1987 Sportflics

2020-07-26T19:28:51Z

Just me: /* Description */

=Description=

1987 Sportflics is a 195-card all-lenticular set. It owns the distinction of being first baseball card with a color photo on the back of the card.

In a rather curious variation, all cards distributed in factory sets have a 1986 copyright on the back. This despite the fact that the factory sets were released after the foilpacks. Cards from foilpacks have either a 1986 copyright, a 1987 copyright, or no copyright at all.

=Distribution=

Foil: 36 packs per box, three cards plus one Magic Motion Trivia Card per pack (MSRP: $0.59). 12 boxes per case.

Factory sets.

===Dealer Panels===

Sportflics produced four, 4-card panels to dealers who purchased a set number of Sportflics products. Each panel measures 4 7/8" X 6 7/8" and feature slightly under-sized representations of 1987 Sportflics cards. Some dealers did cut-up their panels and sold the cards individually. Each card has a 1986 copyright.

Guide to the 2012 Topps 661 Bryce Harper Cards

2012-11-26T03:38:40Z

Just me:

Not unlike [[Guide to the 2010 Topps 661 Stephen Strasburg Cards|what they did in 2010 with Stephen Strasburg,]] Topps added a 661st card of Bryce Harper to their 2012 flagship. And just like in 2010, Topps produced multiple versions of Bryce Harper's first Topps cards. However due to the bizarre methods Topps has employed in the distribution of Harper's cards, they have yet to issue a "True" Bryce Harper rookie card for their flagship brand. This guide is to assist collectors in identifying each of the several Harper "661" cards.

==Versions "A" & "B": The Series Two Gimmicks==

Almost as soon as Harper was called-up to the Nationals, Topps [http://topps.com/news/topps-announces-bryce-harper-rookie-card-plans issued a press release] announced that a card of Harper would be included as an additional card in the [[2012 Topps Series Two|Series Two]] base set. However the card would be short-printed -- this first time ever that the Topps base set would include an intentionally SPed rookie card. For purposes of this checklist, we consider this to be card "A".

Even though Beckett has given card "A" it's "RC" label, because of the "gimmick" nature of the card, BCP does not.

In addition, a limited number of "A" cards with a sticker autograph of Harper were also randomly seeded into Series Two packs. We consider the autographed version to be card "B".

==Versions "C" & "D": Factory sets==

Just like with Strasburg in 2010, each 2012 Topps Factory Set will contain a Bryce Harper 661 card that is completely different than the once inserted into packs. However, unlike with the 2010 Strasburg 661, Topps produced completely different Harper 661's for the Hobby and retail factory sets. These are versions "C" and "D."

If Topps had included the same Harper card in both factory set editions, we would have no problem giving it the "true" rookie card label. However, since a player can have one and only one rookie card per set, we do not consider either to be an RC.

==Versions "E," "F," "G," & "H": Topps Updates==

For [[2012 Topps Update]], Topps produced two different Harper base cards and two short-printed variations. The two base cards (which we will call "E" and "F") are from the "Rookie Debut" and "All-Star Game" subsets, while the two variations ("G" and "H") are different versions of card "F."

Over the last couple of years, Topps Update has included a "Rookie Debut" subset -- essentially, an excuse for Topps to make yet another card of the current rookie card class. Because the player's "true" rookie card was already issues (either in Series One, Series Two, or, in some cases, the Update Series itself), Rookie Debut's were not considered RCs. Card #US183 is Bryce Harper's Rookie Debut card and is card "E."

Card #US299 is from the All-Star Game subset and commemorates Harper's selection to the 2012 National League All-Star Team. This is card "F." The two variations -- one a horizontal card, the other with Harper in street clothes -- are cards "G" and "H."

Because card "E" is the closet thing Topps has printed to anything resembling a traditional "rookie card," BCP considers this card to be Bryce Harper's one, and only, Topps RC.

==Other Topps Bryce Harper Cards==

===Parallels===

One-of-one Platinum and Wood parallels, as well as a set of four Printing Plates, of cards "A," "E," and "F" were also randomly inserted into Series Two and Update Series packs.

In addition, both cards "E" and "F" are available in the following parallels:

* Golden Memories
* Blue (exclusive to packs sold at Wal-Mart)
* Red (exclusive to packs sold at Target)
* Gold (serial-numbered to 2012 copies)
* Black (serial-numbered to 61 copies)

Finally, a framed Silk card, serial-numbered to 50 copies, of card "E" was randomly inserted into Update Series packs.

===Topps Mini===

The [[2012 Topps Mini]] set contains a Bryce Harper card that is a miniature reproduction of his "A" card. Unlike the "A" card, is was produced in exactly the same quantities as any other Mini base card and therefore is a "true" rookie card. Gold (serial-numbered to 61 copies), Platinum (serial-numbered to five copies), and Printing Plate (set of four) parallels were also made available.

Topps also produced a mini-sized Promo card of Harper that was distributed exclusively at the 2012 National Sports Collectors Convention in Baltimore.

1998 Select

2012-07-08T17:30:59Z

Just me:

=Description=

1998 Select was a proposed a 250-card fractured set, intended for release in September, 1998. The product was never released due to Pinnacle Brands' bankruptcy.

The base set was fractured based on what Pinnacle called the "Quasar System." The first 100 cards were to be known as the "One-Stars," with the next 75 as the "Two-Stars." The next 50 cards were the "Three-Stars," and the final 25 the "Four-Stars." It is assumed that the One-Star cards were to have been the most common and the Four-Stars the most rare. An additional five cards (known as the "Five-Star Bonus" cards) were also to have been produced, but although these cards were not to have been sequentially-numbered as part of the base set, there were to have been serial-numbered to only 50 copies. Each base card was to have also been available in a "Jersey" parallel, with each card serial-numbered to the player's respective uniform number.

There were to have been four insert sets: Diamond Dominance, Selected, Rare Form, and Select Numbers.

==Bankruptcy Issues==

A bankruptcy judge ordered all un-issued trading cards (including cards from this product) to be destroyed; however, a number of 1998 Select cards have made their way into the secondary market. The only authorized cards from the set that were issued before the bankruptcy filing were a 10-card promo set of the Selected insert. All other cards were backdoored.

==Base Set==

1998 Select was to be a 250-card base set. However, to this date, only 32 base cards from the set are known to have surfaced on the secondary market. It is unclear, after all these years, what ever happened to the other 218 cards in the set. It has been estimated that less than 20 copies of each card made their way into the open market. The following is the complete checklist as set forth on the product sell sheet, with the cards confirmed to have landed on the secondary market in bold.

===Jersey Numbers===

Jersey Numbers was intended to be a parallel of the full 250-card base set, with each card serial-numbered to the player's respective uniform number. These are the only Jersey Numbers cards known to exist. The cards are numbered "00/00," although it has been said that some serial-numbered Griffeys have surfaced. Additionally, Griffeys have surfaced having no serial numbering and no "00/00" numbering either.

==Inserts==

===Selected===

These 10 cards were the only cards from the 1998 Select set that were released before the Pinnacle Brands bankruptcy. A pack of two cards were released to Hobby dealers along with the sell sheets. The word "SAMPLE" was printed on the back of each card.

Non-promo Selected cards have surfaced of Derek Jeter and Todd Helton.

2 Nomar Garciaparra

3 Ben Grieve

4 Travis Lee

5 Jose Cruz, Jr.

6 Alex Rodriguez

7 Todd Helton

8 Derek Jeter

9 Scott Rolen

10 Jaret Wright

===Select Numbers===

Select Numbers was intended to be a 20-card insert set, serial-numbered to a player statistic. Like with the base cards and Jersey Number parallels, a limited number of Select Numbers made their way "out the backdoor;" however, the cards were NOT serial-numbered. Only 11 of the 20 cards from this set have surfaced on the secondary market.

2 Juan Gonzalez

3 Ken Griffey, Jr.

6 Frank Thomas

11 Barry Bonds

13 Derek Jeter

14 Nomar Garciaparra

15 Chipper Jones

16 Pedro Martinez

17 Hideo Nomo

18 Randy Johnson

20 Greg Maddux

===Five-Star Bonus===

Five-Star Bonus was intended to be a five-card quasi-parallel of the base set. The design is similar to that of the base set, but the cards are sequentially-numbered "X of 5." Each card is serial-numbered to 50 copies.

Mike Piazza was to have been card #5 in this set, but was replaced by Derek Jeter

Beginning around 2007, a number of these cards were sold (as complete five-card sets with matching serial-numbers) on eBay. Before then, singles were incredibly rare items.

<sql2wiki database = "carddb">
SELECT num,player,serial FROM cards WHERE (year = 1998) AND (setname = 'Select Five-Star Bonus Prototypes');
</sql2wiki>

===Diamond Dominance===

Diamond Dominance was to be a 10-card insert set. The only card from the set confirmed to have reached the secondary market is Andruw Jones.

3 Andruw Jones

===Rare Form===

The "Rare Form" insert set was on the original sell sheet, but no cards from the set has emerged on the secondary market. The checklist was to be as follows:

1 Ken Griffey, Jr.

2 Roger Clemens

3 Cal Ripken, Jr.

4 Juan Gonzalez

5 Nomar Garciaparra

6 Alex Rdriguez

7 Chipper Jones

8 Mike Piazza

1994 Topps Traded

2012-06-30T16:56:23Z

Just me:

=Description=

The 1994 Topps Traded baseball card set consisted of 132 baseball cards. For the fourteenth, and final, straight year Topps Traded was available only as a factory set -- which included a set of eight Topps Finest "insert" cards. The following year, [[1995 Topps Traded and Rookies | the set]] was produced exclusively in pack form. For the first time, Topps would include in Traded players selected in that year's First Year Player Draft.

As with most late-season 1994 sets, the strike affected sales of '94TT. Although Topps did cut production of '94TT (including making it Hobby exclusive), interest in this set was next to non-existant when it was released.

The only rookie cards of note are of Paul Konerko and Chan Ho Park.

The cards in this 196-card set measure 2 1/2" by 3 1/2". This set is essentially the same as the regular 1966 Topps set, except that the words "Printed in Canada" appear on the bottom of the back, and the background colors are slightly different.

=Distribution=

Five-card nickel packs which came 36 to a box.

This set is an abridgement of the 1987 Topps set. The 396 standard-size cards comprising the 1987 O-Pee-Chee set differ from the cards of the 1987 Topps set by having a higher ratio of cards of players from the two Canadian teams, a practice begun by O-Pee-Chee in 1977 and continued to 1988. The backs include the player's name and bilingual position. Some backs also have bilingual career highlights, some have bilingual baseball facts, and still others have both or neither. The O-Pee-Chee logo appears on the front of every card.

Professional Grading

2011-12-15T05:33:06Z

Just me:

*'''Should I get my cards graded?'''

Depends on your purpose. Mainly, the purpose most people have for getting cards graded is to increase the value and liquidity of their cards and to have a reasonable assurance of grade and authenticity. That this has become a widely-accepted practice attests to the value many people ascribe to professional grading.

The criterion typically used in deciding to get cards graded is whether the benefits are worth the cost. To determine whether it is worth the cost, you need to know the condition of your cards, the market value of the cards in each grade, and the costs of getting your cards graded (namely, the grading fee, the shipping and insurance costs, and the time/effort spent in the process). It is especially worth getting your cards graded if they are in "Gem Mint" condition, which commands a significant premium; however, this grade designation is very hard to obtain (and especially so for the grade above that, "Pristine"), and you shouldn't count on your cards obtaining this grade unless you have closely inspected every nook and cranny of your card to make very sure that there are no flaws on the card (for this, a 10x lighted jewelers loupe is quite helpful).

Professional graders are usually very tough. If you go in expecting a lot of your cards to obtain "Gem Mint" designation, you might be in for a rude awakening. Some of the grading services now have population reports at their web sites, giving breakdowns showing how many of a certain card received the designations "Gem Mint," "Mint" and so on. If you peruse these population reports, you will discover how few cards receive the "Gem Mint" designation. This should give you some idea of how difficult it is to receive this top grade.

One thing to consider in deciding whether the benefits of grading are worth the costs, is the risk you incur in sending your cards in for grading. In a few reported cases, cards have been damaged in the process between the time the cards are sent off and the time they arrive back. This doesn't occur often, but you should acknowledge the risk (however slight it may be) of this happening, and it is always a good idea to have your cards insured when you send them off for grading. There have also been rumors that some grading companies have replaced submitted cards, with a less desirable copy of the same card.

The recommended way to submit cards is to place your card in a soft sleeve and then to place the sleeved card into a large "Card Saver" or some holder in which the sleeved card cannot move around and be potentially damaged. A top loader should work fine if you tape it tightly at each side on the top so that the top loader will be tight and permit little to no movement of the card.

It should also be noted that while professional grading companies offer the promise of accurate and consistent grading, they are rendering a professional opinion, and opinions can vary from one professional to another, and from one time to another. No company has earned the reputation for being perfectly accurate and consistent, but by and large, you get what they advertise. Before you submit cards for grading, it might be a good idea to examine some that have already been graded, so that you have a better idea as to what a card receiving a specific grade designation typically looks like. This way, you will know whether or not your cards have a good shot at attaining a certain grade designation.

*'''Who are the major grading companies? Which one should I send my cards to?'''

The companies that have the strongest reputation nowadays are PSA (Professional Sports Authenticator), SGC (Sportscard Guaranty), and BGS (Beckett Grading Services). There are many other companies, but these are the ones taken most seriously and for which there is most market demand.

Of these three, PSA is the "industry leader" and has been around the longest. There are many more cards submitted to PSA on a regular basis than any of the other grading companies. Cards graded by PSA typically command the highest prices. This may have less to do with the quality of its grading than with its reputation, and it is not guaranteed to remain this way for long. (In fact, recent indications are that BGS-graded cards often command higher prices, particularly on condition-sensitive issues.)

Other than price discrepancies, these companies are generally on par with one another in terms of quality of service and reputation for accurate grading. From what I can tell, none of these is seen as being generally "tougher" in its grading than the others.
Preferences for one company or other depend on various factors. Some people prefer PSA for the aforementioned price-advantages. Some prefer the SGC holder the most, but others like the BGS holder with its inner sleeve. (I've found that any of the holders do an adequate job of protecting the cards, and all are, to the best of my knowledge, tamper proof and none have been counterfeited as of yet. It is very rare that any holder will break open unless a significant amount of force is applied to it.) Some people like BGS's 4-point system because it gives them a better idea as to why the card received the grade it did.

I wouldn't recommend one service over the other, so it is basically up to you and how the services cater to your particular preferences. Be careful to read their websites, however, to find out about their grading fees and other requirements for submitting cards, as they differ from company to company.

There are many other grading services out there that I can't even begin to list here, since so many start up and go out of business every month, it seems. (You can find out about some of these by searching through various online auctions.) Besides the three named above, the only ones that seem to stand out among the rest of the bunch are USA (Ultimate Sportscard Authority), and CSA (Certified Sports Authentication). Also, a leading grading authority in Canada is KSA.

*'''What is the connection to the coin hobby I keep hearing about?'''

The concept of a third-party "professional" grading service has it's roots in numismatics (coin collecting). Both PSA and SGC are part of much larger grading conglomerates that slab everything from coins to postage stamps, vintage autographs to comic books, even casino chips. In fact, Collectors Universe, the parent company of PSA, is publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange.
Many of its critics fear that grading will bring in speculators looking for the "next big thing" in trendy investment schemes, thereby pricing out the "real" collectors. Just like slabbing did to numismatics in the late 80s/early 90s.
