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


Game-Used Lineup cards 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.

How long have sports cards been around ? (part 1)

The first baseball trading cards date back to 1869. For many years, baseball cards were packaged in packs of tobacco as a way to increase sales the same way that today prizes are packaged in boxes of cereal. In the 1920's and 1930's, candy and gum companies started packaging baseball cards in their products as well.

Baseball card production was virtually halted in the early 1940's due to paper shortages created by World War II. The "Modern Era" of baseball cards began in 1948 when Bowman Gum Inc. offered one card and one piece of gum in a pack for a penny.

The first important football set was the Mayo set featuring college players in 1984. Other than the 1935 National Chicle set no other key football set was issued until 1948 when noth Bowman and Leaf produced sets.
