Very nice. That's one of the last 3 I need to complete the 2000 SOTT set. That's the 1st I've seen that went for under $300. You did well. Congratulations on an awesome card.

I have a question, since I am not an export in racing cards per say, but have much in other areas, what make the 2000 SP authentic sign of the times different than the 2000 SP authentic "gold" one other than being numbered? I ask this because One was just listed on ebay, exactly like mine, except it's numbered. Identical card. I know in other sports upper deck usually changes something like gold lettering foil, or gold ting to the card.

You nailed it. The only difference is that the gold has a gold UD hologram on the back and is #/25. Not all of the 2000 SOTT set had gold parallels.

Thanks for the clarification and the reply.

A 99 upper deck Circle auto went for 545, so that is how I based getting the 2000 SP Authentic. In other sport SP Authentic is usually a higher dollar brand. Was the 545 for the 99 circle a deal, or bidders war?

the upper deck victory circle is only the 2nd one to ever be seen...there have been plenty SP autos from 2000....it is still one of his top 5 autographed cards and usually sale around $300 ...I sold one last year for $400 but the autograph was really bright and the card was as close to mint as I have ever seen...you ain't hurt...but if the 99 had been listed a little better it would have brought close to $800...
