Frank Thomas collectors thread

Can you tell the difference between the redemption and the redeemed. I bought this lot at the last minute and didn't have the time to ask. If its the redeemed I guess I have 2, if it's the redemption I have the rainbow.

The redeemed has a summery of the player but the redemption has mail in instructions which came in the packs.

Looks like the redeemed version, not the unredeemed. It is tough to tell though. I looked back at mine and the unredeemed has some gloss on Frank, while the redeemed has no gloss. The unredeemed of mine is ever so slightly darker.

Thanks. I was looking and it looked just like my redeemed. I took a chance anyways as it breaks down that I only paid around $7.35 for each card. I wanted to collect the set so now I guess I am pretty far along.

Yes I was wanting to do the redeemed gold medallions set. I guess I should have said I don't have the cards yet and I know how to tell from the backs but I was just wondering if there was any way you could tell from just looking at the front, like glossiness of the photo, logo placement, etc. I guess I'll just have to wait for them to come in the mail to find out.

This is taken straight from Lance's website. I also think a few other Thomas collectors have them.

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]1996 Ultra Home Run King Gold Medallion
A favorite among OCD Syndrome sufferers like myself. Lots and lots of variations of this card with equal amounts of difficult ancillary material.

This particular version is the Unredeemed Gold Medallion Exchange Card. And according to Fleer - GMs represented 10% of the total production. The question was: What was the total production for '96 Ultra? [/FONT]

Hey guys. I'm going to start a Frank collectors group. I'm new to these groups but I thought it would be nice to get all of us to join up. I'll post the link when I'm done.

 

[thefatguy]

So looks like not only can we have a thread, but we can have Group threads as well!!

http://www.freedomcardboard.com/forum/group.php?groupid=7

I'll be adding some pics (if we can) and maybe starting a few threads on there. It would be nice to have separate Auto/Sig, GU, Memorabilia, RC, Graded threads, Rarities, etc.

It's a public group, so join away!
