Didn't see this until just now. League is full but looks like someone has 2 teams. I'd be happy to take on of those, unless he's holding it for someone else.
Wow, thanks for keeping us posted on this. It's definitely not an accidental photography effect. I asked the seller about this while the auction was still live and he said "No. It is red foil. I have no idea. Maybe it is an error card." Low feedback seller who probably knew what he was doing...
Congrats on the win. It's a great looking card. I would've loved to inspect it in person. I'd be curious what you think of it once you receive it. My worry was that it was a base card with the background either colored in by hand with a high quality marker or possibly printed over with a high...
I saw the following eBay listing for a 1995 SP Top Prospects Minor League Andruw Jones "Red Foil":

I never heard of a red foil variation so I researched it like crazy and couldn't find a thing. I thought maybe it was a base card that someone colored in...
I picked this up about 2 months ago. It's a Sonny Gray gold /50 but it's missing the serial number. I've inspected it closely and there's no trace that there was ever a serial # stamped on there (no signs of leftover gold residue from where the gold foil might have rubbed off, and no...
Ugh...I feel you. I cringe whenever I see Frank Thomas NNOF sales. I bought a BGS 8.5 in 2012 for $1800, had no choice but to sell it a year later for $2000, and then he was inducted a year later and the sales skyrocketed. Not even sure what an 8.5 goes for nowadays but I see a 6.5 listed at...
Don't forget about all the Heroes subsets and their autograph versions. The non-auto Nolan Ryan and Hank Aaron Heroes have the silver home plate holos (as pictured above in post #18). The official autographed versions of those cards have a silver diamond holo (more like a square with the corners...
The problem I have with phone pics is that I have to shoot chrome and mirror-like cards off-center, otherwise I see my or my phone's reflection in the card. But if I shoot off-center then the perspective gets all jacked up. For example, if you shoot from a high angle, then the top of the card...
That's pretty awesome quality right there. I'd love to see what a 2012 Panini Prizm base looks like on your Epson. I'm also looking for a new scanner and the only cards that I ever have serious "ugly" problems with are the gray chrome cards or any cards that could pass for a rear-view mirror in...
