Cards that do not exist

Gonzaleznut · #1 08-02-2007

There are several cards on the list that I do not believe exist and therefore, need to be taken off the list:

1996 Topps Members Only 55 #18 - I believe this to actually be a dupe listing with the correct version rightly listed under 1997.
1996 Pinnacle Aficianado First Pitch Preview - although cards were made of some players, Juan was not one of them.
1997 Leaf Fractal Matrix Die Cuts - both X axis cards, Y-axis #101, and Z-axis #353 - I have only ever seen or heard of the two we have pictures of on the list.
1998 Pacific Online Winners - all three cards - Never seen 'em.

Now I know that just because I have never seen a card doesn't make it not exist, but these are cards that I don't think any Juan collector has seen. Please prove me wrong. Maybe some of our newer members can help with this??

I have never seen any of the above cards, but if the '96 Aficionado First Pitch Preview does exist, then I think I know who has one. There was a collector named Rich who used the ebay id donyboy23, and he amassed a truly enormous collection of samples, promos, and previews in the late 1990's and early 2000's. He hasn't bought or sold anything on ebay in a couple years, but his About Me page shows a First Pitch Preview #99 on his "Have" list. I tend to believe him because I remember he offered some huge $$$ for First Pitch Preview cards on the Usenet message boards during that time. I have tried to contact him a couple times in the last year or so, but I've never gotten a response.

Another card that I would like to see is the '99 SP Signature Autographs Gold NO AU. Who has seen that one?

donyboy23..... good old Rich. What a blow hard he was. Someone could of shot him over road rage by now. He would go off to no end. He offered big money for stand up samples but when I found a source for some he tried to trade even up common for stars. Said commons were scarce, much more then the stars were. Enjoyed his letter like emails.
I'm still waiting on a reply from Jacob on what he might know about the First Pitch.

Wil, aircorp41, has a Pacific card for sure as I've tried to but it. Rdpt.Wnr#750 Gold Stamped Online Winner

It is the only card of the above four that I know for sure exists.

I have another one that I think should be taken off the list. The 2002 Topps Home Team Advantage #340 w/Boone/Juan/ARod. I have the entire HTA set and this card (as well as all of the foil cards in the set) did not have the HTA stamp on them. They are exactly like the regular issue card. There is nothing distinguishing for this card.

Unless I hear someone object I will remove these cards from the list this weekend.
