There are backdoored proofs, no serial number and otherwise identical to the pack pulled versions. There are also prototypes, also no serial number but the cards images are different from the pack issued versions. They were intended for future releases prior to the bankruptcy. Typically, players who had a CTA had a regular and vice versa. It’s understood that there are two green copies, one purple and one red in existence for every player.

I sold off most my '90's collection (and crusades), apparently way too "early" with this recent interest, but I still have these protos around:






If anyone knows where the heck that Giambi purple is, I'm your guy.

Belle is #d/25. Thome isn't numbered, but it's the Triumverate Illuminator insert parallel.
