Value Check: Larry Bird 1/1 Auto

Joghi · 12-30-2025, 06:00 PM

Hey everyone,

I have a 2024 Panini Origins Universal Autographs 1/1 of Larry Bird (on card) and I was hoping to get some insight into its current value.
Since it’s a 1/1, I know it’s a pretty rare and hard to comp, but I’m curious about what you guys think of its value.

Details:

Set: 2024-25 Panini Origins

Card: Universal Autographs 1/1

Player: Larry Bird

Features: 1/1, Autograph on card

Condition: Mint / Near Mint. Never left the original Panini Case

Photos:

I would really appreciate any value assessments or thoughts on this card. Thanks in advance!

Cheers and happy new year

Normally I'd assume a Larry Bird auto is really cool but as I got more into the hobby I realized how staggeringly non-liquid the 80s guys are compared to Jordan/Kobe/LeBron.

Looking at comps for other huge Larry Bird cards, a logoman auto 1/1 went for $31,000 this year so you would be working backwards from there.

The pros of this card are a bold on-card auto, vertical orientation, and obviously a 1 of 1 stamp.
The biggest con of this card is the graphic design, it does not really stand out in a showcase and nothing about it compliments Celtic pride in any way. On top of that (this could just be my opinion as a picky high-end collector) Panini in general as a manufacturer that rings second fiddle to Upper Deck's licensed era. This Panini Origins set in particular does not carry the hype of Flawless/NT either.

If I look at other cards that a Bird or 80s basketball maniac would love, I see /75 Limited Logos selling for around $7k-$12k. I see NBA licensed Magic/Bird low number autos selling for $12k as well.

At gunpoint, I would estimate this card would sell for anywhere from $6,500 to $10,000. If in a PSA 10/10 slab then $20k. If someone offered you more, immediately sell.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news (not sure what you are expecting value to be), but it's probably around $500-$750. It's a parallel 1/1 from a mid-end product. An Immaculate 1/1 auto just sold for $700, so I'd honestly guess below that. Still an amazing card though!

Where are you seeing these comps? I looked at everything in 2025 on CL

kingofsnake · 12-30-2025, 07:22 PM

I don't think much changed since you posted this thread.

My guess of $700-$1,200 remains the same.

90skid · 12-30-2025, 07:29 PM

Here's some card ladder 1/1 comp sales of higher end releases, there's no way you are touching these levels with a non patch mid-tier panini IMO.

babyfaceposey · 12-30-2025, 07:40 PM

$600 I would think.

I just searched Larry Bird 1/1 auto on eBay's completed listings.

at least you tried to help

To OP, at best you will get maybe 700.

Thanks to everyone bringing in an opinion!

@Kingofsnake: Thanks for linking it - I actually tried to find it and couldn't with 8 months of content in between. As you can see from my number of posts (also compared to yours) I'm totally new / unknowing around here. I'm sure there are ways to easily dig it up - I'm just not used to it as I'm not familiar round here. I'm glad you took that into consideration and cut me some slack about it.

For sure, man. I hope you got the answers you were looking for. Happy New Year.

Tell mwf94 you'll sell it to him for half of what he thinks it's worth.
