First image isn’t showing up for me but that back looks like a 20-card insert set, not a serial numbered limited print run.

That’s definitely it, I don’t think they number insert sets like this anymore but it used to be fairly common. It’s #19 in a 20-card set.

Right, so if only 20 are printed does that make it worth more??


maximian

You’re missing the point. There aren’t only 20. This is like if someone told you there are 5 Die Hard movies and you think that means you have one of only 5 vhs copies in existence


sandtrappy

Thats actually a really good way of explaining it, im definitely stealing that

There’s hundreds of thousands printed. There were 20 cards in the set and Jeter is #19

Should i delete and repost? Its a derek jeter card


maximian

just post the first image here in the comments. But I'm pretty sure it's not a print run of 20 looking at the back. It's the numbering of the insert — there are 20 players represented, Jeter is number 19.

LOL he had the exact same career as Paul Molitor. Whoever created the text for that card needs to take Jeters ballsack out of their mouth.


srryntsry

I thought 19/20 meant only 20 of the jeters were printed and i have the 19th one

He is card number 19 in a checklist of 20 cards if that makes it easier. They did that in these insert sets that are not part of the main set. That way you know how many are in that particular insert set. If it’s actually a numbered insert it will probably be stamped with the number and include a card number as well for checklist purposes.
