Question 1

Why are prospect autograph cards valuable?

Accepted Answer

Prospect autographs are valuable because they combine the rarity of an autograph with the upside potential of an unproven player. If a prospect becomes a star, early autograph cards appreciate significantly. Additionally, autographed cards are always scarcer than base versions, supporting consistent collector demand.

Question 2

What are parallels in Prospects Autographs sets?

Accepted Answer

Parallels are alternate versions of the same card printed in limited quantities, often with different colors, foil treatments, or serial numbers. Numbered parallels (like /99 or /25) are especially rare and sought-after because they are produced in smaller runs, making them harder to complete and more valuable to collectors.

Question 3

How should I evaluate the condition of a prospect autograph?

Accepted Answer

Prospect autographs should be evaluated on both card condition and autograph quality. Look for clean, on-card signatures without smudges or fading. Professional grading services assess both factors and assign a single grade, which heavily influences value and buyer confidence on SuperCatch.
