Authentic Major League SIGNED
Game-Used LINEUP Cards (PSA)


Game-Used Lineup cards These are the official lineup cards SIGNED BY THE MANAGER & given to the home plate umpire before the game with the team's line-up & batting order !!! Making them even neater, often managers made lineup changes on these cards throughout the game. These official lineup cards were SIGNED BY THE MANAGER and presented to the home plate umpire before the game. They detailed the team's lineup and batting order. Managers often made lineup changes on these cards throughout the game, making them even more unique.

Collectors say "They are official documents of a particular game, so they are absolutely historically relevant. The manager, he was the general in the war. Imagine owning Eisenhower's list of who he wanted to go into battle, and then he signed it !!! Imagine what that would be worth?"

The first dugout lineup cards were seen around 1960. Along with lineup cards, most ended up in the trash after games, making them quite rare today. MLB saw the light and started marketing them directly in the 2000's.

Astronomical prices have been paid for cards from special games.
$165,010 for the Red Sox dugout lineup card from Game 4 of the 2004 World Series.
$138,000 in 2007 for 1st ever All-Star Game batting order cards.
$ 40,000 for batting order cards and the pen used to fill them out from Cal Ripken's 2,130th & 2,131st games.

Baseball card collecting terms (part H-R)

High Numbers - vintage cards were issued in the ‘50s-‘70s in a series. During the baseball season, the largest number of cards were made. As the schedule progressed into September, when there would be less interest in baseball cards , Topps for one, specifically decreased production and hence much less product was available. As a result, a scarcity-factor was created and a premium holds for these first type of "short-printed" cards.

Inserts - special randomly-inserted cards which are not part of the regular set. Many modern inserts are sequentially-numbered and rarer than the card sets into which they are inserted.

O-Pee-Chee / OPC - a subsidiary of Topps, this card issue was produced specifically for distribution in Canada.

Promotional Card - generally referred to as cards issued to show what the product will look like on release and intended to help spur future sales. Often called a "promo" card.

Reprint - cards issued to reproduce the originals. With the current trend of vintage reprints, the new versions have a distinguishing characteristic evidenced by numbering.

Restored - a card or piece of memorabilia which someone has tried to return to a "like-new" condition. A restored card is considered to be of very little value.

Rookie Card - any league-licensed, widely distributed card to feature a player in his first year of trading cards.
