This was the 1 of 1 parallel I made a trade for this and I am happy with the deal.

I have always struggled with telling the difference in this set. Is it numbered? BGS has one listed as graded at a 7.5 so it seems I'm not the only one. Was there an un-numbered promo? Some images below.

What I was told by the seller of all the unnumbered variations was this.

We bought a set from someone at a show a while ago who got it from a former UD executive. Haven't seen the other version but the Gold is definitely the 1/1 version.

If you look he is the only one selling them and if he bought from an executive my guess this was the 1/1 Proof. Not sure how many he has sold but if your looking for a certain player I would ask him.

The one released in packs looks like this and has 1/1 stamped on the front.

I had been hesitant to make an offer on the Ripken that is on eBay as I was not sure where these came from. (The Ripken seller has several so I would guess it is the same seller you bought the Jeter from)

I have not seen more than 1 of these variations that do not have the serial number for sure though. I was hoping there was some more evidence as to where these came from as both PSA and BGS have graded them.

Hopefully my response cleared any concerns you had. I know Brian for a while we have made quite a few deals in the past.
