Top 100 Jose Canseco Baseball Cards – 2005 Absolute Memorabilia Absolute Heroes Reverse Spectrum /25

Let’s talk about 2005 Playoff Absolute Memorabilia Absolute Heroes: REVERSE SPECTRUM.

This is the toughest of the non memorabilia cards in the set for Jose, and frankly, the Reverse Spectrums are rarely talked about.

Numbered to /25, the difference between these and the higher numbered parallel is the fact that the background colors are reverse, giving it a beautifully striking contrast.

With 50 subjects being given the /25 Reverse Spectrum treatment, that makes 1,250 total having been created. If I’m reading the PSA POP reports correctly, it appears as though there are only three of these 1,250 that have been graded. Why?

One reason might be perhaps that they were cut wrong. I just tried putting my Jose in a standard one touch … it doesn’t fit! It is a bit too wide. I’d imagine it’ll fit nicely in a BCW magnetic, but will test that theory out later.

In any event, this is definitely a card that doesn’t seem to get much attention, is quite rare across the board, and is quite the eye catcher!
