Mailday brought me this. It's a 2005 Topps Pristine Uncommon Personal Endorsements Uncirculated autograph. The regular uncommon PE's are numbered to /247. These Uncirculated ones are only numbered to /3, and since there are only 13 players in the set, you don't see them.

What was cool when I got the card in hand is that the background of the top part of the card has a refractor-like finish. But it's only refractorish on the black-burgundy background and the player's hat - and not the player's skin. So when you tilt the card back and forth, the hat subtly changes colors. I know, hard to describe, and it's not real shiny - but if you ever see one of these cards check it out.

My rarest Zimmer to date. Puts me at 125 of 200 Zim cards listed by Beckett. Getting there!

Very pretty and congrats on having such a large % of Zimmer cards.

Pristine has always been one of my favorite recent Topps releases.

It is encased. I scanned it in the case, then cropped the case out. It's still sealed with the Topps sticker in place.
