I picked up a Dave Roberts autograph for my 2004 Red Sox Autograph project. I am trying to do this project on a budget. There is a single Certified Dave Roberts autograph on a Red Sox card. It is from 2018 Topps Archives Fan Favorites. There is one on eBay but it is $200 and I'm not giving $200 for it. So I settled for an uncertified 2004 Upper Deck Update autograph.
Dave Roberts steal was one of the most memorable things from the 2004 ALCS. But as trade deadline pickup and not signing on for 2005 there are very few Dave Roberts cards in a Red Sox uniform. And oddly to me, no cards of his stolen base. (the aforementioned 2018 autograph is him scoring the tying run after that stolen base.)
Also, how weird is it that the only Upper Deck Red Sox card of him came out in 2005 Update. Not 2005 regular Upper Deck, 2005 Upper Deck Update. When the Red Sox didn't sign him he played the the 2005 season with the Padres so I would have thought for the Update set he would have been on a Padres card.
