Catfish Hunter

Got this out of a 3 cards for $10 box at the card show on Saturday. #'d to 50. The guys wife who was running the booth at the time had no idea who it was. Figured it had to be worth 1/3 of a $10 bill.

Do you know what the signature was cut from? I hate it when card companies do that but I am glad that you have the signature. I will post mine when I eventually purchase it.

Comment by Rick Meyer on September 25, 2012 at 7:34pm: Not sure Mike. Looks like it might be a colored page of an old program or something. Would be my guess. It isnt a photo. I do like how it has his name on whatever it was cut from. Not sure what its worth but figured it had to be worth alot more than they had it for. He was a favorite of mine when I was a kid just cause he had a cool nickname.

I'm home in AZ and remembered getting this years ago in a trade. Just wasn't sure I still had it so I dug through my junk. I think it is good. Just never had it looked at by a pro. I got this back while I was at Ft. Ord sometime between 92-94. What do you think of this one?

Comment by Mike Shepherd on September 26, 2012 at 8:24am: The signature looks good to me but I'm not an expert. Concerning the "cool nickname", I remember my first Yankees game back in what I believe was 1978. I asked my father who was pitching and he said "Catfish Hunter". I never forgot how cool that sounded. I may put him on my wish list for November now. I'll keep you posted.
