Maurice Richard Autos

[RGM81]

Hoping somebody can help me out a little here. I just moved a bunch of non-hockey memorabilia and I'm thinking of ways to put it to use. I could save up for the day any of my whales emerge (see avatar) or a nice Price or heaven forbid just save it, but I'm thinking I might want to get myself a Maurice Richard auto. The one I see most often is the INKredible and it does look just that. Are there any other good ones out there worth pursuing (don't say the Centennial cut autos, I didn't make that much!) and what's a ballpark figure I should expect to pay?

The one I've been meaning to buy (I have no Habs PC to speak of, but it's Rocket Richard. I'd like to get a hold of an auto) is from 1997-98 Beehive. The card looks like this, except it's also signed:

The fact that it's on a 5 x 7 card I like (I find over sized cards to be more trouble than their worth, unless it's for something actually worth being large, this would). Would make a much nicer display piece, IMO, than a regular sized card.

As for price, I know you used to be able to pick this thing up for about $40, but that was when it was a newer card, before he died. Now, anytime I've seen one.... the prices seemed to be in the $80 - $120 range.

I picked up a Richard SOTT for $125 sometime last year.

I've been tossing around the idea of picking up his INKredible auto too, beauty of a card!

Well folks, I've just committed to getting myself a Maurice Richard Beehive Auto!!!! This will be front and centre in the display case for sure! Thanks to all for the tips!

Let me know what you end up paying for it :) As I said..... I'd like to get my hands on one too.

Cool, I would like to get one, one day. I have a in person auto from the 90 when he was signing at a card show I was setting up. But none other then this one signed on a proset card. Still a nice souvenir because I got to shake his hand that day.

I know someone who picked up a cut auto... I forget which set, but it's from a non hockey set... for a little over $50...

Thanks Shane, I've been beaming all afternoon since making the deal - I'm incredibly happy to have one of these.
