What Judge card is this?

[DLRCF]

So I got this card in a repack from a breaker years ago, but can't find much info on it. When I search the card number, all the cards on ebay and 130pt show a different image. When I reference the checklists, I see Gold is /50 and there isn't even an /10 listed for the 1986 throwback autos. Was there an image variation version that's not listed on the checklist or something? So puzzled, and I've seen other players have this card /10 as well.

I just looked just out of curiosity if I could find it and you are correct there is nothing out there on this card. Nice card it’s gonna be very valuable.

I mean there might not be a lot of them up for sale and none have been sold recently. Did you possibly look up card ladder to see if any sold 3 or 4 years ago?

I'm going to say that the gold being /50 on the checklist is a mistake and it's actually /10 like you have. I can't even find a picture of one, plus there are a few other players /10 like A-Rod.

I thought maybe that was the case as well, but most of the Gold autos for the 1986 style I see are /50. But there is a Bryce Harper on Ebay right now which is /10, and what's even more weird, there is a Paul Goldschmidt Gold but it's /25, lol.

I guess I could understand if the serial was wrong on the checklist, but that doesn't explain why I cannot find a 1986 auto with this image either. All the 1986 Auto cards I see for Judge are different.

My best guess is that it is this card:

2021 Topps '86 Topps Autographs Gold #86AAJ Aaron Judge

Beckett doesn't show a print run for it, but I couldn't find anything else that it could be.

[DLRCF]

Well Topps wasn't much help. They said cards can have the same card numbers across multiple variations and products, which I knew. I wasn't saying it was fake or an error because it didn't match the image on the Chrome 86A-AJ.

What I found weird, is when I asked about the checklist saying Gold is /50 and mine is /10, and if they could confirm the print runs, they said that at the 1 year anniversary of a products release, they discard ALL data regarding that product and cannot reference is to see print runs, etc. They said the only way to see what parallels and print runs were made is to reference a third party checklist like Beckett, lol. Very weird. And then they said "If you have any other questions, get the card graded" and disconnected chat.

That's funny because I've seen grading companies reject a card because they can't verify it's on the checklist.
