try to get you more information on the card, if it's possible, via my website............CAT (Sandi)

Answer 5

It's worth about $6.00. Yet you better double check if that autograph is real or not. If it's real, what your have is worth a lot more. To get a more better understanding how much it's worth put it on e-bay and see how much folks are willing to pay for it. That's the true test of worth.

Answer 6

well what you should do is reseacrh to see if your card is worth anything and then you should see an expert to verify whether or not the autograph is authentic or not and then you can check out ebay or whatever particular site you want to see how much you can get for it anyway good luck with everything

Answer 7

Beckett

Answer 8

I would guess it is worth a lot, especially with his autograph. Hang onto it and it will continue to increase in value.

Answer 10

It depends on what condition it is in. If it is in near mint condition, then about $100.
