The serial number isn't in the right spot, and Francisco's usual card in the set is numbered to 1495. Are people really now rubbing of serial numbering, stamping their own, and then selling them?

They were given out to dealers, executives, etc. at the Hawaii Trade Conference, which hasn't been in Hawaii in years, so I have no idea why they still call it that.

There basically just autos that they renumber to a low numbering like here is the one i won recently

They usually don't sell for much (considering what they are #d to), unless of course you get someone who doesn't really know about them...

These cards are stamped by Donruss witha Black Box seal. This card is stamped just above the bat.
