Awesome, I think that's one of the best-looking sets of all time. I'm only missing one (Miguel Tejada) for the A's team set:

Fixed it for ya
Of course- the change is my "personal opinion" of their prices
I'll pass= not my cup of tea just to "own" one to overpay on one
Think I paid less than $40 for mine . I see the same card up there for $299
They want to buy mine for $200 I'd sell it in a heartbeat

I'll eventually get down to my 1999 E-X series scans, but 7 years ago scanned this one
Not sure I ever picked up the NOW version, think set collectors always overpay for it and I never wanted to go over a few hundred

Also it doesn't seem to be holofoil like the 01/50 should be. Football, but the same set:

Jesus Christ I was giving an example of what the 01/50 Bonds should look like, from an example I have on hand. Calm the F down.

i remember seeing another post of a non holo 01/
not sure when/where
also with that extra 1/1 stamping would that even pass the
Authenticity Guarantee clause?

There are a few possibilities as to what the Bonds could be...
- The company messed up and made some of the 01/50's with regular foil instead of holofoil. Then somebody along the line that owned that Bonds and knew the 01/50 cards are 1/1's decided they would help others to see that this one is a 1/1 by stamping it on there.
- This was an unnumbered backdoor/replacement card and has a fraudulent 01/50 stamp.
- The company messed up and stamped two or more cards as 01/50, but still only one of those has the holofoil treatment. Then some bozo stamped 1/1 on this one.
I'd argue at best it's an error card and is not a true 1/1. The thing that made the 01/50's a 1/1 card is that they were the only cards to have holofoil. Without holofoil it's just a /50 card because it's the exact same as 02/50, 03/50, etc.
Have to agree, the prices being paid for these are just silly IMHO,

Four patently obvious issues on that Longevity ,and I bet if I had it in hand and could feel the weight of the item and its texture there would be 5 or 6. I bet @heavy_hitter knows exactly what I'm talking about on the fake signs
@Dilferules - I do like the fact you used an available example to show a proper surface- good job . Personally I couldn't care less that its a different sport shown - it shows exactly what the whole point was of the post- the holofoil is wrong.
If it sparks that "authentic or not" question folks- listen to your gut feelings
I know I certainly wouldn't pay $850 for it

Reading back on some past posts , I think someone mentioned they were looking for a Ryan Kelsko 1997 Score Premier Club
Haven't seen one lately, but I did see a Chipper Jones and quite a few others. I'll see if any of my sources has a Klesko
These recently went to PSA and I had to scan for insurance / declared value reasons
Figured I'd post in the 90's thread since I had to do the work anyways
