It took me forever to find the Bagwell gold rush sample. And it's still the only one I've ever seen!
Not sure what answer your searching for, but hopefully this will help. There are 2 different samples from this set of Junior: a regular sample and a gold rush sample of the base card in the set. The gold rush is much more scarce, however exactly how much is unknown. I also have not been able to find much info on these and didn't know they existed until I picked up mine a few years back.
Thanks for the info.It took me forever to find the Bagwell gold rush sample. And it's still the only one I've ever seen!
Which Topps Gold Red Label is that?
Here. Now you've seen two
I've still seen more red crusades pop up than that card. That's saying something!

My personal take it most people think Samples are worthless so they don't even bother to list them. Then when someone puts up one, like say 93 Chase stars dufex test blank back it plummets. I bought the first one on ebay I've ever seen for $150. I've heard of everyone saying how rare it is blah blah. After I bought that one the floodgates opened, and boom I've seen 10 POp up and the last one I sold got I think $35. So I guess i would say sampled Are cool as long as long as you don't spend a ton on them unless you had concrete print runs
So so yes some are rare, but I would assume a lot are sitting in common boxes across the world.
I was pretty happy to get this back in October. These are gorgeous in hand. The purple foil is a really nice touch and compliment to the aesthetic of these cards.

Legendary!
Seeing as how I live in Houston, and have been looking through boxes of Bagwell cards at every show and every card shop, you'd think if they were somehow plentiful, I'd have seen more. If indeed this card is truly kind of a rinky dink common, well...that's the only astros cards you can seem to find around here because everything good get's snapped up right away. But there are plenty of people selling base cards and cheesy inserts of Bagwell around here. Enough to where between that and all the lots I've purchased as well as singles I've got, I should have seen at least a few. I'd be curious as to how many Astroburn has seen. And I agree not many people think they are worth much(I snapped mine up so fast the seller was probably wondering wth?) and may not list them in droves, but base cards for Bagwell have been and continue to be listed in insane quantities on ebay. Cards that will never even be purchased at opening bid or at the BIN price, free shipping be damned! So the fact that this card just does not show up has me scratching my head.
@athletics07 Hey that looks familiar!
