One of the rarest and most striking cards from Belle’s late-career run with the Orioles. This 1999 Essential Credentials Future is serial numbered 03/94 and features the signature gold holofoil finish of the 1999 E-X Century set. The design is pure late-’90s fire—bold, experimental, and layered with texture and shine.
Graded a BGS 9 Mint with subgrades of 9.5 for centering and corners, 9 for surface, and 8.5 for edges. This is the only Beckett-graded copy in existence—pop 1, with none higher. PSA’s population shows just one Gem Mint 10, two 8s, and a 3, further emphasizing how tough this card is in high grade.
The “Credentials” line has become a cult favorite among 90s insert collectors, and this is a gem from one of the most overlooked power hitters of the era. A true ghost card—and one of the best-looking pieces in the PC.
