I just looked around too and saw a few Belle 1995 Score Samples with the black lettering, but nobody else. Curious that there are multiple black-print copies of one player for sale but none from anyone else. Despite what SCD says that makes me wonder if just the one player was issued with black font? If anyone has a black print version besides Belle please post a pic!!

The story I got on these was they are uncut promos. 1 promo is without the pattern on the card.

Die cut version and 2 uncut proofs

No numbering on proofs

Pattern is hard to pick up

Pattern on both cards

Sample with no pattern

^^^ Cool stuff , I like the change in pattern.

Ebay I'm sure. I got them a couple years ago. I was recently sorting some things and noticed the pattern. Glad I saw it, mad I missed it kind of thing.

Will post a pic if I come across another player besides Belle with the black SAMPLE.

You dog! I looked at the photo first and thought "cool they do exist", but then read the text...

Lol! I hope I run into one at some point!

banjar · Jul 23, 2016

Yeah. Maybe I'll just take a black sharpie to one of my white print ones

Nice mock-up. I'm still looking for any player other than Belle.

Here's a little bit of a weird recent pickup, a 1991 MooTown Snackers David Justice proof/test of some sort. Incomplete back with a partial Jose Canseco mention, no perforation down the middle.

I'm looking for the following 1991 MooTown Snackers (Red) cards WITH tabs. If anybody has any of these, please let me know...

1991 Mootown Snackers Ad Panel with Gwynn #6
1991 Mootown Snackers Ad Panel with Alomar #10
1991 Mootown Snackers Ad Panel with Boggs #11
1991 Mootown Snackers Ad Panel with Dykstra #18
1991 Mootown Snackers Ad Panel with Parrish #20
1991 Mootown Snackers Ad Panel with Sabo #21
1991 Mootown Snackers Ad Panel with Mitchell #23

Kal Daniels. That's right. Kal. Daniels. In hindsight his inclusion in the set seems very odd, I'm assuming it was because he was a Dodger. Perhaps the stranger thing is that he was one of the eight highlighted on the ad panel/tab.

In my quest to get them all at affordable prices with the ad panel/tab attached, I've found that some of the lesser guys are the harder ones to find in this set. The Daniels popped up on eBay last week and I did get it, but to my surprise, there was another bidder.

Question. Are the 2000 MLB cards marked "Home Run Hitter", at the top, actually promo cards?

BBCgalaxee · Aug 19, 2016

Picked this rarity up today

I Am sorry to bother you guys with so many pictures but I have a number of promos I intend to sell and am not trolling for offers on this thread...just information. Anything below that is worth more than a hill of beans? I had intended to put these cards as one big lot on Ebay and see what happens. Just looking for thoughts to see if there is anything unusual or worth more than the average promo. Thanks for looking and offering your thoughts.
