This is my blog that's real purpose to get Shaquille enthusiasts and Shaq card collectors alike to have a place to discuss rare Shaquille O'Neal cards. I've been collecting, pretty much strictly, Shaquille O'Neal cards for many years. I what I discovered, as have many other collectors, is that there many thousand Shaquille O'Neal cards, of which there are quite a few rare, numbered, and parallel versions of his base cards. This blog is to help investigate and showcase Shaq's rare cards.

Ok, so here we have a 1999-2000 Shaquille O'Neal fleer Mystique #22 card, parallel. OR IS IT? This is my first post and this is the type of discussion/investigation I want to conjure here on my SHAQCARDS blog.
ReplyDeleteAs mentioned this is some kind of parallel version of 1999-2000 Shaquille O'Neal fleer Mystique #22 card. The base version of this card is similar in that it is (front) purple on top, goldish on bottom, but the peanut looking area with Shaquille's name is silver. This card's is gold in the peanut looking area with Shaquille's name on it.
And of course the biggest difference is that the whole back has a gold glitter/sparkle look to it that I have absolutely never seen on any card, be it basketball, football, hockey, any card ever!
Now there is another parallel version of this card which is the serial numbered STAR series version. Which is (front) gold bottom with red peanut area and red serial numbers up to 2500. Nice card still sells kind of cheap on ebay, but I like this on e too.
Ok now we have identified 2 other versions of this card, neither of which have the same same front of this card and obviously not the back. SO WHAT IS THIS CARD?
I wrote another Shaq card collector last year and he said "it could be" some kind of printer's proof card. Not sure how that possible since I've never seen a proof card with sparkle back that looks like the sparkle from Olympic sparkle cards (see ebay for examples). Maybe it's some kind of wild sticker? Or is it just an error (I don't think so ...).
LET THE DISCUSSION BEGIN ...
Maybe its from the fleer bankruptcy auction.
ReplyDeletebut what we need is something to compare it to ... like a similar card from the fleer bankruptcy auction ... please write back ..ty .. jesse
ReplyDeleteI have only read about the auction. I have seen some shaqs that are proofs or whatever from the auction on ebay. Do you have a 1994-95 finest cornerstone test refractor? I have the lottery prize refractor.
ReplyDeleteWhere did you get this? Ebay? I think I've seen it or another like it on Ebay.
ReplyDeleteactually i tried this once before on ebay last year, and that where i got the info that it may have been a proof card ... yes i bought this on ebay also about 2 years ago, i know that because all my cards came from ebay, well like 99% ... no i dont have a cornerstone test refractor ... actually not sure if ive ever seen the test refractor version ... isnt the cornerstone card the clear card? so guess the test refractor version is like the BEST SHOTS REFRACTOR (just assuming) ... the lottery prize refractor is nice too ... Not boasting, but i have like 15 test refractors ... love the test refractor cards ! ok back to this card ... YA LETS LOOK INTO THIS FLEER BANKRUPTCY AUCTION THINGY .... i mean all we need is one comparison and case closed .... be it baseball hokey football or even pokemon card .... PLEASE FEEL FREE TO EMAIL ME ANY CRAZY SHAQUILLE CARDS YOU MAY HAVE OR EVEN REALLY RARE BASKETBALL CARDS .... i'll do some research and may showcase/blog that card ..... romanjesse@gmail.com (NO SPAM PLEASE)
ReplyDeleteDid the seller say where it came from? A pack? An auction? Trace its origin! THe cornerstone is not a clear card. thats the ironman. I have never seen a cornerstone refractor!. only read about it. Lottery prize refractor is RARE!.. I have 95-96 finest orange test refractor in psa 10! I have a 93-94 skybox shaq talk double front error and a 96-97 flair hot shots shaq with michae jordans name on front!
ReplyDeleteyep those are good cards ... you know i have no recollection of the specifics of when i got this card ... i just remember it was about 2 years ago ... i just bought so many cards i can remember .... it could have actually been part of a lot ~; ..... OK YOU WANT TO GET SICK ... I FOUND A PDF ON THE FLEER BANKRUPTCY AUCTION ... LOOK AT SOME OF THE CARDS THEY SOLD FOR A BUCK! i have to get to work now, i didnt look for this card, but this PDF is worth checking out ...... https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&pid=explorer&chrome=true&srcid=0B2pc3JWUeNzdOGU4MDgzNmUtMThhNi00MjZkLThlNTQtYTBlMjk0YzFiNGZk&hl=en

ReplyDeleteWOW!
ReplyDeleteI think the PDF is a list sent to potential bidders in the auction. I think everything started at $1. Where the hell were we? LOL COOL STUFF DOOD
ReplyDeleteOk so I was looking on beckett.com and there are 2 more parallel versions: a gold version that is not numbered and a 1/1 version. Maybe you have the 1/1 or and error of the gold version.
ReplyDeleteOK BEFORE I GET TOO EXCITED ... can you send me pics of the 2 other cards actually id like to put up all the cards think it would be pretty cool .... romanjesse@gmail.com .... now that im thinking, lol, i remember a gold version, but you hardly see it ... but this 1/1 thing thats worth exploring ... no mention about the bedazzled back with the 1/1's , huh? is the 1/1 numbered?
ReplyDeleteno pics available. The gold version looks just like what you've got but it doesn't say about the back of the card being bedazzled. It doesn't say but i would think the 1/1 would have it marked on the card. Is there a jordan in this set? See if you can talk to a jordan collector and see if there is a card like yours
ReplyDeleteOK SO WE NARROWED IT DOWN TO THE FACT THAT THIS IS A PARALLEL OF THE GOLD MYSTIQUE PARALLEL CARD. I FOUND ONE ON AMAZON SELLING FOR JUST A COUPLE OF BUCKS ... BUT I HAVE TO SAY THAT THE FRONTS WERE SIMILAR, BUT THE COLORS WERE SLIGHTLY OFF ... COULD HAVE BEEN THE DIFFERENCES IN THE PHOTO QUALITIES, BUT MAYBE NOT ...
ReplyDeleteMaybe the sparkle on the back is the stuff that makes the front look kinda like a refractor. Is the the card thinner than other cards in the set? Like maybe its like a blank back error or something.
ReplyDeleteno, actually the front is just like the gold version. more to the point ive realized it is the gold version. i havent had the card in my hand in a while and i dont own the gold version (which i should get for a definite comparison) but i dont remember the card being any thinner or shinier then what should be normal, not to say it isnt, bc like i said i never had the "real" gold version next to it to compare. and as far as it being an error, i mean if it is it's the mother of all errors! you know there are "no foil" errors where ppl are asking for 2500$ ok thats too much even for bret farbe rc, but this aint no opps card, this is like how the hell did that get there ... so im really leaning towards this was done on purpose ... like someone said lets see how this would look with this wild sparkle all over the back.

ReplyDeleteyou know what I'll leave your comment up even though it's inflammatory. And you're not Anonymous if you tell people who you are in the message. Anyway, so in the forum there are a couple of guys who said they bought a couple of boxes of something ... they are not specific, but the cards had a front and back peel and they for numbered cards. He goes on to say they card is worthless, but can not point to a single other card that is similar. NOT ONE FUCKEN SINGLE CARD! NOTHING THAT LOOKS LIKE IT, JUST STORIES BETWEEN HIM AND HIS FLUNKY FORM YEARS AGO LEGENDS!!!!!!!!! AND ACTUALLY I THINK THE IDIOT IS TALKING ABOUT BASEBALL CARDS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHICH HAS BEEN MY POINT ALL ALONG !!!!!!!!!!!! THEY DID NOT MAKE THIS KIND OF CARD FOR BASKETBALL CARDS !!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS EITHER THE MOTHER OF ERRORS OR A FLEER BANKRUPTCY TEST CARD SOLD DURING THEIR BANKRUPTCY SALE ... BUT THIS IS THE WHOLE POINT OF THIS BLOG TO CAUSE CONTROVERSY AND BET PEOPLE TO REVIEW SOMETHING DIFFERENT ... SO I INVITE PEOPLE TO VOICE THEIR OPINIONS AND I WILL ACTUALLY ADD THE FORUM IN QUESTION TO MY BLOG
ReplyDeleteDo you guys remember these? I bought a 16 box case and some extra boxes back in the day... these are not 1/1's hahaha just the peel that came on both sides and you would peel them. I guess somebody sold him a 1/1???
ReplyDeleteI DON'T REMEMBER THOSE ... WHY DO I HAVE TO REMEMBER THEM? GIVE ME THE FUCKEN EBAY ITEM NUMBER OF SOMETHING OUT OF THAT BOX !!!! SHOW ME ONE CARD FROM THAT GROUP !!!! TALK ABOUT BULLSHITTERS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SHAQUILLE SHAQ RARE SP 1/1 RUBY EX CREDENTIALS GOLD PRECIOUS METAL GEMS PRISTINE | eBay
Haha this guy is a trip. He knows exactly what the card is and is trying to hype someone into overpaying... his whole 'subconsciously don't want to sell' .. haha is the guy a used car dealer?
I reported the auction for keyword spamming and advertising his blog a while back, but apparently eBay doesn't want to oblige to taking it down, as it might make them some $$$ if it sells!
OK NOW THAT'S JUST AN ANTI-HETEROSEXUAL WORD !!!!!!!!!
Saddest thing is some poor schmuck will end up paying a grand for that crap. As far as eBay removing listing...forget about it. I sent them three complaints and reported items where the guy had my exact listing word by word with my freakin' signature in the listing and they still didn't remove it. They are worse than ever!
hahahaha now that's funny! Sad but true, and funny! haha
Ebay these days is all about making money and the hell with them all...
THIS IS THE TRUEST STATEMENT THIS GUY HAS MADE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BUT OTHERWISE HAS NOTHING TO BACK-UP A DAMN THING HE'S SAYING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow I liked to peel those when I was a kid.. how awesome!!! And yes that's no 1/1 lol
THEN WHAT IS IT ????????? YOU DON'T KNOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DeleteNot trying to offend you, but that's just a gold parallel with the front glitter layer pealed but not the back.
ReplyDeleteHere's a box
http://www.amazon.com/1999-Fleer-Mystique-basketball-HOBBY/dp/B0015O4TVG/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1326366606&sr=8-2
buy it and you'll pull at least 5 of the same glitter cards front and back, which you can peal off BOTH SIDE to reveal the parallel or insert.
DONE! IM BUYING IT RIGHT NOW, THEN IM DOING AN UNPACKAGING VIDEO ON YOUTUBE. HEY IF WHAT UR SAYING IS TRUE, THATS GREAT. ALL I WANTED WAS TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS. BUT TO SAY IM TRYING TO RIP SOMEONE OFF. THAT'S JUST WRONG MAN. BUT USUALLY YOU WILL FIND A CARD HERE OR THERE WITH THE STICKER STILL ON IT. OK THIS SHOULD BE COOL, NEVER DID AN UNPACKAGING VIDEO. THEN I'LL POST RESULTS ON THIS BLOG. SOUNDS LIKE YOU KNOW WHAT UR TALKING ABOUT. AND IT WAS GOOD TIMING BECAUSE THE EBAY ITEM WILL BE ENDING SOON AND THAT WAS MY REAL PURPOSE OF PUTTING IT ON EBAY! NOW IF YOU LOOK AT THIS BLOG AND ALL THE EFFORT AND INPUT IT'S TAKEN FROM SEVERAL PEOPLE INCLUDING AN EBAY AUCTION (ADVERTISING PURPOSES MOSTLY) AND YOUR FORUM. THAT'S A LOT OF PPL LOOKING INTO THIS. THAT'S ALL I WANTED! THANK YOU! JESSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ReplyDeleteAH HA! I really want one of these now. Soo cool and so much fun lookin in to this dude. Id like to know whats up with all the Classic games Shaqs that are unsigned auto's. Obviously, they leaked out the back door, but A lot of them are graded very high. seems strange to me. I have one of the Four sport Shaq and kareem abdul jabar autos that only is signed by kareem?? wicked weird.
ReplyDeleteYOU SEE THIS GUY GETS IT ... WHATS LAZER-A? OK , WELL YOU HAVE MY EMAIL, LETS LOOK INTO THIS. romanjesse@gmail.com send me a scan or ebay id # and i'll start a blog up. i think i know the cards you are talking about. some or autoed others are out of 54000, others 10000, some say congratulations, or promo. all kinds of good stuff. i sold an out of 10000 for 20+ bucks, then bought it back for 5 bucks, bc i saw it was a rarer one.
