It is the only one made in the world.

This is what it looks like now that it has been graded.

Santonio Holmes is the Superbowl MVP in case you don't know.

Well you should probably find out what it's worth!

There is no book price for cards that only have 25 or less made. I paid 1??.00 for it when I got it and it was not graded then as you can tell by the pics. Now I think it will pull close to 1000.00

Wow, congratulations Die!

How come that is the only one in the world?

I dont know if I would hold on to it and let the value grow or sell it right away with the Superbowl frenzy fresh in everyones minds.

It's a tough call, but I think I'd go for the sure thing and sell it now while it's hot.  He might eventualy be a hall of fame player of some sort and the card multiply in value, but he could also get a career ending injury next year making the card eventually worth less than what you bought it for.  In any case, it's unlikely he will be superbowl MVP again.

[Schlup]

Destro makes a good point...I believe I agree with him.  Although I would definitely put some feelers out to find out how much people are willing to pay for it.  I do think you being a huge fan of the Steelers and Santonio Holmes will cloud your judgement though and you will hold on the the card in hopes that he gets better or wins MVP again or goes to the Hall of Fame.  All of which are very risky bets.

I have already decided to sell it and will have a hefty reserve on it. The reason it is a 1/1 is because it is made from a printing plate that is used to make the card. There are 4 plates used to design/color the card and this is one of those 4 It is concidered a 1/1 because they only make 1 of each plate. You add that and the autograph and the pieces of jersey and that really ups the value. Here are a few others I have from that set and will be listing tonight or tomorrow. I also put in a few that are not a part of the set. Oh Schlup it is not real hard for me to get rid of any of the cards of him except that one because it is the only 1/1 I have ever had or held in my hands. As for the others I don't like him to be honest anyway. Destro will tell you that his rookie year pretty much sucked and because of that I was able to get his cards for a song, I only kept getting more of that set because I like the style of the set, not him.

Wow, so that isnt a card at all but a stamping plate that makes cards? I didnt know you could get those. Thats pretty amazing!

Yep and it has a jersey inserted behind and the plate laid over the top of the jersey and then the auto.

So any idea how much it might go for?  Have you talked to any dealers about it?  You have a ton of his cards...a few of his rookies as well.  How do you know you'll be selling it for the right price?

Schlup those are ALL rookies and several are now on eBay. I know roughly what they are worth except the printing plate as I have an online price guide through Beckett Media who is the most respected grader of cards. The problem is being a 1/1 noone will give it a price, not even Beckett.

[Destro]

Pretty sweet cards, sir.  Post the auction link.  I would like to watch it out of curiosity. 

I have to admit that he has turned out to be a lot better than I expected.  Living in Columbus, I was pretty familiar with him when he was in college, but didn't expect him to reach the level of Superbowl MVP.

Here ya go Destro...
