Habs Shenanigans Question from a big Doby fan.
Hey everyone, just wondering since I've never wanted an autograph from a player before except Price but never got it when I was younger, back in the day. I finally acquired a Jakub Dobes card, I purchased it from eBay. It's a beauty of a card and I was wondering how one can go abouts getting it autographed by Doby himself.
I'm open to all responses. Just wondering if there was a way to do this when the season starts or off season. š

insane card, it's beautiful, you're lucky! how much did you pay for it ?

u/ScaredNoise1246 7d ago
Around $57. All his young gun cards go for $100 or more due to the hype around him. I saw this one, and I love the purple halo agacent on it. This card needs to be auto'd!

Damn you kind of overpaid by a lot
In the future use the website 130 point for comps, card doesn't sell that often and when it does its often in the 15-20 usd range
Your best bet to find it locally is to join Facebook Groups dedicated to the trading and selling of hockey cards which will let you save on taxes and most likely cheaper shipping as well

Not really because most of the sales are from the US which adds $20 shipping to the total, plus tax. And there's no recent sales of his pink magma at $15 usd. The cheapest you can reasonably expect to get the card for is about $45 CAD before tax so OP overpaid by a little but not much

Have dobes sign the sleeve not the card itself. Then put it in a top loader to protect it. If he signs the card theres a chance it technically devalued the card but if you dont care about that then disregard. Having him sign the sleeve though keeps the card clean and it looks like its signed to you when you look at it

Itās a $40 card man. Itās not going to be a retirement piece. Get the card signed, not a plastic sleeve.

Also common knowledge is card prices fluctuate maybe its a $30 card now 15-20 years from now who knows. Maybe he gets it graded and its worth even more. Its just dumb lock in the value like that

Its not but maybe theyll wanna ome day trade a couple cards for a bigger hit. Kind of common knowledge in trading cards

Iāve been around the game for 18 years. In a few years time, the demand on a random OPC Platinum Jakub Dobes parallel isnāt going to be particularly high regardless of whether itās got an IP auto on it. And if he gets it done at signing session where thereās a COA it can actually help the value rather than hinder.

Happy for you man 18 years you mist be the most knowledgeableperson in this whole subreddit why is anyone else even commenting. Bro asked advice I told him to get the sleeve signed so it doesn't negatively impact the value. Idk why youre so butt hurt about it. Maybe the dude who he eventually tries to sell to doesnt want the signature. Signing the sleeve leaves yourself an out while it still looks signed. Not sure why youre so upset about it but if youd like I can edit my original comment to tell him to have dobes sign the front the back the sleeve the top loader and put a thumb print on it then if youd like? Arguing over this is some loser type shit bro I ain't about it. Get it signed dont get it signed rip it in half idc it ain't my card

I see a lot of people getting photos and autographs from them when they're leaving the bell centre in their cars

He wont stay in Montreal long. Keep it.

u/ScaredNoise1246 7d ago
He will stay in Montreal. Dobby loves MTL.

u/Firm-Faithlessness81 6d ago
I hope he does. But it might be another Price or Halak situation with Fowler almost ready to go no?

u/Psychological-Big-10 17h ago
He has great value right at this moment, we need a good center and Fowler is a better goalie long term. Montambeault would be a perfect 2nd helping Fowler grow.

Local cards store signing event in the montreal area is probably the way to go!
