A Favorite From the First Pick — Anthony Black's Cherry Blossom Prizm Black
Our first draft pick from our first season with season tickets, signed live in the tunnel.
Anthony Black was our first-round pick the first season we held season tickets, so he's always had a soft spot in this family's heart. Since then, he's been unbelievably generous with his time in the tunnel — quick with a smile, quick to stop, quick to make a fan's night. He became a favorite around here fast, and he's only gotten more exciting to watch since. If you're building a collection with an eye on where a player's career is headed, he's one to keep in mind.
This one's a Prizm Black Cherry Blossom parallel — a print run low enough that finding one at all is the hard part, let alone one of this player. We watched Christian hand it over and watched Anthony Black sign it, right there in the tunnel. The autograph also carries third-party authentication from CGC x JSA, so it's not only our word — though we understand if a phone-video glimpse of the card mid-signing doesn't do it justice next to the real thing.
We're not in a hurry to see this one go — but we'd rather it find a collector who understands what a low print run actually means than sit in a box waiting.
It's one of two Anthony Black pieces we witnessed signed in person, with a third — a Monopoly Money signing — on the way.
A close up from the video. Not good enough for Provenance.
