Card Identification Forum

Has anyone else ever seen any of these? I acquired it years ago and I think I was told at the time that it was from a National Convention set. I added checklists for the standard sized cards and their parallels here but although one or two sources like Beckett list these 8x10s there, I couldn't confirm that they match up with what actually exists. For example, the Convention versions feature pro uniforms while the original Elite product was college photos like Long's here. Also, I found a Ray Rice on eBay but he's not on the checklist Beckett offers. Another wrinkle is that Long doesn't have an '08 Donruss Elite card to parallel with a set like this (Rice did, though).

If it helps at all, these appear to be printed on photo paper (mine says "Fujicolor Crystal Archive Paper" on the back) and include a sticker in the lower right (mine's the Donruss logo, the Rice has a "P" for Panini) to "authenticate" them.

I guess my question is, if these aren't from the Convention set (and I'm thinking they're not), are they just photos of mockups/actual cards blown up that were printed on photo paper, signed, and stickered? That would lead me to believe that they don't belong in the DB.

If anyone knows anything about these I'd love a response!

The fact that these seem to be produced and issued by a card manufacturer allows them to be included here. However, we do need to get the checklists correct.

Other than the "legality" of site inclusion, I cannot help beyond that.

Thanks, Dan. In some ways these have an Upper Deck Authentics kind of feel to them. They do seem to be convention-related, but beyond that I can't really identify them. I won't worry about uploading a checklist until I can find out more about them.
