questions about this card?

[steelers172]

i've started a danica collection and i'm considering adding this card to it. my questions are:
is this a legit card?
is it actually serial numbered?
OR
is it card number 48 of a 50 card set?

That is a worthless unlicensed card. Those kind of cards were big in the early-mid 1990's. It says 48/50 but there could be thousands made. If it's supposed to be the card number in the set, I'm sure the other 49 cards were never made. Don't waste your money.

Check out the sellers other cards, most of them are the same kind of card. Unlicensed & illegal!

Also if by chance that was a legal card, where the numbering is tells you that it is card number 48 of the 50 card set, NOT number 48/50 of Danika. It is a nice enough looking card and for a die hard collector of Danika it would be a nice addition. Valuewise is as much as someone wants to spend.

It is one of those buyer beware though.

I'd have to agree with what the others have said. While FA Productions does indeed have a website where they sell trading cards (currently they only list and display tennis cards), it's a wee bit weird in that it's only listed as owned by "CYBER JOEL" and no further details pertaining to previous cards that were made and nothing about the "company" itself.

I'm not saying that the cards aren't legitimate cards, but they just weren't produced by any of the numerous "recognized" trading card companies that produce racing trading cards. I guess if "cyber Joel" started a trading card business and was selling legitimate, licensed cards, then we'd all have no problems with purchsing them.

So what others have said, if you like the look of the card and don't mind buying it not looking for an "investment value", but just as a unique collectible for your collection, then this would be a nice card of Danica's to have.
