luck15hope - Thanks for the very thorough explanation with proof photos and everything. I think your theory is spot on. I too believe his card is a misprinted version of the superfractor card that was never supposed to have been inserted in packs but somehow (perhaps stuck to another card) made it in anyway.
davepeters239 - You really can't complain about his logic regardless of what you or anyone else thinks the card is. I have been following this thread and although I agree with many others that you are in some ways very annoying, if you are an Arod supercollector or know someone who is, this is probably a card that they would love to have in their collection. It's probably a card that they would pay handsomely for just because of what it was meant to be. Obviously you cannot put a value on a 1/1 card becasue it is only worth what someone will pay for it. A very intereseting card to have in your collection now that you have what I think is the correct background to how the card must have come about. I can't think of any other reasoning for it to be available. I do agree though that you should not have rated a replacement for it because you did not pull it from a pack nor were you required to offer the same proof that everyone else has to provide (reciept, upc, etc). I think Topps offered you a replacement for it because they realized the confusion it would cause (which it did) just in order to get it off the street.

so I stopped about 225 posts in and I'll catch up later.
OP there are 3 of these listed on COMC (one being mine) ITG lists it as 10 copies, beckett lists it as 1/1. So what do I have then? Heroes & Prospects Baseball "Hits" Series One[enable]/0/ Heroes Game-Used Jersey (160 Silver, 10 Gold) HM-12 Johnny Bench 2011 ITG Heroes and Prospects Heroes Jerseys Gold #12 Johnny Bench | Beckett.com 2011 ITG Heroes and Prospects Heroes Jerseys Gold #12 - Johnny Bench - COMC ![]() Courtesy of COMC.com ![]() Courtesy of COMC.com ![]() Courtesy of COMC.com I also had an Edgerrin James card that was supposed to be auto'ed but it wasn't. It was part of a sell off from whatever company had gone out of business and was placed in retail resale boxes. I think I got $5 for it. I've received a card from Score that was supposed to be autographed, I sent it back and they slabbed a sticker on it. That didn't make it a 1/1 in either case. not sure why this whole thing is so hard to figure out.

Here you go Dave.:
"Michael, Our OPG lists the card as a: 2005 Bowman Chrome A-Rod Throwback Autographs #94AR A.Rodriguez 1994 SF/1 But is missing the auto. Any cards that were clearly marked as manufacturer-certified autographs, but the auto is missing, we clearly mark as MISSING AUTO. We did exactly what we should have done on this card. I have no idea where these came from, but they are clearly real Topps cards not intended for release, but still real cards nonetheless. We clearly labeled it as Missing Sticker and Missing Autograph and never say it was a 1/1. If the question is whether the SF/1 card exists autographed, that is a Price Guide question - I have no idea. But no, this gentleman’s card is not a 1/1. There is no way to 100% know how many are out there. If someone doesn’t list it for sale, or grade it how can you know. It could be in a kid’s binder. Hope I helped. Have a great Superbowl weekend, Charles Charles Stabile | Eastern Regional Sales Manager of Beckett Grading Services#@| Beckett Media LLC" There we go. Your entire basis of thinking this is a 1/1 is the Becket label saying its a /1. You have just read an email from a Beckett Grading rep stating your card is NOT a 1/1. /thread |

I think the best thing for me to do is contact both Topps and Beckett to find out if a superfractor version was ever really made. If they say yes a superfractor was made then I will have to ask what this card is or what they think this card is. I would think someone at Topps would know for sure either way. Thanks for all the work you put into this and I will let you know what I find out. |

I never wanted a replacement in the begining I just wanted the card fixed and set out to do so with Topps knowing about it. When I was able to get arod to sign it for me Topps all of a sudden backed off and said no we won't add stickers t the card. I wish they would have said that from the beginning but they did not. As I have said maybe they didn't think I would be able to get ahold of arod or get him to agree to sign it, I don't know. If Topps really did care and wanted the card off the streets they would have offered me a fair trade for it in my opinion. I guess right now I have to find out more information again from Topps and then I can go from there. |

I have never seen those cards and don't know anything about them so it would be unfair for me to comment. You should maybe make a separate post asking here in the baseball forum and someone might know more about them. If you do post a new thread I will be sure to follow as I am curious now. |

This person contradicts themselves. He clearly states that this is the card that is indeed listed in their population report as the 2005 Bowman Chrome A-Rod Throwback Autographs #94AR A.Rodriguez 1994 SF/1 card. Now that /1 does not mean only one has been graded, it means there is only 1 card like that or a 1/1. He then goes on to say that my card is not a 1/1. He doesn't say he thinks it's probably not a 1/1 but it seems he is pretty sure it is not a 1/1. How he knows this and seems to present it as fact seems wrong to me. He also goes on to say that these were not intended for release but again how can he know that for sure? He also says he is not sure where this card came from but all he would have to do is check the Beckett archives to see this very same card was in the December 2005 issue in the readers writes section. To be fair though the person who emailed him probably did not tell him that part. Had he been able to check he would know where this card came from, a pack. So if you don't mind I have a few follow up questions for Mr Stabile. I guess the first question obviously would be if someone else sends in a card like this as we have someone here on the forum who claims they have one what would happen? Would there then be 2 entries in the population report for a card listed as /1? Then what of someone sends in a true superfractor version of this card (still not sure if one exists or not) would there then be 3 in the population report for a card listed as only being /1? Next question would be if my card is an error or as they put it missing the autograph and serial numbers which is basically the same thing as an error then why was it listed in the population report as the 2005 Bowman Chrome A-Rod Throwback Autographs #94AR A.Rodriguez 1994 SF/1 knowing that someone else might send in the same card or the correct version someday? Last I would be very much interested in why he sad not intended for release. Does he know a bit more about this card or these cards or is he just saying oh it doesn't have an autograph so it shouldn't have been released? Either way I think Beckett and BGS will eventually have to add this card as an error to their checklist and they will have to correct the label on my card if we find out from Topps a superfractor version was indeed made. Thanks for emailing them and thanks for the help with this. |

It could be that they originally intended to make just chrome versions, and then switched it to a 1/1, and in the process sent off the wrong things to the printer, and ended up with a bunch of regular chrome cards with 1/1 placeholders on them. I'm not sure Topps is gonna remember this happening 5-6 years later unfortunately. I wish the guy with another version would just post the back of his, but I'm not convinced he even has one anymore, or even actually had one at all. (Unless he has one, but doesn't want to scan it/take a picture and stop the madness because he enjoys people getting into a tizzy on the internet.)

I know it takes some work, but I was hoping TheNextLevel could take a few minutes and scan the back of his card to show its the same one as the OPs so we have a slim chance of shutting him up. But knowing him he would probably just claim then that he still has a card that is actually /2 which is still worth alot of money, just half as much as he thought.
