So as I'm sure most 90s collectors realize, seller sambo_sambo sold off a bunch of Red Crusades lately at open auction (among other great cards). Anyone here grab one?
I picked up the Ripken and was very happy to add it to the collection. The last time I remember seeing an open auction, somewhere around December 2010, I had just started collecting again and had zero appreciation for the card. I thought it was overpriced and didn't realize why anyone considered it special.
Then fast forward a few years watching search after search come up empty, I appreciated the rarity. And after seeing lots of discussion or showoff pictures in other PC threads, I definitely wanted one. Then as luck would have it, I snagged a purple from another seller on the same day! Now I can quit dragging my feet on the Green since I have motivation to finish the set.
Anyways, share your stories if you enjoy this set. These cards are amazing in hand and I'm glad to finally own a pair!
