Card Identification Forum

      In one of my many boxes of ( What The Hell is This ), I found a plastic case with 8 metal cards in it. The backs of them are a plain metal with color streaks on them. 

   They look to me like they may be a set of Printing Plate cards but I can't find them listed. The only Printing Plate cards I can find for Terry Kirby is a 1997 Stadium Club Set.

   Does anyone have any idea what this is or does it go back in the ( What The Hell is This ) box?

    Thanks...   Paul.....

Yes, they are the printing plates. Looks like you have a set of one player with all four colors used, for both the front and back of the card. I have lots of these and they are kind of interesting, especially older ones (I have one for a Bill Russell basketball card). Are you interested in getting rid of them?!?! (he asked hopefully)

     Yes, I am willing to get rid of them.

     Do you have any idea what they are and if they should be entered in the Data Base.

  As far as I can figure out the card that they are for is a Promo card.

     Thanks...  Paul...

The card they produced:

Probably not properly issued, hence the reason the 8 of them are all together in one collection.

Whoever winds up with these will be very happy. Cool find.

   Thanks to all.  

I also had the year wrong it was a 1996 instead of a 1995.

I don't understand the appeal of printing plates. I don't mean this as an insult to those who do like them. To each his own.  I just don't get it.
