Oh Super Sweet 90's Inserts.... #3

[athletics07]

Ryan Minor :/

followed by another Gold - Calvin Pickering. Damn those Orioles.

Probably have a complete set. 20-30 blues and a handful of inserts. Not bad for $60, less than the price of a box.

pretty good for some loose packs!

Good old Ryan Minor.

Heh. I think he's the answer to, "what's worse than not hitting a 24kt"

Good stuff! You hit one, that's all that matters in this thread!

If a plate includes an image of the foil stamping, there are major problems. Most of those fake Pacific plates include the foil imagery. Silly, but because they no longer exist, there is no one to fight them legally, so Pacific cards are an easy target.

Voice of reason!! But, but a Giambi or Chavez would have been oh so nice!

^shoot, was hoping it was a pedro Martinez. I'm still looking for one!

Out of curiosity how were the cards fresh out of pack after all these years? Stuck together? With scratch marks?

Excellent given my experience with most sets. I'm sure the high gloss/thick plastic like stock helped. The only cards that had trouble were face to face in the pack. Seemed to primarily be the Illuminator insert set facing a blue. But even then, while there was some surface transfer, only noticeable if you're catching the light. All in all, A+ for durability by '90's pack standards.

^ and no scratch issues.

Nice bust athletics... I bought 22 packs of Fleer Brillants the other week around $25 shipped and didn't get much at all. Got a Frank Thomas Shining Star (not he Pulsar) and that was about it.

 

[goobmcnasty]

Still a cool hit. Any Shining Star Pulsars?

What do you guys think about this? I know someone had one up on ebay asking a crazy Amount but looks like more of these exist. Think the color just faded or something? It is uniform in color over the entire card so that might be a stretch. A cool oddball nontheless


For reference:

1997 Doruss Preferred Tin Boxes

Have a couple of big 1997 Doruss Preferred tin gold boxes of Pudge Rodriguez and Barry Bonds. Sitting around in stretch wrap since 1997. Got the itch to bust open the 24 tin packs in each and see what gives. Hopefully, some nice precious metal cards, platinum is good. I'll get back with pics if anything good.
