GODS OF THE GAME - COMPLETE PLATINUM EDITION

GODS OF THE GAME
COMPLETE PLATINUM 1/1 EDITION



Gods of the Game Platinum Edition is an impressive series of 162 different Ichiro cards, made in October 2003.

Each card is a one-of-one production, with a silver foil logo stamped on the front. The result is among the most attractive of any of the aftermarket one-of-one products made. Every card includes a Certificate of Authenticity.

Originally packaged in a 1/1 cardboard boxed set, the collection has never been broken. This of course means none of the individual Ichiro Gods of the Game Platinum Edition cards have been offered for sale, nor is it likely they ever will be.

Two in the series are embossed in the traditional manner, and do not have the silver foil stamping. They are so noted.

Here is the entire series — listed by year — in separate sections for each of the major US makers: Donruss (20), Fleer (27), Topps (27), and Upper Deck (88). Date shown indicates original year of issue.

Not every card in a selected series is a part of this set. For example, only 28 of the cards in the 51-card Upper Deck 2001 Rookie of the Year set are included in the Gods of the Game series.
