pretty sure i've seen a thread SOMEWHERE discussing these but for the life of me i cant seem to find it now so figured i'd just go ahead and ask for any info anyone can provide....i dont have scans available at the moment , but i'll try to describe these as best i can and get pics up later if needed....
over the years i've seen plenty samples and promos in both baseball and football that had the word sample , the word promo , or a generic serial number (such as xxxx/2000) in a small font stamped in silver or gold on the card ......occasionally , i've seen a seller or two on ebay offering a large quantity of the same cards but whose stamp uses a vastly different font (both in size and type)....
recently lodisportscards ran a ton of these on ebay....the leaf limited cards all featured the word SAMPLE in a large gold foil stamp while the leaf rookies and stars cards all featured the word PROMO in the same large font ....
i did snag a FEW , but i was hesitant to pick up too many because i seem to recall at least some people questioning the legitimacy of these cards...
soooo..can anyone out there offer up ANY info on them ? legit or not ? if so , any idea on distribution method and approximate print run ?
thanks in advance for any help....
