value help on this card

[baseballcardguy]

i recently purchased a 1997 flair showcase legacy collection row 1 of doug drabek /100 and am not sure of the value of it and really would like help finding out the value.

Quite honestly I would consider him a common so I would think true value is about a dollar, possibly more if you find a player or set collector that wants it.

This is kind of interesting. The 2011 Standard Catalog shows that Flair made the Showcase sets in 1996 and 1998. If I remember correctly, the 1996 cards are dated 1997. Doug Drabek isn't included in the 1998 set, so your card would have to be from the 1996 set.

The Standard Catalog lists the Legacy commons at $10, since only 100 of each card were made. With the Legacy cards, there is no premium for Row 1, Row 0, etc.

Even though this card is listed @$10, you would be lucky to get a buck for it, unless you were lucky enough to come across a Drabek collector or someone who is trying to put together the full Legacy set of 400. If I had this card, I would put it in my dollar box at the card show, and if it didn't sell after a couple of shows, I would move it to my quarter box.
