This is his base card, which notes that he was drafted by the Cubs. I've had this card for a few years now. Just a couple weeks ago I picked up a couple parallels that I hadn't seen before.
I usually check ebay and COMC pretty regularly for Barney cards. For reasons I haven't figured out, I missed these.
Here's the first:
The card is a diecut parallel. The black parts in the upper left and bottom right are cut out. This red version is called "Status" and its /50. I bought the card as soon as I could, having never seen one of these before.
Just a week later, this popped up...
...the blue version. This is called "Aspirations" and it is /100.
How odd is that.... two parallels that I'd never seen before appear within a week of each other. I did more digging to find the complete checklist for the set. Turns out that each of these also have an autograph version. There is also a Gold Status that is /25. I guess I'll have to keep a look our for them too.
