2005 Donruss Inside View parallel cards Theses cards were mistakenly inserted into Donruss hobby packs, but were never produced for commercial release! Donruss has been very tight lipped as to the reason the mistake was made, and to what the actual circulation is. Most everyone agrees that the total number produced is under 25!! Beckett currently lists this item as unpriced "due to scarcity", which always means big bucks to the collector.
found a little more info........... (Remember this is the internet after all) hehe

This insert set was, for reasons that still remain unclear, withdrawn from production. However, again for reasons unclear, some Inside Views made their way into packs.

Originally, each card was to have been serial-numbered to 1000 copies with a Black parallel numbered to 50. The cards that made their way into packs are NOT serial-numbered.

It appears that anywhere from five to 25 copies of each card made their way into packs.

1 Alex Rodriguez

2 Austin Kearns

3 Barry Larkin

4 C.C. Sabathia

Cool, thanks for the info. Looks like there's two more Biggios and Baldellis I need to track down!

Thank Christ there isn't a Bagwell on that list. But the cards do look pretty darn cool.

Can anyone confirm that both versions of the Barry Larkin Inside Views exist. I actually have the rainbow version but not the other one. While I'm posting, here is a cool insert from 2001 - Fleer Showcase Masterpiece. Sorry about the horrible scan. I didn't want to take it out of the case to scan it.

A buddy of mine is doing a 2005 Donruss Master set and he has all 20 base and 19 of 20 rainbow refractors. Only missing the Jeter.

So yes, the Larkin regular version exists.

Sorry - I do have one of that one, picked it up at a show last year in Cincinnati. Came to it by chance, as it isn't listed as Larkin and I didn't know it existed until I saw it. I will keep my eyes open for another one though when I go to the shows around here.

AndruwHRJones - Thanks for the confirmation. Right after I read this one was listed on EBAY!

I believe that the card you have pictured there is actually the regular 2001 Stadium Club Super Teams regular card. This card is actually number ST8 if I am not mistaken. The STP24 isn't this card. That is the much tougher to find Stadium Club Super Team Exchange card. Griffey is # STP24 in that set. Only the Diamond Backs Super Team card from that year could be sent in and redemmed for the upgraded exhange set. The exchange set looks completely different with totally different pcitures, numbering, and design. If you want to see a picture of the Griffey from this set I can direct you to one, just let me know.

Magicpapa - That would be the one. Those are some really rare cards!

Brewer Andy · Apr 11, 2012

Woot

Jack Straw · Apr 12, 2012

I feel the team card is rarer? I have seen 2 dozen of the Griffey Super Team Exchange but
maybe 2 of the team card 3 counting the one you have...

How tough are these? A guy around me that does some shows had a Jeter last time I saw him set up. He wanted around $75? I don't know much about them since Ripken wasn't in the set.

The last 30 card set that sold one Ebay went for $500, so $75 for the Jeter is pretty reasonable. The team cards were inserted something like 1:870 something packs. Multiply that by the number of teams in the MLB and the odds of pulling a winner (Diamondbacks) was astronomical. Then, the expiration date on these redemptions was very quick compared to other redemption cards. So, you have to ask yourself, how many of the Diamondbacks cards were actually redeemed? I have heard estimates od less than 100 sets in circulation, but it could be more, or a lot less, noone really knows.

Anyone ever seen another Larkin of FOTG auto like this one. It says the autos are numbered to 5 or less, and I have #1/25. Not sure if there are 5, just 1, or somewhere in between. (Sorry about the scan - it was in a screwdown)

ASTROBURN · Apr 12, 2012

^^ Did he forget his last name? Or does Larkin not sign his full name?

1st 5 of 25 are signed. At least that's how the Rickey's are. 1-5 auto, 6-25 no auto.
