1994 Action Packed #31 Tom Gola Signed Card JSA COA NBA Auto Storage Unit
Ā
WHAT WE FIGURED OUT THAT WE FOUND .... were not just boxes of Action Packed cards that were signed and these boxes were not from a collector after doing more research and turns out these boxes were the actual redemption boxes from Action Packed!! When redemptions were pulled in the packs way back in 1994, Action Packed later sent collectors the real signed cards when the collectors mailed the redemptions in for the real final signed cards that were mentioned on the redemptions. This found treasure is the redemption fulfillment cards from the trading card packs and for whatever reason they were either unredeemed by collectors or the redemptions expired in the packs, or they had extra cards signed by the players and coaches or just a combination of all of these reasons. In these boxes we also found 4 gold version cards from this set with the autographs of Bill Russell, Bill Walton, Bob Cousy and Bill Bradley that were never even listed in the set or on any checklist in this hobby as the world never even saw these 4 gold version cards. We have all of them and for the very first time you can own one of these cards in addition to the card you are looking at in this listing, and they can be found on our website or by searching our online store here on this website. The Bill Russell card is a real gem as it is actually the very first trading cards he ever signed with any card manufacturer in his career and limited out of only 100 made. These cards have been going for big money as he historically is one of the toughest NBA player autographs ever (current & former players).Ā Note: you will only receive the card listed in the title of this listing, you WILL NOT receive any of the 4 gold card versions. We are just explaining these cards in the set with the example photo. If you want to inquire about the 4 gold cards, you can search them here on our store on this website or on our website directly.

This 1995 Action Packed Basketball set is a treasure in its own as this was the only year these autographed Hall of Fame set cards were made for Basketball by Action Packed. They are a very early pioneer set of trading cards that included actual hand signed autographs on the cards! They did not do many hand signed trading cards back before this set from other trading card manufactures and from the other sports. To this day, collectors still collect these cards because the style and way the cards were designed as well as being an early on card auto set. They are a thicker card in nature and have a lot of different grooves and dimension on the cards as many parts on the card are raised above the base of the card.

After conducting further research amongst collectors groups, here is an easy way to know how these autographs were authentic directly from Action Packed and not added on in the aftermarket. In regard to the base cards in the set, all of them have facsimile signatures on the cards of the person depicted on the card, not true hand signed autographs. The actual true hand signed authentic cards from the set do not have any facsimile signatures on the cards (like this one here) so that the only autographs exposed on the card are the authentic hand signed ones directly from Action Packed which is what we have here pictured in this listing, no facsimile signature on this card. We are not sure why these cards were never released or what the plan was of Action Packed with these cards we found in the storage locker, but very rarely trading cards never get released from the manufacturer.Ā
