At initial time of listing, I have four different versions of this 3-card uncut strip. You are bidding on the exact item listed, and only one version. This is version #2. All cards are flat (not embossed) and are complete on the back. This is the Members Only version. It's printed diagonally across the backs of all 3 cards. Please check my other listings, as I have multiple variations of this proof available. You are bidding on the exact item pictured. Versions I have include blank back, members only, embossed, flat (embossing missing), complete back, color bar, etc. Some have embossing errors and would make a cool variation to the standard card. And a handful have some unusual line embossing, as I'm sure they were trying to get the press and embossing process set up properly during the proofing process. Most do have some surface scratches, some deeper than others. So please don't expect a gem mint or mint card. Most are in excellent condition. No rips, bends, creases. Just scratches on the sensitive foil surface on the front of the card. Some basic facts about the proof cards I sell are as follows: 1) Unless otherwise stated, the backs are complete. 2) For most of them, the fronts are complete, although some foil may be missing. Please see pics for further details. 3) If any corresponding finished versions of the cards contain autographs, game-used items, or serial numbering, the proofs DO NOT have any of these attributes, as they are indeed just proofs and not the finished product. 4) If it's a single card, it is typically 1/8" to 1/4" taller and wider than a standard card in order to differentiate it from a pack-inserted version. But not always. 5) If it's a 2-card uncut panel, then it's obvious that it wasn't pack inserted, but even these are typically individually larger than a standard card. 6) Some of the proofs have extra "dead stock" (that was removed for the final version of the card), color bars, etc. 7) Proof cards were not meant to be released onto the secondary market. As such, they aren't always in mint condition. Some may have surface scratches, but other than that, they are usually nm. Flat-rate shipping fee is $6.00 per order for US addresses.
