Awesome Autographs: Jesse Owens PSA/DNA Certified Cut Signature

[Chris P]

I don't veer to far from the big 3 in sports usually, but in this case I made an exception. Jesse Owens is one of the most celebrated athletes in Olympic history. His historic performance at the Summer Games in Berlin in 1936 are stuff that legends are made of. In an era of racial inequality, and in the home country of Adolf Hitler, Owens rose to the occasion and won 4 gold medals. He's one of the greatest athletes in American history. This is one of my favorite autos in my collection. A
PSA/DNA autograph that I picked up
off Ebay. Any time I can add an autograph
of one of the greats in sports, no matter what
sport, I jump at the chance, and this was the case
with this Jesse Owens.

Very nice card!!! Do you know of any reason that some of the psa/dna doesn't go as high as say a upper deck cut sig?

I have no idea, I guess it's all about comfort and popularity. Collectors see a licensed packed out card from a major trading card manufacturer and especially from a set with an impressive lineage like SP Legendary Cuts and are willing to pay bigger bucks for it. Funny thing is UD prolly uses cuts that are slabbed by PSA/DNA or JSA and they just use their own cards to put them in.
