Honestly, I'll remove my snipe. You should go for it. As a Justice collector, this is probably not coming around again anytime soon.

I tend to agree with this here... there are some Belle cards which I know if they ever spiked on eBay that I would have to pull up my big boy pants and go after because you're just not going to see them more than once in your life probably. That all said, if you don't have the funds, then just save a picture of it and don't lose sleep over it. I learned a while ago that I'm not going to be able to win EVERY Belle card...

Probably never... I usually don't say that but odds are whoever buys this one will have it locked away in a PC black hole.

I appreciate it guys. I just can't spend that kind of dough on a card right now. I generally stretch the limits of my budget every month as it is, I have a three year old and a mortgage. Not to mention a wife whose patience I test regularly. My plans for selling items has never gone as well as planned, so I have to accept that there are just some items I'm not meant to have. Even after 24 years its a tough lesson to learn whether you're in this hobby or not.
I hope the card sells for five grand. The way I see it, the more high end prices his stuff sells for, and the higher the prices, the more value there is to my extensive collection. So at least there's that.

My above comment notwithstanding, if your snipe wins I'll come strong with a trade or partial sale/trade offer.

If these cards were never released, and no one has ever seen other players cards except the few shown here, whats stopping people from making their own versions and trying to pass them off as long lost never released cards?

Cool to see another one of these to pop up. I agree with Man's Game that you have to come strong with tough ones like this but sometimes the scarcity/price prohibits you from winning. I hope more continue to surface in the future!

Good question. With the sales of some sports cards, I have questioned why fake sports cards have not become a much larger problem. Especially with slabbed RCs of the greats, etc. I mean if someone can make fake currency, making a fake Jordan RC or '52 Mantle has to be cake... especially if they make it fake in a slab where you can't touch the card or whatever. Just scary.

An Ozzie Smith has been confirmed, but the entire checklist should mirror the regular 1995 Pinnacle Pin Redemption set:

A Ripken exists, but the seller pulled it from the lot I purchased and sold it elsewhere even though I had purchased the Thomas from him. Too bad for him, I'm sure he sold it for less than $100, and it's easily a 4-figure card.

I love seeing an old thread get new life. If you get the chance to pick up your player from this extremely rare set do your best to make it happen. One of my favorite Ozzie cards.

Since I got most my info from here. I think I cracked the checklist. I was looking at the Team Pinnacle Dufex cards and I noticed if you went back, front, back, front Ozzie would be 9 and Justice 15. Then I noticed Griffey 14, Thomas 6, and all known numbers fit right in the pattern. So speculative checklist:
PPC1 Greg Maddux
PPC2 Mike Mussina
PPC3 Mike Piazza
PPC4 Carlos Delgado
PPC5 Jeff Bagwell
PPC6 Frank Thomas
PPC7 Craig Biggio
PPC8 Roberto Alomar
PPC9 Ozzie Smith
PPC10 Cal Ripken Jr.
PPC11 Matt Williams
PPC12 Travis Fryman
PPC13 Barry Bonds
PPC14 Ken Griffey Jr
PPC15 David Justice
PPC16 Albert Belle
PPC17 Tony Gwynn
PPC18 Kirby Puckett

I'll bet your right about the checklist. I remember this thread from years ago and it was fun to catch up on it. And, I'm adding PPC8 to my checklist of Robbie Alomar cards I'll never see
