Beckett lists Duncan having 100 different autographs, but as much as I look at eBay everyday, I have only seen around 30+ different autos of TD including duals (which I don't collect if its not with a Spur whom he played with). I have never seen a patch autographed card of TD. I think most of his autos are SP'ed and that is the reason why it comes out rare in the secondary market. I guess being with Topps, that has odds like 1:10k+, makes it tough to pull one. Lol. I only have 15 of his autos, no duals and only 1 sticker.

And this is the reason why many TD collectors just get his patches in lieu of his very elusive autographs. Just a thought, sometimes his Press Pass Double Threat Autos even reach triple digits which is kinda odd for a Press Pass Auto.

BTW, he did sign some stuff with Press Pass, Wheels Thunder and ScoreBoard, which were outside the mainstream. These were included in the 100 Duncan autographs listed in Beckett.

Duncan's Exquisite cards are sick.

Would you agree with me that the 1998-99 Skybox Autographics is Duncan's best auto or is there one you like better?
