The Super Sweet Early 00's Thread

Now I know more... it's 2001 Donruss Longball Leaders - the Seasonal Sum versions are serial numbered to that player's HR total from 2000. There's a Giambi and Edmonds on Beckett Marketplace.

Was just looking around the Pacific Website on the Internet Wayback Machine and say this. 2000 Pacific Invincible Wild Vinyl #5 Sammy Sosa. #'d 10/10. Probably a mock up but you just don't see these too often.

Those are out there! There was an Arod (or was it Jeter?) up for auction a year or 2 back which was discussed in one of the previous 90s threads. Sweet cards. Anything about 98 Online Winners mentioned on the wayback machine?

Here are the official rules. About the only thing I could garner was that there were 20 3rd prizes which was a complete set of Pacific Online -- was this where the Online Winners came from? If so, that's why these could be so tough to find. There could be people that have these sets who just assume that their set is just a regular online set and not anything special.

Edit - the first prize was crap -- wow an online chat session with a MLB player (worth approx $100 when the 2nd and 3rd prizes were valued at more).

Just scored this on COMC:

Last year I picked up the base and the reflective version of the Rafael Palmeiro, and this reflective Rocco popped up tonight. I almost broke my mouse hitting the Buy button!

 

[AUTaxMan]

Is there any difference in the scarcity of the two variations?

I don't know exact numbers, but the reflectives are supposed to be significantly scarcer than the already-scarce non-reflectives.

What's the story behind those? Are they all backdoored?

What's the story behind those? Are they all backdoored?

This is from a few months back, when I picked up my Palmeiros:

2005 Donruss Inside View parallel cards Theses cards were mistakenly inserted into Donruss hobby packs, but were never produced for commercial release! Donruss has been very tight lipped as to the reason the mistake was made, and to what the actual circulation is. Most everyone agrees that the total number produced is under 25!! Beckett currently lists this item as unpriced "due to scarcity", which always means big bucks to the collector.
found a little more info........... (Remember this is the internet after all) hehe

This insert set was, for reasons that still remain unclear, withdrawn from production. However, again for reasons unclear, some Inside Views made their way into packs.

Originally, each card was to have been serial-numbered to 1000 copies with a Black parallel numbered to 50. The cards that made their way into packs are NOT serial-numbered.

It appears that anywhere from five to 25 copies of each card made their way into packs.

Burbank dropped the price on 5/7 almost 70% in the last year so I figured what the heck it looks good with the others

Wow... Now that's awesome

 

[BunchOBull]

Not the best centering in the world, but that's pretty common with this issue. Still a tough one.
