One of my favorite inserts from the '90s is the '98 Elite Back to the Future release and all of it's auto'd parallels, largely because I pulled the Ryan/Maddux autograph and hope to complete the autographed run one day. I was fortunate enough to pick up the Thomas Executive Proof last year, not only to enhance my Thomas PC, but to further my BTTF set; it's notable because the reverse features Travis Lee, rather than David Ortiz who eventually made the cut.

Enter this next card, I had previously known of the Thomas/Lee EP, but was unaware that Alex Rodriguez's card with Nomar Garciaparra had a similar change from it's proof form. Introducing ARod and Tejada...

Also really stoked to add a proof of the '98 Hamburger Helper hand-cut card, featuring white card stock, production cutting, cropping differences, and text changes on the reverse.

I have no clue why I do it sometimes, but looking at completed auctions I have missed really bothers me. This one really gets under my skin since I need it for my Alex RODRIGUEZ collection. Check out the title.

Oh well, the search continues.

Same here. Trying to track down a 1995 Select Certified Mirror Gold Derek Jeter for my master set and I missed a PSA 8 for ~$70 not long ago. I don't want a graded Jeter but it seems like they all are and they're all 9 or higher so ridiculously priced.

If it is any consolation maybe the four screw down case damaged the surface and you would not have wanted it anyway. ;). Just trying to see the bright side for you. Saw the this one while live as I am one of the resident Chipper collectors. How rare is that card?

Now you need to look for this ?1997 Bowman's Best Mirror Image Refractor Inverted #MI6 J.Guillen/J.Gonzalez/R.Hidalgo/G.Sheffield---- Not marked Refractor!

I know this holds little to no weight for a player collector, but when it came available, I actually got on FCB, started writing you a message, and then the itch was too strong, and I deleted and bought it for my set. Should I ever give up hope on finishing the set, I'll let you know.
