How do you make custom index cards for sports autographs?

Answer 1

You could just go out and buy index cards. If you want them customized, do it to your liking. Index cards are good for TTM Autographs which means sending away for signatures Through The Mail but, signatures signed on an index card will be lower in value than a signed Baseball or Photo. If you are getting the autograph in person you should get either a photo or baseball signed. Signatures will vary in price based on condition, the type of authenticity that accompanies the signature, the item signed, and how well the item displays the signature. Baseballs are the most common, and preferred by collectors because of it's connection to the game, low cost, availability and it displays the signature well. The signed baseball represents the average price for a signature, and by deducting or adding from this price for the Item signed accordingly will give you a good idea on value.

The lowest priced signed item would be for a "cut Signature." A cut signature is a signature on a piece of paper, or "cut" from a larger piece. Index cards are the next step up, and both sell at a fraction (about 10%-20%) the price of an autographed baseball. Autograph photos typically sell at about 40-60 percent the price of a baseball with bats, uniform Jersey's and equipment selling at a higher price due to the higher cost of the item, rarity and display.

In general if an autographed baseball is worth $100. the same autograph on a 8x10 photo $50. a cut signature or index card$20. on a bat $150. The percentage of the price could also vary based on the popularity of the player, and how sought after the signature is.
