Why go after this autograph: This was one of those customs I decided to send out and I like how the card looks, but will definitely use less black in the picture as his signature is obscured by all the black in the card. Buster is having himself a fantastic first season and at some point should get the call to the show later this season. He won the Golden Spikes award 2 years ago and demanded big dollars to sign. He got the money and is proving he was worth it. He is a powerful hitter and 0.280/25/85 seasons should become the norm for him. This is the second autograph I got back from him this year. I also was able to get his TTM through Spring Training.
Any Current Certified Autographs Available: There are many out there and I have seen them as low as $10 – $15 and as high as $150 depending on the size of the print run. I don’t think you have seen the ceiling of the value of his cards yet.
Sweet auto. I saw this guy in spring training, and he was going out of his way to sign for as many people as possible. Of course, I was on the other side of the field taking pictures and didn’t get any.
Also – thanks for the Pronk card!!
[...] At Fresno he only had 151 at bats, but made the most of them as he went 0.321/5/22. He has little else to prove in the minors and is ready to take over as catcher for the Giants. Big things were expected out of Posey who got a 5+ million dollar signing bonus on deadline day last year. His senior year at Florida State, he hit a whopping 0.463/26/93 in just 257 at bats. He has shown great power and the ability to get hits in crunch time. He is also a very nice through the mail signer as well . [...]
Great looking card and very promising catcher
