I am the owner of the car. After reading some of the posts, I thought I'd add a little more that might give some a better understanding of why the car is priced where it is. Aside from the car being signed by the main stakeholders affiliated with it, and that Jr has already publically announced he will not race the #3 car again, the real uniqueness comes with the incription of the "3" with Jr's auto. This is what in my opinion makes this very valuable for a collector. To our knowledge, I am only aware of three cars on the market place where Jr. has done thison the Wrangler car (we own 2 of them). I know of many collectors who have asked him to do this, however, he has just signed his name. I believe there was even somebody here on DCZ, that once shared a story, where Jr incribed an "88" & not a "3" on this same car.
As for questions of authenticity, I guess I can only do or say so much, but I do back our autographs with a written policy guarantee, use Ebay Approved 3rd Party Authentication, and try to offer as much proof of reasonably possible, but its nearly impossible to take photos or obtain hollograms on every single item we obtain...thats just the reality.
I don't expect everybody to agree with the pricing, but hopefully this gives a little more insight to some.
This will be a tough one to part with, when it does sell...Jr is by far my favorite driver
