2007 Artifacts 1/1... real?

[VizquelCollector.com]

This isn't real, is it? Doesn't seem to be listed but it looks pretty good. Stupid place for the 1 of 1 if it's real.

It's real. The holofoil name and 1/1 stamp are only difference from base. They did basketball like this.

Wow. The "1 of 1" is in a silly place, and I've never heard of this card before. Not listed on Beckett (yes, I know, I know...)

Anyone know what's it called? Seems like it would be a parallel well-known enough to be listed?

I used to have the Alexi Casilla 1/1 way back when. I believe it was referred to as a "rainbow" version.

MaybeI am blind, but where is the 1/1 stamp?

Also,why the hell would they make the name and stamp that almost impossible to see/read?

The stamp looks like the same stamping UD used on the 1/1s from 2007 Exquisite, which are clear if you see the card from a proper angle. The picture of that Bay is at angle, and the lighting looks bad, so it doesn't shine like it should.

To me, the border/frame is an incredibly awkward and unaesthetic place to highlight that this is a 1 of 1. It looks like an afterthought, so much so that I initially thought it was actually an aftermarket card.

Well, the set itself is pretty damn ugly, so the 1/1's would naturally be extra-ugly.

2007 ARTIFACTS PLATINUM

They were sent the checklist back in 2008 = unfortunately staff turnover resulted in no updates. One of numerous sets from the 2007-2008 range that are a disaster in multiple sports.

Thanks a lot, much appreciated!

I couldn't see the stamp either.So staff turnover is why it was cut so horribly?
