The card was "officially" released in 1994 with Earnhardt's blessing and a sticker denoting it to be one of 999 copies. There used to be a big premium for the stickered 999 version, but that premium has shrank in recent years. A lot of collectors don't realize the back story of the 1988 MAXX card No. 99 not being "officially " released until 1994.

Hmmm... I bought it instead of the 1989 because naturally I thought it was one year earlier even if not considered by the mainstream hobby to be the "rookie" card. Should I revisit that?
