Great stuff Tanner (other than calling the 1997 Diamond 1996 ). I love that card, the 24kt and the Legends Die Cut. They are great and tough cards. I regret moving my Essential Credential a few years ago as I haven't been able to recoup it.

Tanner those Cansecos are legit man! I really like the Inside Edition! Tried real hard on the A-Rod a month ago but it went for a hefty amount.

HOLY WOW! 1992 Ace Prototype oversized blankback/fronts were just listed on eBay. Lots of players mentioned on these threads. Clark, Canseco, Griffey, Dawson, etc.

Anyone else watching this Griffey Crusade Red auction? I was really excited to see what this thing would do in an auction, but it seems sort of tampered with now.

I've watched , we'll see how it looks on the end. Can't tell what's legit or not.

I thought I saw a 7,000 bid, and then a 6,900 bid? Now it's 6,800?

An Uncut Sheet of these just sold for $25 back on July 9. I wonder if these are the same ones just cut out.

The feedback ratings are both 6494. Pretty good odds.

Yes these are the cards that were cut from that sheet.

 

[Matthew J Burrows]

Thank you! So happy to have one back in my collection again Now to find the 97 Power Alley & Die Cut along with the 98 Team Pinnacle Gold!

Yes these are the cards that were cut from that sheet.

Are they tough to find? I've never heard of them. Is the only thing that makes it a "proof" is the fact that it was "oversized"?

I'm guessing if you have a sheet, you can cut them to whatever size you want.

[MENTION=11496]goobmcnasty[/MENTION], the standard versions of these cards are extremely difficult to find. It took me about 16 or 17 years to find and buy the 4 different Puckett cards from the release.

There appears to be very little to no information about the available players from the release and a lot of collectors seem to be seeing their players for the first time. With that said, I think that these blank back/fronts even more difficult to find than the standard versions.

I've been collecting Puckett cards for nearly 30 years and have seen the standard version of these cards on want lists that I found online or recieved from other collectors over the years. I couldn't find any info about them or pictures anywhere until I found my first one in '98 or '99 on eBay. I then found the other three from private collectors who sold off their collections, the last two I bought in 2011. The cards have always been notated as "prototypes" on every list I've ever seen. The company who made them was attempting to get a MLB license, but was unsuccessful. These cards where supposed to be prototypes used in that attempt to secure the license to make/sell them. Since they failed, the cards were supposed to be destroyed, but some made their way into the market. Which ones, who knows, how many, who knows...

I believe proof was used on these since they appear to be unfinished or perhaps an actual proof of some sort because of the blank back/front versions of the cards on the sheet they were cut from.

You're right though a sheet can be cut to any size and the term "proof" is often attached to them, right or wrong...

I posted pictures of my 4 Puckett's on the promo/sample thread if you care to see them. These cards have always intrigued me!!!
