Me too but he is saying Berg didn't go to the 96 Fanfest and there has been two
posted articles saying he did? I can't believe nobody took a picture of the finished
product?

I also emailed Lance and he provided a ton of information about it. I agree I cant believe there is not a picture of these somewhere. This old post on the newsgroups says
"BUT THE BACKS ARE DIFFERENT AS THEY WERE USED AS PART OF THE HOUSE OF CARDS THAT THE PHILLIE PHANATIC KNOCKED DOWN ON NATIONAL T.V."

I've owned a few of these cards and the person I purchased them from claimed to get them at the 1996 FanFest after the Phillie Phanatic toppled the house of cards. That said, I've searched Google Archives in the past and found period editorials that suggest Berg was at both the '96 and '97 FanFest. If I can find those articles again, I'll post them. I believe I inquired to Lance about this once, but never took it any further.

I saw that, someone added most of the Atomic Refractor set a few days ago. I was tempted to grab a few myself but held off, always hoping I can find more in the future.

I pulled up COMC from my phone and didn't think I could get through the checkout process quickly enough. I'm glad I checked when I did.

Totally lucked out and found someone with a small stack of 1997 Score Reserve Collection including the Piazza CL. Now I have all three checklists! But I still need about 90 to complete the set. PLMK if you happen to find any!

Grabbed this Embossed Refractor from same seller - accepted my $8 offer.
While I was on COMC, discovered this 1998 SPx Finite with hand numbering. Guessing it was replacement stock. Interesting purchase for $1.50. Also, anyone ever notice that 1998 SPx Finite have two different styles of serial numbering on base cards? Some players have numbers made up of dots, some with sold lines. Weird.

I think the gold w/ silver lettering was from the redemption, but I never caught where the red-lettered version came from.

Not sure where the gold background and silver lettering came from. But I do know the red lettering one you have is by far the rarest of the three. Many, including myself had always assumed the gold background and silver lettering ones were from the redemption framed set. But it would make sense that the red lettering is the redemption set card being that is one of 2 cards I have seen to date.
How the hell can some of these cards stay hidden for all these years? Absolutely amazing what cards find their way to the light after all these years.
Great rainbow, I am sure a lot of us will be looking for the red lettering card for years to come of our player.

I know the red lettered versions have been mentioned before, I just can't remember exactly what was posted about them since McGwire wasn't in the set. I think it might have been in this thread somewhere, but possibly #2.
