Tricky 2019 Topps Flagship Set Collector question

[Bradley5280]

Hello, I have a tricky question that tests knowledge of the 2019 flagship sets.

What does it mean/what is the rarity or print run of the 2019 flagship set that has a Gold “150 years of baseball anniversary” Stamp along with a Gold Topps logo? The card isn’t numbered but I saw one and can barely find any information at all on it.

There are few on eBay. AI said that even though it’s not numbered it was limited to a print run of 50 to commemorate the 150 year anniversary but I can’t find too much on them so figured I’d ask the experts.

Does anyone know anything about these cards? They seem cool but I haven’t seen much on them.

Thanks for the help and insight!

I have one of the 150 stamped 1984 insert autos, and it’s numbered to 150. So, I can’t imagine the non-numbered base are only printed to 50.

So is it a Gold Stamp and Gold Topps logo? AI said that “the standard 150 anniversary stamps are numbered out of 150 but the Golds stamps have a print run of 50”. Honestly not sure since all I have his AI. It also said that the inserts are serial numbered whereas the base variations are not. Kinda confusing all around and I can’t find much on line. General searching on eBay has only come up with about 4 or 5 total listings of the Gold indicating they’re rare but I just don’t know.

Every card, including inserts, had a “150th” stamped parallel. The inserts numbered to 150. I don’t think there is a Gold version, all the stamps use gold ink.

Wander around in these some:

I didn’t realize there was a GOLD version of the stamp. Are you sure?

Some pictures would help.

Topps logo might be reflecting a color that makes it appear gold.

This is just a regular Flagship card with a gold stamp that says "150 Years". It is not Topps Gold and is not numbered.

I feel like I used to know the estimated print run. I'll try to find it.

A quick look at the insertion stats (below) makes clear there are way more than 150 of these. Look at Advanced Stats which are numbered to 150. The 150 Gold Stamp is more like Topps Gold but even more plentiful.

I'm not quite sure of the mix of hobby to retail so can't make a very good guess but I'd go with more than 2500.

Series 2 or Update could be somewhat different...

Sorry for the delay! Yes it’s absolutely Gold, I’ve compared it to the regular “150 Years” Stamps. I just can’t find that many of these on eBay. It does say on the checklist that regular stamps are place on 1:6 hobby packs it seems. The few I see on the bay just call it “Gold Stamp” I believe. I normally wouldn’t think much of it but between AI and the fact I can’t find that many for sale is confusing me. Here’s the photo and thank you for the help!!

Also, it’s in a Gold Rookie Card top loader, not white and the lamp used for the photo is a white bulb as opposed to the ones that give off a yellow tint.

All the 150th stamps are gold

that you have to explain what it is doesnt help either

I'm working on a complete set of these, and I agree that they are all gold.
