Card Identification Forum

Do some of the 2004 Donruss Classics football have a serial number on the front in addition to a serial number on the back? For instance,on the back of the card is 1/3000 on the front of the card is 1/2.

thank you!

First take, seems to be part of a buyback program. Now to track down which buyback program this is from...

So is it legitimate?

Owning both copies of an SN2 is interesting

Panini does have a SN2 Franco Harris buyback listed in their 2016 Panini Classics Buybacks insert set.

https://www.tcdb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/132257/2016-Panini-Classics---Buybacks We are currently missing the checklist. Panini lists around 474 Buybacks in the set. That's a lot of card numbers and notes to verify.

Best guess is yes.  I'd assume the 1/2 and 2/2 refers to the autographed version.  Looks like they took the regular cards from the set (serial number on the back) and then had Harris autograph two of them as part of a buyback...

Just ran into that exact situation for Christmas.  Panini has a set of 2022 Panini Instant Rookie Logo memorabilia cards that are SN2 (not in TCDB yet).  They took a large team logo and split it in half to create two patch cards which were sold as a set for way more than I would have spent.  I got the David Bell set for Christmas.  They have the same design and card number with the only real difference being the left or right half of the logo and the serial number.  One is 1/2 and one 2/2.  Here's a link to the Malik Willis which is still available (and I can guarantee they didn't pay anywhere near that for the David Bell cards)...
