Art Faircloth, New York Giants Back
April 19th, 2010 | Published in Player Deaths | 4 Comments
Art Faircloth, a back for the New York Giants in 1947 and 1948, passed away on April 1. In his two years with the Giants, Faircloth played in a total of five games, doing a little of everything: he had eleven career rushes, three passes, three interceptions, four punts, and two kick returns.
Though his career was short, Faircloth appeared on a football card, the 1948 Bowman pictured here.

Does the value of a card go up when the player is deceased? I have about 30 of these that I paid a max of $25 for, for NM certified. Surprised to see they are listing for 3 times that now.

I don’t think so, Laura, at least not for long. The rise you’ve seen is probably from inflation, the economy improving, and a general rise in the prices of vintage cards. I believe you would see a similar change in the prices of other 1948 Bowman cards.
