Auto Graphed Reels
Auto Graphed Reels
I have two autographed reels signed my Aaron Martens and Takahiro Omori.. They were personally signed the other day while they we're fishing in Wisconsin for the Mississippi River Rumble elite series.. The reels that got signed were a Metanium DC Mg (a reel used by Martens himself), and a Daiwa Alphas 103 (JDM).. To clarify somethings up it was the box and reel covers that were signed... Im just curious to know if you guys believe that having these reels being autographed brings up the value to the reels? Both of the reels are in excellent cosmetic and mechanical shape... What do you folks think?
Re: Auto Graphed Reels
Value is always going to be based upon public demand...whether appreciation occurs, who knows? Met DCs and the Alphas 103 are not ltd edtns, plus the Met DC is used. Could be in a few decades you could see a real collectible value on both, or it may end up being like any other reel/box, etc., with only slightly more value to it.GotJDM wrote:I have two autographed reels signed my Aaron Martens and Takahiro Omori..

I say it would all be worth much more if both retire with substantial resumes, and both win the NASCAR cup and a Super Bowl.
Good luck.

Re: Auto Graphed Reels
Interesting feed back from all of you! Imo I would think that it would bump the value a little bit more... Of course as time progresses...

As time progresses they will sign more and more autographs....GotJDM wrote:Interesting feed back from all of you! Imo I would think that it would bump the value a little bit more... Of course as time progresses...
Not to be a downer but like most professional anglers they are very easy to talk to because they are constantly selling themselves and the companies that they represent. I was at the elite event myself and a quick question for Aaron turned into a 30min convo about just random stuff not even having to do with fishing. Its going to have more sentimental value to you and even more to any little kid you know that loves fishing in the long run, so just enjoy it and share it with those that can appreciate it!!!
