After the discussion last week, can anyone post the rundown of exactly how many "Masterpiece" cards are available for each year of 97, 98, and 99 Flair Showcase?

If we are igoring what Beckett currently lists, is should be this:

1997 Flair Showcase Masterpiece STY
1997 Flair Showcase Masterpiece GRA
1997 Flair Showcase Masterpiece SHOW

1998 Flair Showcase Masterpiece Row 0
1998 Flair Showcase Masterpiece Row 1
1998 Flair Showcase Masterpiece Row 2
1998 Flair Showcase Masterpiece Row 3

1999 Flair Showcase Legacy Masterpiece Row 1
1999 Flair Showcase Legacy Masterpiece Row 2
1999 Flair Showcase Legacy Masterpiece Row 3

Thats what I was thinking. I noticed Beckett lists 1999 as having 4. (like this)
1999 Flair Showcase Legacy Masterpiece Row 1
1999 Flair Showcase Legacy Masterpiece Row 2
1999 Flair Showcase Legacy Masterpiece Row 3
1999 Flair Showcase Masterpiece

I assume this is incorrect and all Masterpieces are "Legacy" cards? Not that any of this matters much as I will consider myself lucky to see ONE of them in my lifetime :lol:

Mine, pulled off of beckett as well, lists the Ripkens as this:

1999 Flair Showcase Legacy Collection Row 1 8 Cal Ripken $50.00 $120.00
1999 Flair Showcase Legacy Collection Row 2 8 Cal Ripken $50.00 $120.00
1999 Flair Showcase Legacy Collection Row 3 8 Cal Ripken $50.00 $120.00
1999 Flair Showcase Legacy Masterpiece Row 1 8 Cal Ripken N/A N/A
1999 Flair Showcase Legacy Masterpiece Row 2 8 Cal Ripken N/A N/A
1999 Flair Showcase Legacy Masterpiece Row 3 8 Cal Ripken N/A N/A
1999 Flair Showcase Measure of Greatness 12 Cal Ripken $20.00 $50.00
1999 Flair Showcase Row 1 8 Cal Ripken $15.00 $40.00
1999 Flair Showcase Row 2 8 Cal Ripken $4.00 $10.00
1999 Flair Showcase Row 3 8 Cal Ripken $1.50 $4.00

Take it for what it's worth. Their checklists are full of errors, as we all know.

Things must be getting more effed up in that database over there since the last changeover. A search for "1999 showcase ripken" yields these results:
1999 Flair Showcase Row 3 #8 Cal Ripken
1999 Flair Showcase Row 2 #8 Cal Ripken
1999 Flair Showcase Row 1 #8 Cal Ripken
1999 Flair Showcase Legacy Collection Row 3 #8 Cal Ripken
1999 Flair Showcase Legacy Collection Row 2 #8 Cal Ripken
1999 Flair Showcase Legacy Collection Row 1 #8 Cal Ripken
1999 Flair Showcase Legacy Masterpiece Row 3 #8 Cal Ripken
1999 Flair Showcase Legacy Masterpiece Row 2 #8 Cal Ripken
1999 Flair Showcase Legacy Masterpiece Row 1 #8 Cal Ripken
1999 Flair Showcase Measure of Greatness #12 Cal Ripken
1999 Flair Showcase Masterpiece #8 Cal Ripken
1999 Flair Showcase Legacy Collection #8 Cal Ripken

The search results make it appear as though there is 4, but clicking on the set details, etc. it clearly states 3. Odd and yet not at all surprising from the "Hobby's #1 Source for Information". I don't mind or fault them for the mistakes/discrepancies/non-uniformity of listings, but it would be nice to see them cleaned up a bit. Unfortunately as you alluded to, its still the best starting point

I think this one slipped under the radar a bit because it wasn't listed as gold......and sold for $18

they are both tough to find these days.. I actually had the gold version long before the silver version which I just added a few months back.

These are bigger cards? I assume they were all-star players only?
