Strasburg collectors check this out... - Haze28 - 01-11-2014

This is a friends card, he pulled it from a blaster from Target. It's a retail throwback variation but the problem is, the card isn't listed in any checklists and has never been sold on eBay. Has anyone seen one before?

It's just the Target throw-back logo parallel. I don't think they are all that rare but it should be worth something

It is the throwback but if you look anywhere all of the information says the throwback set is 1-660. This card is 661. Probably wouldn't think anything of it if we could find another one of this card somewhere. He's been watching eBay for years and has never seen another one listed.

Hmm, that is a wrinkle. Perhaps they were only in the factory sets sold at Target? I know they put random rookies in those factory sets, not sure if they did them in throw-back logo style

There are a few by 1 seller for under $4.00 each & completed sales show many sold inc a gold border #661.

There is a factory set version as well but it has a different photo and logo in in the top left corner.

I think you are looking at a different one. We've scoured eBay looking for this card. If you are correct, post a link to a finished auction please.

The card is not listed on beckett individually or as part of a set. Every player in the set has a target variation listed on beckett except strasburg. Never been on Ebay either. No other info or photos found anywhere online. Good luck.

I read this too. But I have not been able to find it anywhere. Beckett does not even acknowledge its existence.
