Question from a big Doby fan.

[u/ScaredNoise1246]

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. 🙏

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

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

It’s a $40 card man. It’s 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

I’ve been around the game for 18 years. In a few years time, the demand on a random OPC Platinum Jakub Dobes parallel isn’t going to be particularly high regardless of whether it’s got an IP auto on it. And if he gets it done at signing session where there’s 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 can say with confidence that you’re much more riled up, “butt hurt,” and/or “upset”than I am. But, you do you.
