Card Identification Forum

Can anyone provide a source and year for this standard size card?

Thanks

Looks like you've stumped everyone.  Sorry, I'm no help on this one.

I've seen similar ones with other players. Don't think a source has been identified. Based on the serial number type/style used and the line about when Cal is expected to break the record places this card in the early 1990s. The Math wizards can figure it out based on the mention of Cal's game streak "is over 1,700 games and climbing". The card "predicts" him due to break the record in the 72nd game of the 1995 season. He broke the record in game 122.

The card didn't predict the 1994-1995 MLB strkie.

Border very similiar to the '92 Donruss Elite.

D'oh then he could have done it 1994? (Had the strike not happened of course :) )
