2007 National Treasures Cut Autos

I found this video by Donruss TV showing some of the Cut Autos from 2007 National Treasures Football. These are the big money cards from a super high-end product. Some of the subjects include Football Hall of Famers, Boxing Legends, former Presidents, and entertainers. Most of the lower numbered cards should sell for over $1,000 a pop.

Here’s a list of the cards in the order that they were shown:

I’ll add links to auctions of any card that pops up on eBay if you are interested in buying or just want to check out how high the prices go.

Some nice cards, and some weird choices (Did Catherine Nimitz Lay do anything besides being the daughter of an Admiral?). I love the Hank Ketcham with the Dennis the Menace sketch. If it turns up on eBay at a reasonable price, I might take a shot at it.

On the other hand, the Walter Payton looks hideous. I’m not a big fan of Cut Autos from photographs, and in the case of the Walter Payton you can barely see his signature. Unfortunately, it looks like most of the Payton cuts are like this.

I’ll keep updating the links as more of these cards are pulled.
