ahh ok -based on the pics it pretty much looks the same as mine, but maybe different lighting - that is why, like others have also said, it would be nice to see this side by side to the base card so as to see the differences. Otherwise it might just be able to attribute the differences to lighting.

I see that with the Ken Griffey Jr "Tiffany" cards a lot -- but when you put them side by side, absolutely no comparison.

I guess my whole point here is with it being typed vs printed it seems like someone could alter some of the less rare cards by simply typing a 1/1 on the card and trying to pass a base card off as the glossy one

The only cards I use the words holy grail for are the printing plates( the rainbow for all four of them).  Perhaps all 4 printings plates could have a value of a quarter million if the right buyer comes along.  PSA 9 on a 1/1 card or a 1/5 card with no higher grades should be of no concern, if it was less than mint it could make a difference.  Anyway, there are my thoughts on the matter.   Best way to find out what it's worth at this moment is to auction it.   Good luck, it's a beautiful card.

I don't know that it's the RAREST card, I own the ONLY ERROR card that came from the Topps medley of cards for 2018. Your card was made intentionally.... the real UNICORN is the one in a million, mistake card. Most collectors put that ahead of a 1/1 card for "Rarity". Just sayin', also...I have a Cryptocurrency 3-in-1 card that's a 1/1 as well. So, you're not the only one to have one of one's. But, hey, your card is definitely  cool. Congrats!! 

playing devil's advocate here - are there other differences to the card vs the base card? Would be nice to see one of each side by side for comparison - the reason I say this is, if it is exactly the same as the base card but with a typed 1/1 on it - what would keep everyone with a base card adding a 1/1 on theirs? is there any way to validate which 1/1 would be the real one then?

Are you the one that pulled it? Do you recall noticing it right away or ?  i never give those full-size cards a second look.  They should do something special to differentiate the full-size special ones.

Look it's a nice card no doubt but a quarter mil is just insane.  I'm aware of the card scene and the price I would say would be in the thousands, i dont really think it's in the 10s just single thousands.  That is an assessment based on previous sales (which was much hotter when they came out vs now) and other rare hit cards and what they are going for. This is not a knock just a reality.  Good luck with your sale either way it's a nice piece.

So what are you looking to get for the card? (sorry I don't follow all replies).

Attached is the link for the back of the card, I hope this helps. I am looking for an offer. I don't have enough knowledge to put an accurate price. Some of the cards have already sold for 6500 as shown in the first post and was  numbered to #/25. I can throw it up on ebay and put a buy it now for 250k just to see what kind of offers I get. I know that is a bit high, but someone may want to send some love, IMO this is the holy grail of them all.

Thanks for your help on ebay last night MRSTACY, I appreciate your knowledge. Thank you minerjones with the assist!

This is definitely the real card. No questions abou that. PSA has verified. I don't want to list on ebay because they want 10%. I am having trouble embedding the picture as I am not good with forums. I have provided a link with the full psa card, I did some research before I posted the full picture. I dont see why its rated a 9 as I could have just got this authenticated if I thought it was anythig less than a 10. corners and centering are good. They graded mint, I feel it is gem mint. I hope this can find a good home soon.

Looking at geophphreigh's post maybe it could be the glossy 1/1. The OP reference post could have been a mistake with the handwritten part but we will wait for the experts to come chime in. Would be nice to see a standard #83 beside this card to be able to make the call. I do believe we have people that have open communication channels with Topps and they could confirm.

The fact that the mini 1/1 glossy is written in pen still looks fish for this card though.

I think there three cards where there were 1 of 1 cards - as posted in the original post on this thread.

this one is a full size but has a blank back, so again cannot be the one you are talking about

also as teegumes stated, all the numbered cards have been penned, none typed.

the one you posted appears to be the base, lowest value card with 1/1 most likely done with a typewriter as it does not look printed on.




edit - geophphreigh above stated that there was a 1/1 typewritten for the other base cares so maybe it could be legit? I only have the original post as reference.

Topps does release a 1/1 glossy for each of the base cards, separate from the base, hotbox silvers, and other numbered cards. It has the "1/1" in typewriter print on the back, not hand ink, but for these cards only I believe.  Here is an example of the 2018 Ichiro card to compare the type on the back.

I am not sure I have seen this 1/1 for #83 here before, but maybe I missed it. A very nice card if you happen to have it. One way to find out what it is worth is an auction and see what someone is willing to pay for it.

To me it looks like you're either trying to scam or have been scammed by someone with a typewriter. If you look at the following cards none have the perfect machine inked 1/1 written in the font your card has.


These are handwritten in pen x/25.


Also a 1/1 as you claim your card is, but this is numbered in pen 1/1.


The mini black printing plates seem to have "1 of 1" printed on them by a machine and in completely different font than your card, including the use of the word "of" rather than the /


Red mini, by far some of the rarest most sought after cards... once again x/5 written in pen.


I could be totally wrong here and we'll wait for one of the experts in this thread to confirm. As a lurker of this thread this looks like a very suspicious attempt to sell a regular card that you added 1/1 to yourself. Your brand new registered account doesn't lend any help to this.

Anyone know what the 1/1 Rookie card is worth? The Black Lotus Magic card goes for over $350k This is the rarest of rare rookie cards for bitcoin. It's not a blank back or mini card, it is the 1/1 Standard sized card. This is the rarest card pulled from hundred of thousands of packs
