Is it the only one in the world? It also said it was a one of a kind collectible, I need info please.
P.S. It was an 2007 topps opening day card.

Well, it's sort-of a one-of-one. Topps, and other companies in the past, have cut up printing plates into the component card images and inserted them into packs. There is only one magenta plate for the Arroyo card, and you have it, but there's also a yellow one, a black one, and a cyan one (the four standard printing colors). They have limited popularity in the collector aftermarket -- superstar players will always command interest, but a player of Arroyo's caliber, not so much. The images visible on the plates depend upon how much of the final image needed that particular color of ink (black tends to have the most detail, and so a black plate might command a small premium over the other three). Check completed sales on eBay.com for other Topps printing plates (of any color), and you'll find the common player plates tend to go for $5-25, maybe a bit more. It IS unique, but there's so many that the demand isn't there unless you've got a superstar player plate.

Yes there is only one. I don't see hall-of-fame in his future though.
