Good Price for An Olajuwon 1/1?

[duane1969]

I was at a card show and a guy had an Upper Deck Hakeem Olajuwon 1/1 autograph. I am not sure of the year, I think it was '07 or '08. His asking price was $50. I haven't messed with basketball in years so I am not sure, but I think I may have messed up by passing on it. I am hoping he will still have it at the next show. Opinions?

Considering most Olajuwon regular autos go for between 25-50, id say you lost out on a good deal yeah!
Certified Upper Deck pack pulled true 1/1 auto in good condition? I think you should take it next time you see that guy.

Yeah that is kinda what i was thinking. I am kicking myself waiting for the next show.

He probably raised his price to 75 haha!

Very good deal for $50.

Yeah i would have jumped on it. You could have easily flipped it on ebay if you don't like the card.

There were several people around his table and it was late in the day and none were showing interest in it so it kind of scared me off. If he has it next time I will probably jump on it. Olajuwon was my fav player back in the day so it would be a nice piece to hold on to.

I would say jump on that :)

Not worth it probably a fake. Hakeem never signed many autos back then. He did not start signing until recently. An 1/1 back then prob fake.
