Great pickup on the RJ. I don't care where those so-called back doored cards came from. They are amazing!!!!!!!!!

I don't have a problem with the back-doored 1/1s. I picked one up myself recently of Sandy Alomar Jr.

Of course, as much as I like that one, it does not hold a candle to this card that I just recently received:

I now have all three of the Crusade cards.
The guy selling the backdoored '99 Ultimate Victory non-numbered 1/1 parallels finally put the RJ up for auction and I snagged it for a fair price I thought, unless he has a dozen more copies. Nevertheless its rare and superfractor-like so I'm glad to own it.

Very nice...I've been going back and forth on the Jay Bell for the last couple weeks, but I just don't know if I can justify $75 on a backdoored (or whatever) card. The odds I ever find the real one are so slim, I feel like it may be worth it.
This was the thinking that eventually lead me to splurge on mine. No idea if I would ever see the real one.
You mean this redemption card?

I don't have any idea how many of these were redeemed. I don't think they are exceptionally rare. I have seen a number of the redeemed cards for sale. Far fewer of the redemption cards. Mine is the only one I have ever seen. I bought this off of COMC. I have had the redeemed card quite a bit longer.
Thats the one! Curious, where does it say they need to be redeemed?

It lists a bunch of what I assume are hobby stores on the back in Ohio as places to redeem it.
I love this thread! I go away for a few years and this bad boy is still on the front page! I'm going to have to scan my latest Matt Williams inserts now.
1998 Topps Gallery Printing Plate Back Magenta. First Cirillo pickup in forever and my first '98 plate. Sweet, even if it is a back plate

The guy actually listed some for auction... 99 cents and no reserve. I was able to get my guy (Mo Vaughn) for under $40. The ones he's unable to sell for his BIN, I expect to see at auction. Be patient. (a few lesser names sold for under $10)
