Not that every website is correct, but according to baseballcardpedia.com:
"Most of the base cards are available in two 658-card partial-parallels.
- Gold (serial-numbered to 2004 copies)
- Black (serial-numbered to 53 copies)
Only cards #1-#331 and #368-#695 are available in these parallels."
COMC (even with listing the sold out cards) only goes up to 695. And as DaClyde pointed out, that's what Beckett says too.
Our friends at CardboardConnection mention the parallels, but nothing about the limitations (present or not).
One person's auction on ebay states:
"Each cards serial numbered out of 2004.
Cards numbers 332-367, 696-716 and 719-733 were not made in the Gold version" - so, maybe, just maybe 717 & 718 DO exist in the gold parallel. Hmmmmmm. Can't wait to see what you have randylaw.
