Another newb question: 02-03 Expo Auto's

[redwingsfan11]

Hey guys, i have yet another question that has been puzzling me for a while now. I apologize in advance for the long read.

About a month or so ago, I saw this following 02-03 BAP signature Expo Zetterberg auto pop up on ebay. Being the completionist i am, i was really considering purchasing it, however when i go onto Beckett, and look at Zetterberg's expo cards, none have the "AU" attribute near it which leads me to thinking, are these cards actually signed at the expo or are these after market signed cards? Meaning some guy got this expo rc and then a few years down the road, gets it signed by Zetty.

I just purchased an 02-03 BAP Signature Rick Nash auto and saw that the same applied to him as well. Which can be seen in the link below. For me i was looking for a cheap Nash auto either way (official or after market). The same question applies to this card as well.

Lastly, if these cards are official and not after markets. Where do i find a list of a players auto'd expo cards? Because if this Zetterberg is the only expo rc auto he has then i dont mind getting it, but if not then im not going to waste my resources on chasing such low printed expo auto's.

im not quite sure about the zetty in question but i do know for a fact that beckett doesnt list all of the expo cards...i have several eric staals that arent listed and they are legit. hope that helps and i would also like to know if there is a complete list of these expo cards for all of the player collectors out there

It can be very difficult to keep track of all the various Expo and show cards that are out there. You can also use the SCF Inventory system to see anything about the cards, and if you notice that there is a card, attribute, or entire set missing, you can report it and our crack staff will do what they can to find out more information.

If you check out this search result for "Zetterberg 2002 Expo" cards, you'll see that we have tagged several cards as autographs where appropriate.

I appreciate the help very much guys. I totally forgot about the inventory search even though i used it before . According to the inventory search, that is the only expo autograph out there (that is not #'ed 1) and also it yielded that the Nash is an aftermarket auto as well. It also managed to add another card to my list which i never knew existed which is his 02-03 BAP jersey auto /10 which beckett doesn't have listed, so i guess i'll contact them to try to get it on their list.

ITG provides decently accurate info about their 2003 and earlier expo programs.. it's after that time that they start to get sketchy with all of their 1/1 mem cards and other things.
