Looking for some Ginter expertise about the 2015 Anniversary set

Daddo333 · 05-03-2022, 12:46 PM

Interesting research project here and I could use some help from other Ginter Nuts.

In 2015, Topps released Buybacks Autographs of the following players. All were numbered to /10. I'm wondering a few questions:

Did each subject only sign 10 cards from one year? If so, which year was it? Or multiple years?

There is no official checklist of years signed so I'm going only off of what I've found in the wild. I added some info that I know to be true after a couple of the players but would love your thoughts here if you can help.

Thanks!
Jason

Hi Jason, I know you didn't ask, but there is also a set of non-sports Ginter autos #/10 in 2015. I pulled a Hulk Hogan. I don't believe it's a buyback at all, but was just made in the style of a year (2014 in my card's case.) Beckett actually lists 10 autos for each style of year from 2006 through 2015 for the non-sports figures. Hogan's only real auto was from 2006 before that. But the players probably had a different set of rules. I don't think I've ever seen one of a player in person.

I have a Posey buyback it is a 2011 ginter card. I also have a 1/1 of Coghlan and that is a 2010 card.

Hey there! Thanks for the info. Yes, tracking those too but those are more straightforward as each of them signed 1 card from each of the 10 years of Ginter up to that point. Which is pretty cool! I'm still missing two of them for the set; Kerri Strug and Greg Louganis.

Thank you! Very helpful info. I'll add to the top.

The 1/1 is really interesting too. Those don't show up anywhere in the checklist but I've seen a couple of them as well. There are also "autograph buybacks" that are /10 without a player checklist. The mystery is fun! Mostly.

Those sound like it's from the Archives Signature Series product

Congrats on the progress.

vwnut13 · 03-08-2023, 09:13 PM

It looks like the 1/1 are all cards that were originally pack certified autos.

Did you buy the Kershaw, or do you happen to have a photo of it? I didn't know this existed. I have the 2015 Stamped 2008 RC but didn't know he had an auto in the set.

Daddo333 · 05-03-2023, 01:40 PM

Adding Mariano Rivera for 2008!
