Question about 2000 Upper Deck MVP All Star Game cards

[jackatl]

Hey guys,

I was going back through some of my older cards and found around 25 various 2000 Upper Deck MVP All Star Game cards so I looked them up. The weird thing is that mine have a silver foil for the 2000 All Star Game logo, whereas all others that I have seen do not have this silver logo. I tried looking up more about these silver logo variations but have found nothing. Here is an example of what the Greg Maddux looks like:



Anyone have any info about these? Are they valuable? I would expect that if I can't find any information about them, then they might be rare for player collectors to find. Any info would be appreciated.

Anyone have any info on these? I still can't seem to find anything about them.

I have a Jason Giambi from the same set with a silver foil stamp exactly like that, picked it up years ago, no idea where. Have you seen variations that do not have the stamp but are numbered AS1 AS2 etc? I was under the assumption that every card from this set had it.

Hey Richard,

Maybe you are right, I tried looking some up on eBay, but all I could find is the larger 3.5 by 5 cards which do not have the silver foil. Are these cards rare? It's crazy to me that I can't find any on eBay.

There don't appear to be any on COMC, either. Maybe it's one of those sets that Beckett undervalues and is just impossible to find.

I guess so. I checked sportlots, too, and nothing. Usually for a set like this you will find at least something on one of those three sites. Thanks for taking the time to help,

And to clear up the confusion even more, I took a look in my 2008 Beckett Almanac (the gigantic book that costs like 40 bucks) and it lists these cards with prices slightly higher than what it says above, with a description saying the cards were released in 3-card packs at the All-Star Fanfest in Atlanta that year. The important part is it shows a picture of the Pedro Martinez card from the set...with the same foil stamp as the Maddux pic above. It does not mention any jumbo versions.

Nice, thanks for the clarification.
