I believe it was asked but not answered - were Series 2 Gold Rush cards also redeemed and sent back stamped? I haven't found a single Series 2 card Gold Rush redeemed. Thanks!


Looking for Wes Chamberlain rare cards, variations, game used items, etc.

Yes, that's correct. Only a very small handful of the Series One Gold Rush cards came back with that stamp. Baseballcardpedia.com incorrectly infers that the stamp was used on all the sets. It also incorrectly states the position of the stamp as clearly seen in the previous images posted to this thread. The reason why only a portion of the sets are stamped isn't clear, but it's generally believed (1) Pinnacle realized their mistake having severely underestimated how many sets were coming into the redemption program. They produced 4,950 for each team - which equalled a stunning 148,500 total sets. And due to that number, in all likelihood, expected much fewer than that to be redeemed. However, when nearly all were claimed, they prudently stopped using the stamp in order to process the redemptions in a timely fashion. Remember this was something like 1.48 MILLION individual cards. It's not that much of a stretch to presume they saw the handwriting on the wall and just gave up on the process. To date, no Series 2 version with a stamp has been found, for the aforementioned reason. 1 - This is an informal consensus based on discussions with several longtime variation and player specialists.

So I finally got around to buying a Burnitz redeemed. Assuming they made 4950 of each Platinum set, how long into the process do you think they stopped stamping these? I would imagine there's gotta be at least a thousand of each series one card redeemed floating around or am I way off?

I'd say way off.. My guess is >50

They quit stamping that soon you think? I suppose if redemptions started flooding in at a high rate. This was still kinda the end of the "junk era" too so I wouldn't be surprised if a bunch made it to the camp fire. I suppose I should consider myself lucky that the cards were still sitting in the marketplace all this time

I know of about 5 Clark's that exist in PCs. So it's just my opinion it's less than 50 , but def not 1000
