Space Jam Auto - opinions / help wanted!

[Joghi]

So I happened to be lucky enough to pull an autograph from a random pack of the 2021 Upper Deck Space Jam A New Legacy set.



As you can see it's an Candi Milo signature from the Horizontal Autographs Set, specifically the HS-MI2.
It appears to have one of the most rare droprates outside the LeBron and AD signatures with 1:4,951 hobby packs.

Now here is the catch:
As I do not collect the set I want to sell the card, but I do not find any comps to level the card against. The HS-MI has a number of comps but the HS-MI2 I have on my hands seems nowhere to be found.

I'm happy about any assessment with a few short words to try to get to an opinion myself.

Thanks guys!

Looks like ALL the Horizontal ones are #'d HS-MI2, as the HS-MI one is the Vertical Version. So $12-41 based on comps

[Joghi]

No, there is actually a different horizontal motive, which is HS-CM (not HS-MI, my bad).

It can be seen here:
Ebay.

That's the one I meant where you find comps (I guess also the ones you referred to), but I never have found the motive / card, which is the HS-MI2.
And that's the core of my wondering...

PS: You can seperate the two motives also by the matter if she has a ball spinning on her finger (HS-MI2) or flexing (HS-CM).

Can you find a different signer that had two variations, and get a feel for the premium attached to the rarer variation?

In my opinion, the rarer one would only sell 10-20% more because nonsport collectors usually want the auto and don't care about the orientation, and very few are trying to assemble a master set of this product.

Ignoring the rarity as most others will I think that estimate above is pretty accurate. Unfortunately pack rarity rarely equates to the same as numbered rarity, usually the only ones bragging about how rare a non-numbered parallel is is the person who pulled it themselves. Luckily with Fleer Retro just releasing there are a ton of new comps for Candi autos pretty much ranging above and even a miss prissy /25 only being $35.99. Now Granny is a more premium character than Miss Prissy but with the flood of autos hitting due to Retro hitting e-pack I doubt it goes much higher unless someone is desperate for that specific auto.

[smanzari]

Here's the Checklist - I am like 99.9% certain they are the same with a numbering error/variation, with one having the "CM" and one having the "MI2;" Looking at odds, "MI2" is more common, so probably at the low end of the previously-provided range

I would expect these Space Jam autos to get cheaper as those of us that collect Looney Tunes autos would much rather have the new Fleer Ultra autos of the same signers instead of the Space Jam branding.

As someone who has put together a set of these autos on COMC, I haven't had to pay any extra for any variations, short print or otherwise, as no one seems to care. The prices are highest when there hasn't been an Epack sale in a while. This auto can drop to under $10 when there's a sale.

[Joghi]

Thanks a lot guys - very much appreciate the input!

Really, it depends on if you find a set collector who needs one for a master set. Put it up at auction, and it could sell for $10-20 just as easily as $100 if you find someone who needs it for their set. Most non-sports collectors won't put much of a premium on it, but that's not who you are trying to sell it to. Personally, I would try to list it for a bit at a high BIN/BO and see if you get any offers.

This card is not on the epack check list so could be hobby box only. The Bugs Bunny auto with the same odds is selling for $20 on comc but the Granny one has no sales which would not be a surprise as most of the cards selling there come from epacks.

Or hold out for a Granny voice actress supercollector.
