Maybe this doesn't follow the intention (pack pulled only?), and if so I'll delete it. 18 year old Miguel Cabrera, in his heavily accented English, was trying to tell me this wasn't him. I had him sign it anyway as it was the only card I had and didn't know it was an ERR card.

That’s a really funny and cool story 24 years later, and I’m willing to bet that at some point (1) he stopped signing these and/or (2) people stopped asking him to sign them.

Definitely belongs - I’ve never seen one before.

Btw - he even had a nice sig at 18. Respect that

Choosing this because it's one of the few non-serial numbered cards I own and I highly doubt anyone else has a rare Ray Lankford collection laying around

This one isn't tremendously scarce, and I know folks on Net54 have nicer ones. But not a ton of Shag Hindu variations floating around.

Lots of rarities in here! I’ll post this anyway, even knowing that magicpapa could have come in here and matched it. 1998 Select Jersey Numbers 3 Star. Not numbered, though it was supposed to be /50.

Figured I'd also throw out a Mirror Gold. Not many of these floating around. Stated print run of 30.



And for this one, I'll cheat because the high series prototypes don't have serial numbers and are believed to be only one in existence.

I love this - people are bringing a LOT to the table.

Here’s one from me - it’s a redemption for a 1954 Topps Johnny Schmitz from Topps’ 50th anniversary vintage program. The cards from ‘52-54 were slightly oversized and wouldn’t fit into packs, so redemptions were offered.

Never seen another or heard of anyone to know of the redemption process from 2001 (unlike 1991).

Trivial and likely not worth much - but extremely scarce.

Rough autograph but it's the only signed copy I've seen to date. Olin died in a Spring Training boating accident in '93 so there was a short window for these to be signed. I also have a '93 Topps but I've seen a few of those before. In fact, I've personally owned 3 of the 93 Topps but sold 2 of them. Topps was obviously a more widely collected brand though.

The stadium giveaway that was never given away. I've never seen another.


Giancarlo Stanton DAV Giveaway rookie

And then my super rare Mike Trout DAV pre-rookie. It's a PSA 8 but I don't seem to have a post-grading picture of it.

I could have sworn someone had this card or similar a while back. I have no idea how many were made. Not numbered

From a stadium give away set. Got the set when my wife were dating and went to see her dad in Seattle.

great thread! I'm in...

first up - Donruss Crusade unreleased. Crusades were the first 90s insert set I fell in love with when I got back into collecting. For those who don't know, the Pinnacle Bankruptcy prevented the formal release of a "series 2" of the Crusade cards. these unreleased cards are believed to have 1 Red, 1 Purple, and 2 Green copies in existence.

I'll post my 1998 Select bankruptcy cards next!
