Showoff .... your favourit "hand numbered" cards

croatiantwins · 05-03-2019, 12:58 PM

Aight guys,

So - i thought it would be cool to have a thread which isn't about the machine stamped serials .... a thread which isn't going to the Future but more Back to the Back :-D

At first:
I really kinda love to write...with my hand...to write letters with a pen, i like if someone has a nice handwriting but too bad that its not that much imporzant nowadays to get it poppin with a pen and a paper ... since its all about touching screens nowadays.

When i started collecting in 98' i was fascinated by cards that were numbered with a hand writing ( no for real) since that was much rarer to get and it has a little much human touch to it then a machine serial numbered card...

Just think at Century Marks !! ..97 were numbered to /100 ...98 to /50 ...the struggle was real!
Was there like only 1 guy hand numbering them all so that all look the same?
Think of the most iconic basketball card in the hobby...

1997-98 Upper Deck Game Jersey Auto Michael Jordan /23

.... handnumbered.....

Nowadays its not that much about handnumberings anymore (except replay) but i would love to see it more involved again.

I love old UD buybacks ( have 100+) century marks, some crazy parallels ...

Lets showoff and see what everyone has to show!

I think its a good time to go and check your collection again ;-)

I will try to post 1 card every day for like 6 years and 17 days and i am starting with this one!

Show em!!!

What a beauty!!!

the27guy · 05-03-2019, 01:06 PM

I think I only have four in my collection. This is probably my favorite.

BruceS · 05-03-2019, 01:07 PM

Nice idea kiki, here is mine:

I don't think I have many KG cards that are hand numbered, but this one came to mind:

1998-99 Upper Deck Next Quantum Wave Gold /75

I also think it is a bit weird some of KG's are hand numbered to 75 while other players are stamped to 75 in the same set.

I hope it's for real or I wasted some money on a fake! :S

Also, this isn't fire but I had this card as a kid and I remember thinking... Holy crap someone had to write out 4100 cards by serial number?!

BruceS · 05-03-2019, 01:27 PM

Thought first the Jordan would be my only one, but the post of Luni made me think about Kevin Garnett.

2 potential situations.... if one was sent back for damage... they would send back a hand numbered version.... never saw one with the gold marker... thats new to me..

Luni · 05-03-2019, 01:34 PM

Yeah I just checked worth point and it looks like some of KG's are stamped and two are hand written (23 & 49) so far. Hope it isn't some backdoor version and rather just a replacement or something... Weird.

buckunteer · 05-03-2019, 01:42 PM

No contest for me as this is my favorite card in my collection anyways

Easy one for me. I handnumbered this one myself after receiving it for Fathers Day from my lucky charm a few years ago.

Vinny407 · 05-03-2019, 03:44 PM

I never thought I would find one of these, but a couple of years ago a member on here posted a "Random stuff ft/fs" thread and there it was

I let them know I PC Darrell Armstrong and they told me they'd had it for a long time hoping someone who collected him would need it. It's a great feeling in this hobby when you land a card you know exists, but don't think there's a chance to ever land it. Hopefully everyone is ok with "Flash" Armstrong taking a spot among all of these incredible Jordans

domin824 · 05-03-2019, 04:07 PM

Oooh this is gonna be mouth watering! I'm at work but I'll be back to post some. I agree with kiki, hand numbered cards are the shizzz...
