Nice job on that Ripken! What you have is the gold status /24, not the actual status card. The actual status card is /8 (Ripken's jersey #) and he has one in 2004 Donruss Elite (it's blue) and 2005 Donruss Elite (it's red). Status cards are a royal pain to find since they are serial #ed to a player's jersey #, which for most superstar players is a low #.

Another side note - the players Aspirations card and the Status card always add up to 100 total serial #ed cards.

Nice Joey - I didn't even know a sample like that existed. At first I thought you meant the show embossed variety. Nice find! Any idea if this exists for other players?

Bernie must've been Pacific's chosen one in 2000... I have a Bernie Fielder's Choice gold glove with the same embossed "Sample"

Yes, they exist. Besides the Bernie's, I know I had Pudge, Sosa, Andruw, and few others that I can't think or right now. May have a few left. I had one of the Gold Glove player Samples too, but I can't recall the player right now. I'll post up any I can find if I still have any.

I had no idea that they had HoloView versions of the Title Waves cards from 2001 Elite. In quick ebay searching, they all look the same. Makes me wonder how many Holoviews I have passed up. I wish there was a list made that says "this card is exactly the same except for one difference that can only be told if the seller takes a decent enough picture, and takes the time to list the serial number, because if its the first hundred or so of a print run it is a different card". Kind of goes along with how they would die cut the beginning print run of a card. I guess I need to really study my checklist, even though that doesnt tell you details. It just lists it as another card.
