I picked up a selection of nine outstanding 1990s inserts and parallels recently. I showcased them recently on my YouTube channel:

I recently picked up the Fred McGriff 1999 Metal Universe Gem Masters 1/1. These cards are absolutely gorgeous. My amateur photography skills don't give this card the justice it deserves. There is actually a slight metal-like rainbow finish that gives these cards texture - I find the design...
The cards are more dazzling in hand under a bright light. The card surface has a sheen like quality that makes the card pop out.

I've been using my iPhone to create videos for my YouTube channel this past year, but feel that it is time to upgrade to something a little more professional. In particular, I'd like a camera that does a good job of focusing in on small font sizes. I'd be willing to spend about $500.
Thanks in...
I hope these two guys (Stanton especially) has a big Saturday night.
A couple of great rookie cards:

I am thrilled to have recently added this 1998 Flair Showcase Perfect 10, Scott Rolen card to my collection. These cards have a canvass like silk-screen texture and are numbered out of 10.
While not the most expensive/valuable sets by any means, Upper Deck did a great job with inserts in 1999/00 HoloGrFX. For example, this Kobe NBA 24-7 Gold is gorgeous.
I totally agree about seeing all of the great inserts from the 1990s and the like.
I talk about the following two cards (and more great 1990s cards) in my next video episode:
