The Danbury Mint, sister company of Willabee & Ward, has produced this MLB licensed set of 22k gold baseball cards. These are part of the Cooperstown Collection. Now the game's all-time greats are immortalized on a surface of precious gold! All the great players captured on shimmering, mint-condition 22k gold cards. Each card boasts a dramatic, three-dimensional image in high relief on a mirror-smooth surface of gleaming gold. Each genuine 22k gold card is preserved in mint condition in a crystal-clear protective case. The front of each card portrays the player in a classic pose. The reverse side highlights his lifetime statistics. The actual size of each card is 2 1/2 inches wide x 3 1/2 inches high.
I believe there are four groups of cards. Series 1 consisting of 50 cards, #1 to #50. Series 2 consists of 50 cards, #51 to #101 (no #78), Series 3 consists of 50 cards, #102 to #151 and Series 4 consisting of 50 cards, #152 to #201. Series 1 cards are fairly common - Series 2 - 3 - 4 are much more rare. In order to get to Series 2 you would have had to subscribe and receive all the Series 1 cards first. To get to Series 3, you would have had to subscribe and receive all the Series 1 and Series 2 cards etc.
This auction is for one card - Juan Gonzalez. This is a 22k gold card for Juan Gonzalez of the Detroit Tigers. This is card #111 of Series 3. I only have one of each card in this set. If you have stars you want, get them early!
The Series 3 set consists of 50 cards, #102 to #151 and includes the following players: Brady Anderson, Luis Aparicio, Kevin Appier, Richie Ashburn, Lou Boudreau, Lou Brock, Kevin Brown, Jim Bunning, Jose Canseco, David Cone, Rollie Fingers, Chuck Finley, Curt Flood, Jimmie Foxx, Nomar Garciaparra, Tom Glavine, Juan Gonzalez, Luis Gonzalez, Mark Grace, Shawn Green, Burleigh Grimes, Lefty Grove, Al Hrabosky, Chipper Jones, Al Kaline, Tony Lazzeri, Bill Lee, Jose Lima, Bill Madlock, Roger Maris, Pedro Martinez, Tino Martinez, Tug McGraw, Kevin Millwood, Joe Morgan, Charles Nagy, Mel Ott, Rafael Palmeiro, Manny Ramirez, Jim Rice, Ivan Rodriguez, Edd Roush, Manny Sanguillen, Curt Schilling, Ron Swoboda, Greg Vaughn, Larry Walker, Zack Wheat, Bernie Williams, and Jimmy Wynn.
