Barry Larkin
Year: 2002
Brand: Playoff Piece of the Game
Insert set: Materials (relic)
Card number: POG-9 (bat relic)
I picked this relic up off of eBay a few months ago - but I'm only now posting about it since I was trying to find some answers first (for which I failed, by the way). According to Baseballcardpedia, Barry Larkin had two different relics in the Materials insert set, an "A" version and a "B" version. I have no idea which version I own - and I couldn't find out any other information about the Larkin relics anywhere online (the only other Larkin relic image that I could find matched the one I own).
In addition to the mysterious "A" and "B" versions of the relic, there are four parallels to chase down (none of which I own currently). The parallel information is courtesy of Baseballcardpedia:
In terms of the relic that I own, the front is nothing special but I really do like the fact that Playoff showed the actual photo from which the bit of material was taken. Based on the back image, I assume the "other" version of this Larkin relic contains cloth from that Larkin vest shown in the photograph.
If you are interested in the Playoff Piece of the Game set, I reviewed a full box of the stuff back in 2012. The box I busted featured two bases, two bats, and two jersey relics.

On your 2002 POG-9 I too believe the B version is a jersey and that there are only 100 of them, and NOT serial numbered. This is based off info I found on Beckett. Good luck finding one.
