I have a Jacque Jones card that looks like it has the same design as 2003 Fleer Focus but I can't find it in the database. How do I share a scan of it here for everybody to see?

To post an image in the forums it must be hosted/uploaded/stored on a website (have a URL). It cannot be stored on your phone or computer. I use imgur.com. Open the image on the website, right-click on the image, choose "Copy image". In the forum Reply, put your cursor in the Reply box and then paste the image (Ctrl+V).

My gut feeling is unlicensed at some level. No copyright info anywhere so that leaves out all the manufacturers of the time. Doesn't look to be stadium giveaway as there is no sponsor info. So yeah, good mystery

Fake. Also it has wrong total for Games (should be 547), forgot to include HR in the XBH total (should be 190), and the SLG is somehow 2 points off even though it has the same yearly totals as the real card (should be .465).

Agree. Some type of custom card using Fleer's Focus design. No brand or copyright/trademark info.

That makes sense, thanks for the replies. That hadn't even occured to me previously simply because Jacque Jones was not exactly a big name. I mean, as a Twins fan I liked him. He was a good player, but it surprises me that somebody would even go to the effort to make an unlicensed card of him. Usually they only do that for the high end superstar players.

With the errors and the lack of copyright, I wonder if it was a test scrap. Do they have test scrap with modern printing? I agree that it is unlikely to be a fake. If it is a fake, it isn't good (with no markings and incorrect data), and who in 2003 would have any interest in that card? Maybe in the 80s someone would pay a dime for something like that, maybe a dollar during peak Jones. But 2003 collectors wouldn't pay for a minor star card that didn't shine, have a serial number, autograph, or jersey swatch.

Generally, the condition I look for is: 1800s-1929 - G and up (1+)... 1930-1951 - VGEX and up (2.5+).. 1952-1967 - EX and up (5+)... 1968-1978 - EXMT and up (6.5+)... 1979-1994 - EXMT/NM and up (7.5+)... 1995-present - NM+ and up (8.5+)
