Help Identifying Aaron Judge Card?

[Mike D.]

An eBay seller sent me this as a bonus card.

Can anyone help me identify it? I don't play much in post-2010 cards and it doesn't have any clear markings to indicate what set it's from.

Without any sort of manufacturer info and/or trademark I'd guess it's a homebrew sort of card that the seller uses as a thank you.

I've gotten stuff like this in the past from eBay sellers. I got a 81 Fleer Yaz in a birthday greeting just the other day from a guy I bought a couple of cards from last fall. He missed by b-day by exactly two months but it's the thought that counts.

ACEO (up in the logo) makes a lot of unlicensed aka "Broder" reprints for sale on eBay and etsy. It's a reprint of the Topps "Living" set that Topps sells online; each card has a print run based on how many people ordered it.

Thanks for the info, guys!

actually its a reprint of the 2018 Topps Transcendent Collection, 1953 Topps Aaron Judge Series. All of these were handed out as a set I believe from 1951-2017 and all were serial numbered /87. The 2018 Topps Living Set is indeed modeled after the 1953 set also, however has a different pose.

The cards were handed out at the 2017/2018 Transcendent Party

Good correction, but I have for you. The originals numbered to /87 were in the Transcendent box (for like $27,000 you got about 250 cards) as a complete set, not handed out at the party. The box did come with an invitation for the party, but you would not have gotten this card at the party, you'd have already owned it (or had the chance in a group break or eBay).
