Do you think the TT Private Signings/Rookie Recruit White Leather Cards will fade?

WizFan · 05-26-2010, 11:46 PM

These are nice looking cards. I have one and would like to pick up some more, just wanted to get some opinions on whether or not you guys think they will fade tremendously over time?

Here is a link to an auction with a pic of what they look like:

I think so, but I think the bigger worry is not getting it smudged.

Most auto's fade somewhat overtime so I don't see why these won't.

I guess I should say that I'm most worried they may fade rapidly like some of the early Sweet Spot autos have, due to the surface of the autograph area.

They will probably fade faster than on-card and sticker autographs.. Yes.. Even if kept in dark areas. I think the texture is probably going to be the cause why these fade quicker than most, like the sweet spot autographs.

Now how much faster, I'm not sure. It would still take awhile.

Thanks for the responses! I've been wanting to assemble a nice basketball auto set for some time and thought the Private Signings or Rookie Recruits would make a nice looking set. I just don't want to end up with a ton of blank white ball cards in a few years.

i see them being just as bad as sweetspot baseball autos were. the companies need to learn that permanent marker doesn't last on leather
