How do you store your collection? And can you maybe take a bigger picture of the jersey with all of the faded signatures, I am curious to see what the whole jersey looks like.

In storage at a old military bunker!

I picked this one really cheap at the local shop yesterday.

Great, you could sell it to me for cheap too!

I've run into the same thing on Marcus Allen printing plates from CE. My theory is that there were printing plates for the parallels too, and in printing plate form they are indistinguishable from the base card. One of your sets of plates could be from the base card, and the other set of plates from the 50-point parallel.

Good theory and a possibility, but I don't buy it. I think that some of these plates hitting the market are NOT from the defunct companies, that some plates are being maded after the fact. This was the worse looking plate that I have picked up...very dark unlike all the others. hmmmm!?!

Today's card - Card comes home!

Original traded this card and another auto for the same card but #100/100. Recently he listed on ebay and I bought it so it came home with open arms!

That certainly could be. It is weird that some of these are just coming to market 10 years after CE went out of business. If I remember to, I'll take a closer look at some of my older ones vs. the newer ones and see if I notice any differences. I might weigh them, too.
