The official "football cards that are currently missing from the online Beckett - ozzieguillen13 - 10-14-2009 On the Litho-Cel, I remember reading a while back that the base card (with funky colored picture) was part of the cel price (see through card). I think it may have been in an old Reader's Write in Beckett. I remember it because I wasn't sure how to price them and it said that you had to have both pieces for it to be considered as one.

The online registry acknowledges the base, Red, Gold #d to 98, and Registered Exchange (#d to 51 I think). In the photo below the Red is on the bottom left while the Gold is on the bottom right. The other 6 shown are 6 different versions of the base card, but the registry only acknowledges 1.<br />... As for the Registered Exchange cards...the example I provide clearly shows that they were numbered one right after the other resulting in "6.375 average" of each color redeemed. o.o <br /> Thanks jaderock for your comments and expertise! I in kind would also like to expound even further on a number of your responses. <br /> <br /> I'll start first with these specific Registered Exchange cards. If I understood this correctly, collectors would compile a hand collated set of these Pennants (also the Leather and Tickets too)<br /> from this set - collectors then would send their completed sets into the company and Playoff would systematically stamp each card with the same serial number in the order it was received. On a side note, if there were only 51 of these sets it looks like you were the next to last person to gets his stamped . Henceforth, I assume that these Pennants were the original ones that you sent in to the company and not ones that were exchanged for a complete set with this serial number already pre-stamped.<br /> <br /> If my understanding is correct then here is my point, it is feasible that some player's pennants of certain colors in this set were never stamped with this Registered Exchange serial number. Now it is likely that the six base colored versions have a Registered Exchange number due to the law of averages, however it is not a mathematical given. The chances of exclusion become much greater however when it applies to the comparatively scarcer Red and especially even more comparatively scarcer Gold parallels.<br /> The official "football cards that are currently missing from the online Beckett - nittany13 - 10-14-2009 Removed by user The official "football cards that are currently missing from the online Beckett - duch2izback - 10-14-2009 Don't have a picture, but....<br /> 2008 Topps Retail Game Used Jerseys Lorenzo Booker #R-LBO is not listed.<br /> <br /> Also, my 1997 SP Fifth Year edition Buyback Auto Mo Vaughn numbered to 132 is not listed either.<br /> The official "football cards that are currently missing from the online Beckett - nittany13 - 10-14-2009 jaderock Wrote:<br />nittany13 Wrote:2000 SP Authentic Buy Back Autographs.<br /><br /> No wonder why I never saw that 1999 version during the 2000 Buyback promotion! Thanks for solving that mystery for me. I still think this example and others like should be listed.<br /> <br /> That 1995 SP version, however, was released in 2000. It can be found in the older Beckett annuals too. That example is just a case of a glaring omission I guess.

There may be other examples out there for me to make my point with but I cannot think of any at the moment. <br /> The official "football cards that are currently missing from the online Beckett - nittany13 - 10-14-2009 jaderock Wrote:<br />nittany13 Wrote:Pinnacle Totally Certified Platinum Kerry Collins: parallels exist for all three Red, Blue and Gold versions of that card, although I do not have any to show. <br /><br /> I always had a hunch that samples existed for all three versions of every card in the 1997 Pinnacle Totally Certified Platinum cards, but was never certain. BTW I hope you didn't mind me using one of your pictures as an example (I did not figure that out until later). <br /> <br /> As far as your second point is concerned, maybe simply there are not very many samples leaking out of the players that I collect but I just have not found too many examples of this.<br /> <br /> There are those who will disagree with me but I do not categorize a card with a missing serial number, when its supposed to have one, as a promo/preview/sample. I classify that type of card as a "defect" in fact, hence those examples I agree should not be listed. Personally I do not even bother to collect those. The same thing goes for variations of cards (prototypes) that ended up on the factory "cutting room floor", if you catch my drift.<br /> <br /> However if a card states promo/preview/sample or XXX as in the most previous example then I do believe in that case the card should be listed. Unfortunately I also think it would be difficult to classify in many instances which promotional cards "appeared" only after the company went belly-up (as I briefly touched upon in a previous post).

If not than I think they should be categorized separately. Currently I do not know if these two pieces were allocated this way in the packs or not.<br /> <br /> Thanks for that input .
