This is a 1996-97 Topps Fantasy Team oversized test card that is about 1/2" taller and wider than a regular card so you see a bit more of the original photo Topps used to create the card, prior to it being cropped for final production. It also has a thine silver border around the card on the front and thin white border on the back. Printed on regular stock with back complete. For some of these, I have more than one available so the photos are only a representation of the card you will receive and may not be the actual card. Most of these have surface scratches or other minor defects that keep them from being nm/mt, but are good otherwise. 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 $3.00 per order for US addresses. That means you pay one low fee for the entire order, no matter how many cards you win. In order to qualify for combined shipping, a SINGLE payment must be made for all cards in the order, so please wait for a consolidated invoice before making payment. For non-US bidders, S/H is $5.00 for the first card and $1 for each additional card with a cap of $15 S/H fee per order. However, if order total is $50 or more for non-US bidders, a $30 registered s/h fee is required instead of the $4.00 s/h fee. This is for my protection as well as yours. |
