Crazy 1/1 or should I say 2/2 Mailday??

[LJBIGGESTFAN2]

Well I got the "other" 1998-99 Fleer Ultra Larry Johnson Masterpiece card in the mail today. I say "other" because I already had this (1/1) card in my collection. After looking over them very carefully there was only a slight difference I noticed. On the card I just bought recently (bottom scan, back of card) in the word "Edition" the letter "t" is slightly deformed. Other then that both cards looks exactly the same. (Corner is fine of the bottom cards, it's just the scan!). So I don't know if Fleer just made one of these as a possible replacement, error, from a sheet, etc...oh well now I have 2 of these cards.

Should I send this story to Beckett? From the scan the letter "O" in Only looks different as well?

Picked this "weird" Grandmama item up as well. It's a blow up doll (Don't even say it guys :roll: ) ha ha...It was meant to be hung from the ceiling to act like Grandmama flew through the roof...pretty cool item!

Here are the "Masterpieces":

The bottom one looks a bit dodgy the way the O and t are

 

[Lippo]

They're both the same 1/1 card

I believe they call it a 2/1

Patrick, you've got the greatest player collection I've ever seen! Not many collectors can say they've got that kind of memorabilia

 

[nandalinnaung]

I think you should write to beckett...

but the second one is a bit dodgy.. i guess...

or have the second one raw grade at card show?? and see what they will respond?

interesting cards indeed..

Nice work man!!

Weird about the 1/1....but 2 is always better than one!

 

[Billyhoyle]

Great to see you got it Patrick.

The story has to go to beckett

 

[WoobieZarz]

Well done Pat, glad it went to your collection bud!

Hopefully they're both legit 1/1s. But definately write it in, would be great to find out what the go is.

Nice pick-ups Patrick. Good to see them both turn up in the one mailday too! Love the legs lol. I'd definitely write into Beckett enquiring about that Masterpiece situation. Would be very interesting to see what they think about it all, especially value wise on both 1/1's as individual cards. Wonder if anyone would know the story behind them. Keep us posted on what happens!

Awesome job Something no one else shall ever do...fine 2 of the same 1/1s!

 

[breakerswitch]

Wow that is wierd. A 1of1of1of1 and some blow up legs. lol what did the missus say at that one?

 

[Matt26]

That's a very interesting mailday! Cant wait to see what is said about the 2 x 1 of 1 cards!

Cheers
Matt

Thanks for the all kind responses guys, I have no idea why there is two of these cards....one could be a fake, maybe 2 were made for a possible replacement, maybe cut from a sheet who knows..

I will take them both to get looked at by Beckett or PSA during the next big card show..see what they say. I also sent a letter to beckett to see if they will publish this story, but I doubt they will.

As for the blow up legs I knew I would get some grief over this item..ha ha...my future wife hasn't seen these yet so I don't know what she will think...I expecting this reaction

 

[DGCollectables]

Don't hide it under your bed thats for sure!!

 

[Noddy]

Nice pickups, Congrats...

 

[A_Iverson_I]

Very odd indeed... but amazing job you have done in picking them BOTH up....

 

[The Truth]

Just hang the legs in the doorway Patrick! lol. Nice living room centerpiece maybe?

Ha ha ...you guys are cracking me up with this blow up doll..

 

[Brian Lee]

Beckett probably won't publish the story because it can have a negative effect on the hobby.

Thanks for shairing, thats crazy I would think it's a back up and it got released in the fleer auctions maybe?
