Hmmm...I saw a Gwynn Aqueous before, and it was his regular card, not BC-4 like this one:
http://cgi.ebay.com/1990-DONRUSS-AQ...ards?hash=item518ba61ba7&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

I don't know but the "Aqueous" stamp looks dark on this one... Anyone? Could Gwynn have two versions?

 

[BunchOBull]

Presumably, the whole 1990 Donruss set was ran in test form. As for that Gwynn being authentic, it's good. The font is exactly what you want it to be with exactly the right placement.

edited to add: the darkness in the scan is the contrast setting of him scanner...the Maddux I purchased from him looked the same in his pictures.

The known fakes out there are aftermarket stamps in the wrong font and wrong placement.

You ever seen a Aqueous over 300?

Is that what I think it is?

I haven't...I passed on that Gwynn. I can't believe they'd do a aqueous test on a BC card.

 

[BunchOBull]

I can't say I've particularly seen an aqueous test on a card past 300, but I've seen them popping up on cards that weren't on the checklist...and they pass all of the requirements.

That Gwynn was the real deal. Sorry you passed.

As for them doing Aqueous Tests on cards numbered "BC-#," they most certainly did...

The following "BC-#" cards are on the AT checklist:

Alvin Davis MVP
Bo Jackson MVP
Dave Stewart MVP
Pedro Guerrero MVP
Tim Raines MVP
Kirby Puckett MVP

Add BC-5 to that as I have the Hershiser. It's assumed BC1-BC9 was made. One guy has 7 (Missing Puckett and Guerrero). Check out the Blue/White update on PSA. Bob added some interesting info.

What checklist are you referring too?

If you think it's a '92 Diamond Kings Super, then it is what you think it is!

As always, I must give credit to Drew (ajw). A dealer I know had it sitting in his online store for years, but I never pulled the trigger on his asking price because it was sooooo much higher than Beckett said it was 'worth'. Drew told me just how rare the things were, so I contacted the dealer and worked out a very nice price for it and a few other Butler rarities. Every time I show it off, other player collectors validate just how rare the '92 Supers are, so I know I made the right decision in picking it up.

Wow! 1992 DK super!

Thanks for the tip, I've never been to that site. Very good stuff. So at least I can be more confident it is a real card... and it seems quite rare. Thanks again.

Ooo, how did I miss this thread... I think I can find something to post. Some of the scans cut off the bottom, but I'm too lazy to fix it right now

 

[MartinFFcollector]

I've been meaning to PM you some info to answer your Blue/White question. Glad you saw it.

Oh and since others posted theirs, figured I would post mine. 1998 Select 5 Star Bonus:

Unsure what these usually sell for. '92 Super DK, $4 shipped. Although I'd be concerned with getting a creased card in a large PWE for the $1 shipping charge.

Also found a Julio Franco for under $3 shipped but asked for a pic to make sure. If so, I'll post that one here as well. NEVERMIND-NORMAL SIZED CARD ON SPORTSBUY, labeled as a Super DK.

There was a Butler listed the same way on sportlots last year. I was going to pull the trigger on it, but decided to ask questions first. Would have been cool to have two; I could have had a graded one for my registry.

I dont know much about these cards as I was away from the hobby then, but thought .30 + ship was a little too cheap.
