this was tough, one per box odds in Series 1. Still looking for his Series 2 APs, which were 1:26 pack odds

I always loved Piazza. Him and Pudge (Rodriguez) are my two favorites behind the plate. Piazza has some awesome inserts from the 90's and early '00s. Being a former catcher, I really can appreciate the skill it takes to do that position and those two have it in spades! Love the collection and would love to have the 3/5 Team Six! Glad you started this thread.

pretty much downsized my collection to a handful of cards, but recently added this... 3 years never seen one and randomly came across. paid way more than i expected, but that's how those bidding wars go sometimes.

also was able to replace my former pristine 10 version 98 bowbest atomic /100 with a raw copy which came back graded 9.5 all around

Loving this thread guys! Hey, who would like to share their NO. 1 FAVORITE Mike Piazza card!?

Mine would have to be the 1993 Refractor I've got in PSA 10. I love that card and its iconic importance in both the hobby and also for being (I believe), Mike's first mainstream parallel card.

@Orangejello727, thanks for sharing those sheets. very interesting. do you mind sharing how you came across them?
