I check Ebay for Seneca Wallace pretty much everyday. It used to be several times a day, plus COMC, plus Beckett Marketplace, plus Sportlots, plus Amazon, but with time my searching is now limited to just one site once a day. Otherwise ain't nobody got time for that.
I see a lot of the same stuff day after day, same sellers, same prices, nothing I need. So you can imagine my excitement when something I actually needed /25 popped up with a $0.99 starting bid. I figured I might get it cheaply as a result, but a mini little bidding war ensued. The last version of this card I saw went for like $15 shipped...I wasn't going to lose this one and managed it right around $20:
Per the usual with Sage stickers, this scans horribly. But it's 9/25 and looks fantastic in person. It is funny how the sticker cuts off the last attribute word though...some shoddy design there lol.The back is even neater IMHO:
This is my first card signed on the back, and it's a verification signature Thomas Geideman os Sage. I never realized that signature was part of this card design...but it's a pretty amazing part! I also love the way the auto version explains some of the traits that Seneca's signature shows. Conscientiousness, Good Judgment, Honesty, and Carefulness. I think his career definitely speaks towards 1 and 3 with the charity stuff he's done for the former and bluntness he showed in Cleveland displaying the latter. 4 used to be very true given his low turnover rate, but as Seneca has aged he's become more turnover prone. 2...hard to say since he can be checkdown/ball out of bounds friendly these days.
Regardless, it's pretty sweet having a card that analyzes my PC players signature, and to have it be a double signature card at that. This is by far one of my favorite Seneca autos now, so I'm glad something new popped up on Ebay!
