Well, it's the most expensive card I've ever purchased, but I love it, and its nice to mark something off my Top 5 Most Wanted List. I don't have a scanner guys, this is the best I can do. Regular card next to it for scale.

ajw · Feb 12, 2010

Yeah, if that's your sort of thing...

BunchOBull · Feb 12, 2010

Congrats. I hope to be in your shoes one day.

Just a word of advice; top loaders are not archival safe on there own, but they make 5"x7" mylar sleeves for post cards. Might be worth the $8 bucks to invest in a pack.

clarkfan · Feb 12, 2010

Crap! Anyone have an extra to spare me? I definitely want to get this into a sleeve then.

ronfromfresno · Feb 12, 2010

Great pick up Nolan, I think I'm getting less back in taxes then you spent on that card though. :lol:

cmixer · Feb 12, 2010

no i gotta ask - what makes this card expensive/rare ?

Gwynn545 · Feb 12, 2010

Amazing! Great pick up!!!!!! Top 5 to boot! Which card slides into the top 5 now?

clarkfan · Feb 12, 2010

Thanks guys!

As far as the next card sliding into the top 5, its probably the 1999 Upper Deck Exclusives LEVEL 2 (serially numbered to 10)

My #1 is still the same, the 1990 Score Promo. Others in the top 5 are the Bowman Chrome Gold Anniversary of 5, Donruss Aqueous Test, and Action Packed Promo (made in different versions, but I need a couple of them).

I don't know if it is just a few people fighting it out, or what. But I have seen some pretty hefty prices being realized for Will Clark stuff on the bay lately.

Clark collectors are crazy for rare stuff. Remember during the late '80's and early '90's Beckett had Clark listed at the top of their "Hot" list a lot, maybe even a couple of years straight, showing how popular Will Clark was as a player and how many people collect him. This feeds into the fact that there are several Clark collectors with deep pockets who have been waiting 20 years for some of these cards to show up.

Again great job Nolan!

tunahead · Feb 12, 2010

Great pickup! The Ripken is definitely in my top 5! May be in the top 3 now that I have the Aqueous and Blue/White test cards.

TNP777 · Feb 12, 2010

Congrats again on the pickup, Nolan!! Glad to see it arrived safely.

I believe this makes a grand total of three board-owned '92 supers. Here's to the hope that more of these start appearing on the market and into the hands of our player collectors.

They are incredibly rare, believed to be less than 10 of each player, but I've heard there's probably less than that, more like less than 5. Some people think they were Donruss salesman's samples for a set that never came to be.

magicpapa · Feb 12, 2010

i saw a justice sometime last year listed

theplasticman · Feb 12, 2010

I think it's counterfeit.

Send it to me for verification :lol:

tyweb1 · Feb 12, 2010

Since no one is answering the question, I will. It was $666.89 plus 2 for shipping.

By the way, congrats on the amazing find.

jay1065 · Feb 12, 2010

Congrats on an amazing card! Good luck with the remaining "top" list.

Jesus. Imagine what would a Griffey Jr. go for.

clarkfan · Feb 13, 2010

:lol: . . yeah Josh, if Kevin Burge was selling it, I might have been worried about authenticity, but I don't think PSA is ever gonna see this one. Only the safe gets to see this one on a regular basis.
