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

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 A)
Airbrushing is the art of touching up a photo prior to the card being printed.
It was generally done to remove imperfections or update or hide a players
jersey/cap logo. Because of advancements in print technology and computers this is
no longer needed.
All-Star card (AS) usually a subset card picturing a player who participated in the
previous season’s all-star game. Topps created these in their 1958 High Number
issue and has continued the practice fairly regularly to date. Such cards
are usually designated in price guides with the abbreviation of AS.
Assorted A general mix of cards often containing many duplicates.
Auction items are sold to the highest bidder. Auctions used to be live
or thru the mail/phone but today most auctions are online.
Auction Catalog lists the rules and descriptions and often images
of the items in an auction.
Authentication verification that an item (card, autograph) is genuine. Most "game-used"
material inserts have a written declaration of authenticity on the reverse.
Authorized Issue card or memorabilia item that has been properly licensed. If
the item is of a player, his written permission must be given in order for it to be considered authorized.
