Does anyone know if there were preview cards put out for the 1998 Collector's Choice set? Because I have this Jamie Moyer card which has the same front and back image as the regular issue card, but this one is number 4 in the set, not 237. Anyone know what this is? |

Good question. Usually preview cards mainain the same card number and just say preview on it somewhere, but it could be a promo of some kind. Do you have the #237 card to compare it to?

Could it be from a team set? I see Score did a mariners set, but could CC/UD have done the same?

There were 1998 Collector's Choice team sets for at least these teams:
Baltimore Orioles
Chicago White Sox
Cleveland Indians
New York Yankees
Seattle Mariners
Texas Rangers
They were sold on blister packs like Topps does these days. |

I originally thought team set as well, but when I looked it up, the team sets used different pictures and designs, and the cards use the team initials in the numbers (i.e. SM7 is Jamie Moyer's card from the team set). Suomibear, I don't personally have the #237 card, but it has the scans for it in the database and I came up with the same images when I searched it online. The card I have is completely identical to the #237 card scanned in on here aside from the number on the card. I know cards will occasionally get misnumbered, but usually they're only off by a couple, not a couple hundred. |

The Topps team sets have letter prefixes, but the 1998 Collector's Choice team sets did not. At least the Baltimore, New York and Texas sets did not. |

Prefixes or not, the Jamie Moyer is a different number in the team set than the card I have (He is card #7 in the team set), and I have seen a scan of the team set card and it has different pictures and a slightly different design. |

Checklists have been found and posted for the Orioles, Indians, Yankees and Mariners. I can't find complete information for the White Sox or Rangers. The sets were all 13 cards and sold on blister packs. The packs had the checklist on the back, so if I can somehow track down unopened sets, I'll post scans to the packaging section, as well. These things are surprisingly difficult to track down. |
