Card Identification Forum

Anyone know where this fits?  There are a few others like it from COMC:

And they have it categorized under just "T" or "T Autographed."  There are "Titans" and "Titans Autographs" insert sets listed on TCBD that share the T prefix in front of the card number, but those only have 5 listed cards and seem to be reserved for high level athletes.  The mysterious T athletes I see here don't fit that category.  Another interesting bit:  The "T" cards have "Printed in Canada" on the bottom, while the regular Tetrad do not.  I'm not finding anything else on this weird pair of insert sets, not on Beckett or anywhere.  Did Canada do a variant print of Tetrad?

I`ve got a couple baseball cards,T2,T31 that I`ve been looking for a list  to put them in for years now....no AU,no SN,just reg. cards.....Steve

This is most likely a redemption card.  That year of SR Tetrad had "point" cards you could collect & send in for autographed cards.  That's why that set has the foil "You Make The Call" whistle logo - since you could decide what to get with your points.  There's a NNO Information Card in the insert checklists, with rule #5 stating that 1 & 2 point autographs are chosen at random.  The back of the information card only mentions a few player names with the catch-all, "Players like:" for anyone else.  The "T" prefix is probably for Trade, or Trade-In.

I would assume any non-autographed versions were overstock, or cards that were un-signed, or not finished by the players.  The autographed versions all seem to be hand-numbered, though 5000 appears to be the standard quantity - at least for the "common" 1 & 2 pointers.

As for a checklist of those redemption cards... it will likely have to be assembled piece-meal from exhaustive searching.  I only had a couple of them back then, but they are not in my possession anymore.

I have nine of these cards. Eight of them are signed and have a foil hologram sticker on the back. With one exception, the signed ones are numbered out of 5000. All of my nine cards are printed in Canada. I highly doubt that 5000 of any card were signed. I have been collecting Signature Rookie autographs since the nineties and I have never once seen any one of these cards with a serial number higher than 1,100.  One collector here has speculated that these cards were "trade -ins", hence the "T". That's a possibility I suppose. There's no definitive information I have ever found on these cards. I would very much like to see a full checklist or at least the card numbers and players of any other cards. Here are my cards...
