I'm new to this forum thing and it seems my scans are much larger than allowed.

If it's ok, I uploaded it to an image site. If not, let me know and I will try to remove the link. I put it up against a graded one so you can see the difference even though the PSA case makes it difficult to see the stamp inside in detail.

Pics.

Ben, is it me or does the PSA Canseco's shield not appear legit? The raw copy appears solidly legit.

I honestly have no idea. I have avoided the DS cards because of all the fakes and how easy they are to make. Even back in the day when they first came out I didn't buy any. Fellow member Zach Wheat is the man when it comes to this set.

Agree about Zach. Will ask him to take a look.

How many different backs would be possible on the base card ?

Ben,

I believe it was added after the set was made i.e. not a genuine 1991 Topps DS card. What was the sheet code on the back?

Right now, my White Whale is 2000 Just Graded 2k - Gold #13 Chris Bootcheck (1/1)

Modern whale: 2017 Topps Archives Aaron Judge Fan Favorites Autograph 1/1 Gold border. This is a 1983 design card.

The 2017 Archives set featured 4 different 1/1 Judge cards...

1. A 1959 Bazooka style, black border with auto.
2. A 1960 Rookie Stars style, black border with auto.
3. A 1960 regular design, black border no auto.
4. The 1983 design, gold border with auto.

I have managed to hunt down and unite the first 3. Would love that fourth and final one.

A close second modern whale is Judge's 2017 Heritage Superfractor. It was on eBay as a BIN but missed it a ways back.

Not only that, but you're also competing with Yankee and Dodger team collectors... :eek:

Both of the cards have the F* sheet code. From what I'm understanding, you think the PSA graded card has a "fake" DS stamp on it while the mis-stamp has the appropriate stamp? The stamping looks identical to me other than the obvious misplacement on the raw one.

Thanks,
James

For 1980 - present cards, mine is a PSA 10 2001 Topps Tony Gwynn. It's the only Topps regular-issue Gwynn I don't have in PSA 10.

another member is looking for the same card, one just sold at auction that neither of us happened to see.....and it went for $1000 less than what I was prepared to pay for it
