I fancy myself pretty good at finding what something is roughly worth but I can find nothing on this card. It's a 2001 SP Legendary Cuts Mickey Mantle #84 with a 100 mill 5 gram .999 fine gold bar. The base card without this in the middle is $1. So I'm hoping my buddy found something cool. Any info would be appreciated. Pic attached.

2001 SP Legendary Cuts Mickey Mantle gold bar card?
|
Maybe the melt value of 5 grams of gold, plus the dollar for the card? If the card is a 1/1 then it would be significantly more than that ... but that might be a low end 'starting point'.

I am confused here, is this a gold bar that was added after release? I have never heard of the 2001 SP Legendary Cuts sets having a gold piece and I thought I knew the set pretty well.

RE: 2001 SP Legendary Cuts Mickey Mantle gold bar card?
I don't think it was added after the fact. The base card I would assume is standard card size. This one is thick with the space built in to the card for the gold. Both my friend and I can find no other examples or literature on this being an option. He took a risk buying it but is hoping it was a great investment.
If it were an after the fact thing... someone is REALLY GOOD at making cards with gold lol. (05-06-2019, 06:01 PM)Arbitem Wrote: I don't think it was added after the fact.

A picture of the back might help.

Somebody made this card.Not part of the set
I'm thinking this is not an official release. My crazy guess is that some company made a bunch of these for direct sales, maybe even on some at-home shopping channel (Don West anyone?)

And then the camera would do a close-up on it and you couldn't see anything because of the overhead set lights obliterating it. "You mind tipping that up a little bit, Don?" LOL
It is good to know that I am not missing something. But Don West, that man made the cheapest overproduced cardboard seem like pure gold. I am ready to call Shop At Home and give them my credit card.
