Ok, I am super collecting Monta Eliis RC's
I am unclear about these 2 cards:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/2005-06-SP-Authe..._500wt_955
http://www.ebay.com/itm/330631350841?ssP..._500wt_955
The 1 numbered out of /100 ...there are 2 different auto memorabilia cards listed in Beckett that number /100 so not sure which one this listing is.
The one numbered 2 /1299 according to Beckett should not have Memorabilia...in fact I have the one that is /1299 no memorabilia.

Anybody shed some light on this set????

Both are from the 2005-06 Rookie Authentic set. Just the 1st 100 cards in the print run had patch cards. the second one looks to be the limited rookies parallel which is numbered to just 100. Both have the same set number just different print runs. Why both aren't multi coloured patches is beyond me - but that's just upper deck being upper deck.

easy answer for you :

the one numbered to 1299 is this one :

2005-06 SP Authentic Limited Rookie Patches

Only 100 copies of each card were printed.... they're part of the regular rookie card print run , so they are numbered from 1-100/1299 ...as you can see , the one you have pictured is serial number 63/1299 ....so while they have a PRINT RUN of just 100 , they are actually NUMBERED OUT of 1299....

and that leaves the card you have pictured numbered to 100 as this one :

2005-06 SP Authentic Limited Rookie Autographs

that one is just a 42-card parallel set with the actual serial numbering to 100....


(if you doubt me and want more info , go to those two items in the OPG and click on the set name to see the details)

Thank you. I would have never know that the first 100 were memorabilia. I guess thats one more I need to get! Monta RC's generally sell for more than BV but that one is a bit overpriced....
