2005 UD Origins Baseball PROMO cards
*** VERY SCARCE ***
These 2005 UD Origins Baseball Series II PROMO cards were created by
Upper Deck for Krause Publications release at a major sportscard show.
Krause skipped the show and these promos were not released.
The 2nd series (#101-200) was selected for the PROMO issue because
of it's inclusion of great veteran Hall-of-Famers like Babe Ruth,
Mickey Mantle, Joe DiMaggio, Cal Ripken, Nolan Ryan, Ted Williams,
Ernie Banks, Yogi Berra, Stan Musial, Tom Seaver, Brooks Robinson,
Al Kaline, Mike Schmidt...

We obtained them years later at a large warehouse auction.
They are so scarce that complete sets or even large lots
can't be found elsewhere. Even commons ask $1 to $3 each
if found on eBay.

Baseball card collecting terms (part A)
Airbrushing is the art of touching up a photo prior to the card being printed.
It was generally done to remove imperfections or update or hide a players
jersey/cap logo. Because of advancements in print technology and computers this is
no longer needed.
All-Star card (AS) usually a subset card picturing a player who participated in the
previous season’s all-star game. Topps created these in their 1958 High Number
issue and has continued the practice fairly regularly to date. Such cards
are usually designated in price guides with the abbreviation of AS.
Assorted A general mix of cards often containing many duplicates.
Auction items are sold to the highest bidder. Auctions used to be live
or thru the mail/phone but today most auctions are online.
Auction Catalog lists the rules and descriptions and often images
of the items in an auction.
Authentication verification that an item (card, autograph) is genuine. Most "game-used"
material inserts have a written declaration of authenticity on the reverse.
Authorized Issue card or memorabilia item that has been properly licensed. If
the item is of a player, his written permission must be given in order for it to be considered authorized.
