This one I'm assuming is a 1993 card.

Not really sure on this 1. I think it might be the Silver Sig #406, but without the Sig? It's exactly like the regular #406, but with the silver L.A. Dodgers silver foil.

I know that there's a 1997 Score The Franchise card, but I've never seen one of the "Sample" cards, or have it on my checklist. Anyone know what product they put this card out with?

This card has a blank back. I think it's the 05 Sweet Spot, but can some one verify?

This is an Albert Pujols Freshman Fabric Blank Back, and is about 1 1/2" x 2". No clue as to what it is.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

The piazza looks like 2004, but the Red/White stitch should only be numbered to /20.

Right, that's why I thought it might be the 05. The 06 didn't have the Black ink auto, just the blue.

This is the 2005, which is #d to 25

Yours is definitely the 2004 design.

As for the collectors choice I think someone just hot stamped the dodgers logo on it.

Thanks. Can't imagine some one would go to all the trouble of stamping it for a card that wouldn't bring a $1 at auction.

Where did you find the pic of that Piazza?

That trailer park at 130 and 168
The Collectors Choice Silver Signature Team CL cards all have the team logos in silver foil on the front rather than the signature of the player pictured. I have other team cards with the logos in silver like that.

Can't help with any of the others though.

Found the pic on Beckett. In the 90's it seemed like a lot of stuff would show up with wierd stamps on them at shows, something just enough different that you'd pay a couple bucks for a .10 card.

The Pujols is strange too. I can't find anything resembling it for any player. Here's the normal one

This is the green/emerald version and there isn't a dual memorabilia freshman fabric card in the set for anyone. At any size, I also noticed that you see the 4 black dots on the top and bottom of yours, but not the base one from teh set. Is it possible that this was a throwback insert from a later set?

Yep, I missed it.

The Piazza just looks off too. I think you may have gotten ahold of a few mock ups or custom cards. The border is white instead of black, there isn't a trademark to the right of the sweetspot logo, and the numbering looks quite a bit different.

I don't think so because the back is blank, and it's only 1 1/2" x 2". Also, after looking at the card with my loupe, the area where the white jersey piece goes, it looks like there's some kind of writing but can't quite make it out. The area where the black jersey goes has a screen like image on it. It does says Jersey and Balling glove, which I would assume, should say Batting glove.

I would guess the Piazza blank back and Pujols blank back were some sort of sell sheet example from the card company. I really have no idea, though.

I'm thinking handcut sell sheet as well.

There are football 2001 Leaf Certified that look just like your Pujols. Maybe yours was a mockup for baseball that never made it.

I think the first "1993" card is just one of those cheap unlicensed cards that popped up a lot back then. It doesn't even have a company name anywhere.

Thanks Roy. After seeing that card, I believe you and a couple of others are right. It had to be some kind of mock up that just never came about. Maybe that's why the backs are blank. Seems like a nice pc item for some one that wants ALL Pujols stuff.

Now I just need to figure out about the other 2 cards.

I was thinking along those lines, but I would think that there would have been more players put out, and that some one would have run across them by now, and would have alittle bit of info on them.

I think it sounds like something you could seriously cash in on.
