Upstanding Member,
Good evening all.
Long time listener....first time (in a long time) caller. Hope everyone is well.
My PC chase has been constant through all the ups and downs that the past few years have thrown me. Not quite as aggressive....but still finding fun in the hobby - daily.
I came across a card that has me stumped....so I'm seeing if anyone here has any info (please and thank you).
This Linden card comes from the 2000/01 Be A Player Signature Series. To my knowledge all these years, there has been the base, ruby /200, sapphire /100 and emerald /10. But this card is clearly the platinum parallel.
Here is the card next to the base. Definitely not a "printing error" or anything weird like that. This is its own unique card. No numbering on the back or anything and looks to have all the copyright info and mice type that the other cards have in my collection.
Here's a photo of all 5 cards just to really get a sense of the difference.
Like I said....I'm stumped as to where this platinum version has lived all these years (this is the first copy of the card I've ever seen....over two decades of nothing only to find this new addition).
And just because I was pulling out all the cards in my rainbow, here are all the show cards I've landed from this release. You can see a couple platinum cards in there (so I knew of the existence of platinum cards...but only for the show card releases).
Any knowledge on the existence of this platinum base parallel would be greatly appreciated.
In the meantime, I'm going to enjoy this new addition to the collection.
Thanks and have a fantastic day. :beer:
