Today I received one PM from one forum I subscribed.
/I had one in college and it was stolen and sold by my roommate (along with a couple other high end cards), being from Minnesota, it was my pride and joy at the time and I have never been able to find another one. It's my most wanted card in the entire world./
I'm just curious Because this Buyback was released 2 cards as my knowledge.
But I haven't never seen and herard another one since 2001.
SO I assumed this card is 1/1.
I won't care if this card is 1/1 or 1/2. But just curious...=)
Question is the same like title.
Have you ever seen or heard another KG Autographed Buyback ?
2000-01 Ultimate Buyback - Autographed on 1997-98 Game Jersey(1 : 2,500) 1/1 ? or 1/2 ? - ODD 1 : 225
Graded to keep permenently.
(Small Episode about that card in my country - South Korea)
Many south Korean(Korea is my residence) have found fault with me and this card. lol
I posted that card with kind description around 2001-2002 then I quit my hobby for a while.
After a few years later, I came across one thread about this card.
They uploaded my pictures without my permission or favor and they found fault with me and this card like this.
"He said that card was released only 2 but who knows? It's only his insisting !"
"IF that card was released over 20 cards, I would buy whole 20 cards !"
(I won't forget those kind comment for me and this card. =) )
But Those poor guys haven't had (and will not have) this HUMBLE card and I have had this REALLY Humble Card.
The Point what I want to tell you about this episode...
I'm really happy because members of this precious forum has not been like that Losers in my country.
(After seeing that thread, I watermarked many my cards to protect those Losers in my country act like owner but don't have anything.)
Thank you for looking and do me a favor about my broken English,Please. =)
Just as long as you have the certificate and the holo on the back, be safe to know it is yours. If you want to be sure, email UD and get them to check their database with the certificate number, to make sure yours is the real one, and to also ask to see if any others were made.
Also, yours may have been bought of whoever stole the other guy's card - unless you busted it from a pack yourself. You never know.

well , I dig my HDD then I found something pics about Ultimate Buyback.
(I already have many cards not my owned but really georgeous pictures not uploaded yet at my PB. and most of them are 90's and pre 2000's.)
And I haven't considered 2001-02 Ultimate Buyback.
ODD of 2001-02 Ultimate Buyback is really low.
But Ratio of 2000-01 Ultimate Buyback is crazy. 1:225
Can you imagine that ratio? You can that each pack(packaged as box shape) around 200-220$ DLVD now.
At that time it was around 500-600$ per pack.
Left one - Right one is first Ultimate Baseball pack
During my digging, I noticed only limited, limited and limited cards were autographed.
(In other words, like masterpiece..so your comment would be really right !)
Voila !!
All from 2000-01 Ultimate and cards are all Buybacks.
The only thing I could find as autographed were only 2 cards except KG of mine.
This is malone-32 AKA hardaway-1(Taiwan Crazy Anfernee Hardaway Collector)'s
Autograph looks weird but it would not be fake.
The only thing I could find as autographed were only 2 cards except KG of mine.
Anfernee Hardaway is Crazy Meaningful Because that is only 1 / 1
(And he didn't autograph on any Orlando Magic Game Jersey Card)
But Kobe is really beautiful and nice but there is more beautiful one from 1999-00 UD and UD Encore.
(So not meaningful like Penny and KG)
And another Buybacks were non-autographed.
Throughly this buybacks, some kinds were graded, the others were not.
I saw another buybacks(all non-autographed) not listed below
1997-98 Upperdeck Kevin Garnett (the same card as mine but non-autographed and Graded with SGC)
1999-00 Upperdeck, Upperdeck Encore Allen Iverson
and below 2 cards are mine
For KG
That card # / 21 was from 1999-00 Upperdeck and Upperdeck Encore.
(from Upperdeck # / 21 and from encore # 21..of course autographed on 1999-00 season UD and UD Encore Jersey)
not mine - owner is a valued member of other forum.(MJ fan)
from 2001-02 Ultimate Buyback. But not meaningful as 1/1
But UD Version has a little problem.
Because of UD commercial, UD released more than 21 cards.
(not from pack version AKA UDA)
There will always be people like that in the hobby, for whatever reason, have a grudge against you. Trust me on this, and you don't even have to do anything wrong. People have their issues in life.
It is a shame it happens, but you just enjoy the good bits of the hobby, with the bad.
Also, just because they are bad, doesn't mean you jump ship and act like that also.
I too have been asked and queried on why I do not water mark my cards also. In the end, I'm in it for the hobby and people love to see my maildays (well most, some have issues with it or me) and water marking it would only spoil people's fun. As I like to let people see what I see, and the enjoyment I get out of getting something into the collection.

Well, I was really ittitable because I was younger than now.
But now I don't care about those losers anymore and most of wartermarked cards were watermarked around that time.
(I just want to tell you about episode of this card.=) )
Now a days, I haven't watermarked most of my cards like yours OP.
