I'm still trying to figure out 2008 Tristar Prospects Plus "Retail" version.

I never recall seeing any retail 08 Prospects Plus, and have never been able to tell the difference between any of the cards.

The retail version lacks the metallic finish of the hobby. But yeah, I don't know if the retail was every really released by the pack. It was probably a backdoored printing released by certain ebay sellers.

I still haven't seen a 1990 Pacific Glossy Dave Kingman

The Glossy were only sold in complete sets. There's a set on eBay right now:

That's a good point, and no, I didn't make the distinction when I found the set on eBay. Beckett only references the Legends Glossy set, while the Standard Catalog only references the Senior Glossy set. Clearly the Senior Glossy set exists... Makes one wonder about the other one. There are a couple singles listed on eBay, but they don't have any useful information in the listing.

This the one youre referring to?

That's it. I've never seen one before.

Sorry if this has already been covered, I haven't read the entire thread yet, but do the 1997 Studio hard hats samples exist? I've been looking for Bernie Williams for years with no luck.

2004 Leaf Second Edition #195 Barry Bonds. Shows on the checklists, but people state Barry did not sign the contract so they were pulled from the release. I see the base set has it but not the Second Edition one. I had called DLP a few times before they closed up shop and was told that the card was definitely produced and released. I have opened literally dozens of boxes of this product and never seen a copy. This is the Second Edition version that I am speaking about. In the white box above the players name it says Second Edition.

It does in fact exist!

Wow, that is the first time I have seen one. Thanks for confirming for me.

You wouldn't happen to have an extra copy would you???

No, sorry. Took me a while to track down also. Ended up paying a whole 18 cents plus shipping for it on sportlotscom

I own a Griffey. Very rare. More of an "executive sample" as they are sometimes referred to. One of the many different XXXX samples you'll find on the the market occasionally. I assume the whole set exists, but not sure.

Should we assume that all serial numbered Donruss/Leaf/Studio inserts from 1997 and 1998 have Executive Samples? Most of the sets I can think of, I have seen Executives available for, with just a few exceptions (Diamond Kings and Elites, 1998 Leaf Fractal Materials).

Back on topic, I know this card does actually exist, as I see complete sets for sale (at least 2 on ebay right now). But I have never come across a single copy of the Skybox Molten Metal Oh Atlanta! Andres Galarraga available for sale as a single card. I see other singles from this set all over, but the sets on ebay right now have the only copies I've seen period.

Thanks! Glad to know they are out there, now I can keep searching.

1999 SP Signture Edition Auto RHE. Rickey didn't sign the cards and no one knows if the cards were ever released unsigned or not. Beckett has the auto listed on their list. If the unsigned version does exist, I would love to get a copy and have it signed.

This notice is required by law.

That's because it was never made. I had a Fryman on my list for years as well - because that's what the checklist that was published had listed. Turns out - there were like 11 players who didn't sign in that set (Henderson included) that a gold parallel was NOT made, despite the published checklist. Its so stupid too - because beckett had a price listed for "sales" of these cards - even though none had ever surfaced!! So obnoxious.

Thanks for the helpful information! Another black mark through the checklist

'05 Turkey Red /50 gold border Cesar Izturis
'09 Upper Deck '89 Buyback Brett Butler - I too call BS that these were reissued in equal numbers. I'm not too sure that all players were even reissued at all.

It only took 9 years to track down the Izturis, but one finally popped up on eBay and it arrived yesterday. The Upper Deck buyback Butler was located as well - it still is the only one I've seen.

If you collect Pedro Alvarez, you can stop looking for these 20 autographs and the sepia mini (only the first 100 cards in that 350-card Gypsy Queen set come in sepia)
