Quick question: What's the basic background on the Crusade Prototypes? I recently bought a red prototype for much, MUCH less than a serial numbered red crusade and was wondering if anyone could shed some light on them.

Thanks.

That's okay. Me neither. They never quite impressed me very much. Still need one though.

If you bought it from the guy on ebay who had 25 red "prototypes" listed then it isn't a prototype. It's just an unnumbered crusade.

I'm pretty sure Prototypes have a card number over 130 and have the oppisite background than the regular set. For instance, Mcgwire has a call to arms in the regular set, but the regular crusade background prototype and the card is numbered 189. Gracecollector had a really nice write up about the prototypes in his blog but it keeps showing page not found, maybe someone has it saved somewhere.

thanks. I wasn't sure, but am not worried about it now that I have both for my guy.

 

[Fandruw25]

Only need one more sample set after these..

Do you know how many of these crusades went unnumbered?

Not sure, the guy only had cards 101-130 and he listed a couple batches of reds. I asked him about some the other colors or cards 1-100 and he said he hadn't seen any.

I love how this picture was taken the same game as this one(look at the pants,uniform,glasses,outfield wall)

 

[Russ S.]

OK, how about the '98 SPX COG Radiance /100....

 

[Phish]

You guys think I can score a good grade on this one?

 

[thenumberonemetfan]

Centering left/right isnt too good

 

[Phish]

Centering left/right isnt too good

I saw that too. I was hoping that no refractor lines would make it better, but I don't think I could get a PSA 9.

PSA doesn't seem to strict when it comes to centering(with the exception of certain sets).Fandruw has a psa 10 precious metals that has terrible centering

One reason I cannot stand PSA. Centering is a PRIMARY factor in card condition. They pretty much just disregard it.
