Card Identification Forum

That has always been my feeling with my particular card. Though makes a lot more sense for a Tim Duncan than it does for many of the other names that pop up.

@Barbequechicken - those posts are interesting reading for anyone interested in a bit of history on Scoreboard/Ken Goldin. I uncovered them a while ago when searching in relation to Olajuwon/Drexler autos on a 94-95 Stadium Club card but with Scoreboard COA.

If they were selling single autograph cards on QVC and HSN, it's possible for a big name like Duncan they reprinted the card a few times and he signed in several different batches for different networks/outlets, resulting in the different color autographs.

I would certainly be happy if that was the case. (Though as always remain skeptical!)

Also, if they were selling to those networks or other outlets, it is possible that there were extra unsold cards and/or cards that never made it to the broadcast that may have been wholesaled/clearanced out by the network through some kind of liquidator.

Guys I think there is a little bit of a tunnel vision here on like specific Duncan autos and things which may be a slightly different limited release.

The OP asked about a set which has been identified as 1997 Score Board - Authentic Autographs - Red Foil. (If a different name is concluded upon in the end that’s fine.) Comc has many examples of these. This particular set’s theme is college players available for the 1997-98 NBA Draft class. Looks like several of these guys actually went undrafted. SB seemingly had a college focus and missed out on Tracy McGrady (high school) it looks like.

Now, look at the checklist of players here. It is only logical that this was a set sold together. Nate Erdmann, Peter Aluma, and Kiwane Garris would not get their own singular air time on the home shopping channels. And, there is no reseller in the world that is going to buy up these supposed printed-up but unsigned cards and find these guys to have them sign them. 

Again, the autos are real. For one, the employee notes many times in his posts that while SB was not run intelligently, the autos were in fact authentic. I can give my two cents in that I have owned one of these cards, Jacque Vaughn and I know that that is his real signature, I have owned a few as a fan of his and the Jayhawks. 

There are also gold foil parallels of these that are SN500. So I think the these common draft rookies were 1 thing, sold together, and previous stars such as Iverson, Drexler, Ray Allen would be an insert/related of some sort as they are printed with “PSA Graded” on the card itself or “1996-97 All-Rookie Team” and are a different draft class obviously.
 

So is the bottom line that there is no checklist for this/these cards?

No, someone would have to create one with the proper research for what is known to be out there (i.e. COMC, Ebay history, Grading Databases, Mavin, Worthpoint, etc.) since it is doubtful a full checklist is documented anywhere.  This is assuming these were released to the market legitimately (either from Score Board directly or the bankruptcy sale of their assets) and not stolen/backdoored.

Thanks for the clarification. Very interesting situation
