Need value help on a rare Carl Crawford 1/1 auto...

[tommyfro21]

I picked this up the other day for a decent price and really don't know much about it. The corners aren't perfect on it, but the overall condition of the card is pretty good.

It is authentic and clearly marked 1/1, but I don't believe it is even listed on Beckett...and if it is, I couldn't find it. No year listed on the back. The text is very hard to read due to the background, but it simply says "Congratulations. You have received a limited edition autograph card of Carl Crawford."

Any ideas on what this may be worth as well as the actual year and listing information on it? Thanks in advance for the help!

The card design is from 2000 Just Minors Gold Autographs. However, I'm not sure that card was made in 2000, it may have been made later or inserted into packs in a later Just Minors product.

I never thought about it being an insert in another year, but I guess that would be possible.

Here is the 1999 auto version. It has a different picture on the front, but the front design and back look similar to the 1/1.

Interestingly though, it has the same picture as the 2000 Just card.

Congrats on the pick up. I thought that was a great price.

Wow great card; thanks for posting. I know Zambrano has 2 different golds in the 2000 set so it is nice to see an actual gold as I was never really sure what they were exactly. Like other people said it should be from either the 1999 or 2000 set.

Haha...I almost forgot to check back to see if the seller had answered my post that day. Then I saw you were next in line and he was going to sell it to you if I didn't respond that night. I'm glad I checked back when I did.

And I agree, he wasn't asking very much for a 1/1 auto so I figured it was worth the small risk to buy it and see what I could get out of it later.

 

[tommyfro21]

So no one has any idea on a possible value for this?

I guess it makes it a little harder when we can't even figure out what year it is...

I thought he was a little quick to offer it up to me so quick. I only wanted it if you passed. No idea on it's value but seemed like a easy flip. I was going to contact you on here and got sidetracked. Went back there and you responded. Glad you got it. Congrats again.

This one in Beckett has the same card number and says "Item has no pricing," suggesting it is rare. But doesn't specifically list it as a 1/1. My guess as to what it is.

Is the closest I could find.

As far as value, no idea.

 

[tommyfro21]

I'd say that's probably the best guess so far. I wonder why it would be a 2001 with a 1999 style and a 2000 image....go figure.

You spoke the truth on that one. I usually check once a day and that's it since the new threads don't cycle off of the 1st page very fast.

pretty sure its 2000. i found this set in the beckett with the same BA prefix, but then in the checklist some of the cards are missing.

The numbering makes sense now that I see this. I wanted to make sure I knew exactly what it was so whenever I decided to list it, I had the right info on it. Thanks for the help.
