2006 Topps Alex Gordon RC #297 (Full card)

Topps pulled from packs to comply with the new Rookie Card rules set up by the MLBPA. Because Gordon is not Rookie Card-eligible under the new Rookie Card guidelines, he was removed and Topps never replaced #297. This card has jumped from $400 to $3,500 due to well known collector Keith Olbermann. There is a more common cut out version and a rare blank front version of this card.

1998 Donruss Signature Series Preview Jason Kendall #NNO

These cards were never returned to Donruss and was probably given out to friends and family.

2002 Topps 206 Jason Giambi Autograph #TA-JG

I believe these were never signed, thus never released onto the market. Giambi signed an exclusive contract with Fleer, so these were never released.

Auction was listed at $500 or best offer. Sold for $375.

2000 Ovation Ryan Anderson WP RC #70

1990-91 Hoops Sam Vincent #223a

After the release of the original card, the NBA licensing board didn't approve of the card that pictured Michael Jordan wearing the #12. Fleer/Skybox was forced to pull the card from production and replace it with another photo. To my knowledge, the story behind it was that Jordan's jersey was stolen before the start of the game, so he wore #12.

1994 Fleer Pro Cards Michael Jordan #633a

During production, this card was pulled because Upper Deck had exclusive rights to Michael Jordan. Since Fleer had a deal with National Association to produce team sets of every minor league team and players, they were allowed to release 10,000 sets (80,000 of the 90,000 were shredded). Since the first Jordan card was initially pulled, a new pose had to be ordered and used for the released team sets. All but roughly two dozen of the original card was destroyed. I've only seen 1 on eBay.

2004-05 Topps Rookie Photo Shoot Dwight Howard Autograph

Statement from Topps: We give all the players at the rookie shoot cards for their personal use. We could not put this one into packs, because UD had the exclusive rights to sell Howard's autographed card. So this is one from his own personal collection. Rookie shoot cards that are found in our packs have the 3M hologram sticker on the back. With the sticker, you know it's 100% authentic.

2003 Netpro Premier Edition Anna Kournikova Blue Variation #10

Anna Kournikova #10 Card that was pulled from the set in the very beginning stages of production. The reason the card was pulled is because it was learned by NetPro that Adidas had used that original #10 picture for an advertising campaign.
