Just curious what that 1990 Topps Griffey looking card is? Assuming it's rare, because well, it's in that box, but I'm not sure what it is...

Wow impressive what did this cost you and how long have you owned it?

It Was A VERY Nice Christmas Present From Another Griffey Collector, Roy Birchler :) Prolly have had it 8 or so years ( [MENTION=2078]bigalbert[/MENTION] were you the one that originally pulled this card?? )

I see , regardless if they do exist , congrats on what you do have...

..and for some reason, my favorite is still the PSA 10 Crusade Red. Something about it being in that slab makes it the sexiest!

These are also some new additions, which took me many, many, YEARS to track down.

Not that I know of, nor have I ever seen one.

From everything I have read/seen, not every player had all 3 colors. I could be very wrong, but that's what I've gathered.

i hope you are right, but it seems like we will never really know. my understanding was that all the players did have 1 red, 1 purple, and 2 green, with the exception of Rickey Henderson, who had one green prototype but none of the other colors and no regular issue release.

the collector who recently sold some of these on ebay had picked up a near complete set, but a number of cards were missing. one of them being the green Griffey that [MENTION=1759]magicpapa[/MENTION] has.

i picked up the Piazza rainbow but, based on what i've been told, assume another green exists out there somewhere.

I also picked up these two Pedro Martinez cards. tracking down the Red may take me forever...it would be great to know if it didn't really exist :)

^forgot to mention, these cards have a special appeal to me beyond the regular packed out versions because both Piazza and Pedro are featured in different uniforms in both cards - so I have Crusades of them in Dodgers, Mets, Expos and Red Sox unis...

Nice Biggio Crusades bud! I saw the last two Reds on eBay in the $225 range. Doesn't seem too bad with the HOF hype surrounding him lately.
