2009 Upper Deck

coqxxx4 · Dec 24, 2012

Was going through some 2009 Upper Deck and noticed that there are gold and silver cards for the same player. I believe there is nothing special about them but not sure. All the cards I have a gold so the silvers are the ones I don't see much. Can any one tell me anything about these?

I opened the hell out of that product from retail and I can honestly say I've seen no silvers. I did get lucky and pull some Griffey sp's if I'm remembering correctly.

The Gold parallels had the silver backs, looks like that Swisher is a gold that missed the proper stamping. Very odd, I haven't heard of such a thing until now.

?

I thought the gold he posted was not a parallel. That's the base isn't it? I'll have to check when I get home...

2009 UD was really backwards; the base set was gold (with silver foil), but the Gold parallels /99 were silver (with gold foil).

I thought the same thing since the gold parallels /99 were really silver but I have multiple cards like this see below.

I understand this but none of the "silver" cards that I have are numbered and they also have the silver foil so I don't believe they are the gold parallels missing the stamp

Sold the 2 I pulled I remember Bo Diaz was one not sure who the other one was

I like I opened around 3 boxes of 2009 Upper Deck not sure if there is a difference between Hobby and Retail. I have way to many silver foil cards to believe it was some kind of mistake. I add more of the silver and golds that I have of the SAME card. I also have several more silvers but don't have the gold to go along with them. Also added a scan of the gold parallels.

GOLD PARALLELS (silver front with gold foil also numbered to 99 on the front)

I've opened tons and tons of both retail and hobby 2009 UD, and I've never seen this before. I suspect that UD fed the wrong sheets into the stamper at some point, and ended up with the Gold parallel cards stamped with the base card foil. The boxes you cracked might be all from the same production run. This is all a wild guess on my part, but it makes sense to me.

You'd probably get some good money for that Griffey silver, if these are as rare/unknown as they seem.

Just wanted to see if anyone has any other kind of information. Also here are the scans of the other cards in question I just don't have the "gold verision to go with them

DeliciousBacon · Dec 31, 2012

I still have no idea, but I'm assuming they have to be some kind of mistake. If you decide to move them, I'd be interested in the Lowe, Baldelli, and Jeremy Reed.

I'd be interested in the Motte if you move it.

I only opened half a box or so of loose packs and never got the silvers. Probably what DB said about the printing mistake, that seems the most logical. If you are selling them at some point, I'd be interested in the Oliver Perez, Franklin Gutierrez and Endy Chavez.

toadfan106 · Dec 31, 2012

I have been wondering about these for a couple of years. I opened about 15 boxes of retail over the last couple of years and only three boxes had them and I got either 1 or 2 per pack. It seems like it is all or nothing when it comes to these silvers - the box either has them or they don't, and I think all of the boxes that I bought were the 24 pack/18 cards per pack variety.

I really think these are another parallel, not just misprinted gold /99 since, as one of the other posters said, they have silver foil on them rather than the gold foil the cards /99 have.
