98-99 Skybox Moten Metal Shaq Error card question
Hi guys and gals. Been a longtime since I've been on here. I was going through some older cards in my safe and I came across this Shaq card. If I remember right it's an error card. The only cards in the set that were supposed to be Fusion Titanium's /40 were cards 36/37/39/41-43. Can anyone verify this? Of course here's the pics. I got it graded years ago, not the best grade. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ahh ok. Well I was looking in a 2000 year Beckett that said only ones that are Fusion Titanium's /40 were 36/37/39/41-43. Not the Shaq #45 card. Must be a listing error in the book then. Will have to see If I can find the Beckett that they first appeared in to see if there's anything different. Thanks guys!

I'll sell you a ton of Michael Olowokandi and Vince Carter RCs at only 75% high BV in that 2000 Beckett you have.

this is what beckett states on the checklist "This 50-card set is a semi-parallel of the base set. The set only parallels cards 101-150, the Heavy Metal and Supernatural subsets. The cards feature die cut technology. Card 1-30 were inserted at one in 16 packs, while cards 31-50 were randomly inserted and serially numbered to 250. Due to a production problem, 15 of the 20 Supernatural cards were produced with an incorrect front logo. Thus, these cards were serially numbered to 40, rather than the 250. Five players remain correct, they are Jordan, Stephon Marbury, Shawn Kemp, Allen Iverson and Grant Hill."

Thanks pingbling23, that clears it up! I wonder what the estimated value of this card is nowadays?
