2000 Upper Deck Yankees Legends Baseball Forum

I only collect Elston Howard so I don't know if this has been discussed. I have this card but the bat relic is different. It looks like they had square pieces of the bat, then punched out the Yankees logo, and used both the inside and the outside for the cards. The one in TCDB is the inside but I am attaching my card which looks like they used the outside. Would this rise to the level of a Variation? I mean there are variations from a single period after a copyright so I would assume a different shape bat relic would be a Variation but before I created it I wanted to check and see what others thought.

2000 UD Yankees Elston Howard Bat card

Link to the current card I am comparing to.

looks like the gold set

Now that you mention it, the UD hologram on mine is gold and the one I linked to is silver. Had no idea there was another set and the auction I won didn't mention gold either. Yep those all have the outside pieces of the bat. Figured after 20 years it had already been noticed!

Thanks!

One Legendary Lumber (Silver, Gold) inserted 1:47 packs. The MEM note in this set refers to a piece of game-used bat. The wood swatch on the front is in the shape of the Yankees monogram ("NY" logo) with a blue outline, and the hologram on the lower left back is silver.
