I am unable to figure this one out. The SN300 cards aren't AU. Mine is LL-8, SN300, AU https://www.tcdb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/13433/2002-Donruss-Best-of-Fan-Club---League-Leaders?PageIndex=1#2042716 The AU cards are LL8, SN25 https://www.tcdb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/13434/2002-Donruss-Best-of-Fan-Club---League-Leaders-Autographs Any ideas? Thanks!

Is it possible that Donruss took the first 25 of the 300 and made them autographs and the rest inserts? I've heard of this being done, but not sure for this set. What does the imprinted stamp say?

The SN25 note might just be wrong? Both scans show #/300. Another explanation is that it could be that the first 25 of the 300 are signed?

This is exactly what happened. If you were around back them, this was a very common practice for DLP.

If we determine that's what's going on here then we can make them "AU, PR25, SN300"

Beckett list this as a PR of 25. I concur and remember the same thing. League Leaders were SN to 300, and a subset of 25 of those cards had a sticker auto and stamp slapped on them. ------------------------------- Collector's Crack , The Yount Collector ,The Rollie FIngers Collector, Long Way From Lambeau, Miles From Miller, Buck and Blackhawks

The Stamp says....Authentic Signature, above and below a 2002 Donruss logo. Would that mean that the SN300 cards are actually PR275? Since 25 of the 300 are AU? Thanks for the help! I will add the scan there then

Print run after SN. It's less confusing that way FreehanSolo wrote: If we determine that's what's going on here then we can make them "AU, PR25, SN300" ------------------------------- * Ed * L8 * Cards in my personal Collection are unavailable *
