OK, that's definitely the redeemed winner then. I just couldn't see the foil from the first scan. Looks like you have them all except the pack inserted "Instant Win" card. The Instant Win cards don't have the foil texture to them and basically look just like the regular dated ones.

Okay, sounds like I understand which one I need then... so I have the "Exchange" and NOT the "Instant Win" from my checklist. Are these tough to come by? I see zero of them on COMCs for any player.

Has anyone ever seen or own a 1996 Donruss Press Proof #490 CL Griffey? I have been looking for one forever. Just wondering if it even exists.

I used to have a Gwynn and if I recall correctly, there is no mention of the card being a Press Proof on the card (no gold foil at all). The only difference from the base shown here is that the Donruss Logo and the 1000 Career Hits would be gold and not silver.

The Instant Win's were a pretty tough pull, something like 1 in 721 packs, not postive on those odds, but something close to it. All I have is the Buhner, and I've only seen 2 or 3 others around here.

Randomly seeded at a rate of 1:721 Series Two packs, these thirty different cards could be exchanged prior to the December 1st, 1998 deadline for a complete 30-card set of upgraded Crash the Game inserts. Instant Win cards are very similar in design to the far more common Crash the Game cards also inserted in second series packs. The big difference is the special "Instant Win" logo on the card front that replaces the game dates.

Thanks for the info. I was thinking it would say press proof. Maybe I have seen one and just didn't know it.

What do you know about the Finest Split Screen cards? For sake of example, use 1999. Belle/Bonds are together and there is suppose to be the regular and then the duel refractor. BUT I can't seem to find a copy without one of the two being a refractor. So my question is how many versions are there? Here are three examples (One only with Bonds as refractor, one with Belle only as refractor and the third is both are refractor). Is there a version with neither?

There's no non-refractor/non-refractor version for that set. So there's just the 3 versions. Dual Refractor, Non-Ref/Ref, and Ref/Non-Ref

Cool, thanks. That is what I assumed. Wonder why Beckett didn't add three cards to each checklist then lol ::facepalm::

The reason it doesn't show 3 cards on Beckett's list is because they just list 2 sets, the dual refractor and then just "Finest Split Screen". They didn't make a separate entry for Ref/Non-Ref and Non-Ref/Ref, they just made it one entry and a single card
