Don't have a scan handy, but I picked up a Stand-Up Guys Sample Nomar/Jones/Rolen/ARod 2AB for $9.99 dlvd. Not too shabby, I think!

I don't think I ever posted this. It's donnie, it's a sample, it's a "me likely" item.

I thought I didn't have any shots of these prototypes together, but cleaning out the photo bucket today and found them. I cut them apart to sell by player and the Will Clarks sold, but nothing else did at the time. Thought I had lost photo evidence of the Clark pieces, but they are now found!

Very nice , wish I had seen the Clark's back in the day. What's your plan with the other players ?

I tried selling Larkin and Canseco art the same time, but held on to Thomas, as I was collecting him art the time and was the reason I won them in the first place. No interest in the others at the time they were listed ($9.99 per player/type=$30 for the player set), but at least one Canseco guy was asking about them periodically over the years, but no deal was struck. I want to say I got around $300+ for the Clark trio though!

They are just stashed away like everything else in my collection. When the time comes to sell, they will go with the rest of it.

Those are awesome!

If upper deck ever utilizes their mlbpa license, they should consider all three designs with two of them being short prints.

I love the middle row (in the pic w all 3) . I'm on mobile so I can't see too well , but some if the pictures are inverted right ? If you decide to sell , let me know. The $300 for the Clark's is about right w/ him . Are they on card stock ?

The "cards" are something like glossy photo paper and they are glued to a poster board.

i agree that each looked better than the final design they went with that year.

Wow, this does exist. Hadn't seen one before. Too bad guy wants $100 for it, not going anywhere near that for it.

I love it when SuperCollectors find new variations. Hope you can land it cheaper than that though

Aw hell, I bought it, after getting him to come down some. Can't find any info about the Red Back version online, seller was under the impression less than 25 exist. He had 4 at one point.

Beckett only lists two versions of these discs (the two Vance Law/Mark Grace cards as UER's), but corrected versions exist and so does a Rainier Farms version. All the other backs are white with blue print.

Did you think any of us thought you wouldn't get one ? ;) Any HTF oddball pickup is a good one in my book

Love the Grace odd-ball disc. I guess you did go "near" it... As a player collector it sure is difficult to pass up on an item we haven't seen before, even if the price is high.

Sold $300 worth of text link advertising on markgrace.com to a London-based casino last week. Made paying $75 for the red-back disc a lot easier to swallow, though it still wasn't easy. But it didn't feel like "my money," so pulled the trigger.

Personally I think it was well worth it... Love this odd-ball stuff!

New pick ups, but what are they? They aren't from Beckett or dealer sent to.
