Shopped Cards #13

OK, a new age dawns for Shopped Cards. We're switching to much harder puzzles, and we're going to use a 20-questions format. It's me versus you, the readers as a group. See if you can identify the card in 20 questions.

Here's how it works. Post a question in the comments that warrants a yes or no answer. For example--"Was this card produced in the last 10 years?" or "Is most of the card yellow?" I'll post the answer to the question. Then, the next question can be asked. Ultimately, you should be phrasing your guesses as questions that count as part of the 20. For example--"Is it 1984 Topps Don Mattingly #8?"

I'll accept the first question posted after each time I post an answer. Subsequent questions posted before I answer the earlier one will be ignored.

OK, let's start with one that I really think is not too difficult. You should definitely get this right before 20 questions.

    I guess I will ask the third question since nobody else is stepping up to the plate per se! If that ok with yoy Andy. If you are limitting to one question per individual, I completely understand and thus disregard my question.

    Q3 Is the card part of a main set (aka 1983 Donruss, 1988 Fleer, etc.) or part of a subset (traded, the rookies, etc)?

    That's not a yes or no question.

    It's OK if you ask multiple questions, but you need to give it some time. Not everybody reads these things so quickly. I'd probably ask you to wait a day between questions.
