1996 Stadium Club Extreme Gold cards...(anyone got one?)

Are these real cards or are they "redemption" type cards? I just bought a few off eBay and was taken back with what the guy actually sent me.

I was under the impression that these were "real" cards, but it appears that these are just a form of "promo send-in" cards, or at least that's what was sent to me.

Anyway, does anyone know where I can get a scan/example/image of a card from this series? Or are the backs of these cards actually what I have posted here:

Front:


This was on the Back:


It's the backs that threw me off. Is this normal? Beckett says the Clemens example should be card #25, but there's no numbering on these cards.

Yes, that is what backs are supposed to look like. You have the "Extreme Players" cards which came in Bronze, Silver, and Gold versions. A collector used the different versions to redeem them for the "Extreme Winners" 10 card set, which had normal backs.

Thanks. That explains everything.
