It has been ages since I posted in this thread (Belle was only in 2000 and 2001) but landed a freaking monster for my PC, thought I'd share :)

Pretty cool to see the Topps hologram sticker on the back too. Card is crazy nice in hand.

Here are the eBay scans:

Yeah, wow, those scans did not do it justice! Amazing card!

I grabbed this one a while back. Pretty cheap BIN because of a touched corner.

Love the 2000 Legacies; still looking for a Griffey

[MENTION=3754]MansGame[/MENTION] - stunning 1/1 Belle and awesome pickup! Never seen one of those before.

In 2003, Topps All-Time Fan Favorites bought back 13 different Don Zimmer vintage Topps cards, had Zim sign the cards, and issued them as "Don Zimmer Auto Proofs" Numbering was between 1 and 24 copies per card. These are kind of my holy grails for my Don Zimmer collection. I landed the 1959 card last night. It's my third card from the set, joining his 1961 and 1964 cards. Love having him in a Dodgers uniform! Cards are hand numbered, embossed with 2003 Vintage Card stamp, and hologram sticker on back.

happened to be in the DFW area for work. stayed at a hotel, and as i was researching i saw that the Beckett offices were literally a 3min drive from the hotel. so i dropped some cards off. had been a LOOOONG time since i actually submitted anything for grading.

thought this card looked pretty nice in hand, but i was worried about edge / corner grading given the deckled edge. but, i thought it looked pretty clean.

Stunning card. The only downside is you need to change your screen name to gradeinflator!

LOL. yeah in hindsight i wish i could change my handle. my screen name actually just comes from the fact that i'm a tough overall evaluator of things, and i hate "grade inflation' - whether it be in schools, job evaluations, etc.

Love your finds! I regularly mine your sportlots inventory. :)

Killer Chipper. A very under-respected card.

The Power Up Blues and the 2003 UD Victory Purples (and Reds) are easily a few of the least-respected impossible to find parallels from that era. Such a cruel thing for UD to do, put impossible to find cards in failed kids products!

Those Victory purples are like freakin ghosts. I have the power up rainbow. Never even seen a Victory Purple. That's how often they don't pop up!
