Wow, same seller had a 1998 1/1 last month for $1100 too. Super impressive.

Picked up the Big Cat Embossed Refractor non-embossed vars from the same dealer with all the non #d finest golds. Hope I can spur some craziness too!

Heh, picked up the non-numbered '99 Finest Gold Refractor of Galarraga myself. Not sure how to pitch that listing :)

Wow. I guess I should make a note that if a Belle ever spikes to just lay down because I'm not spending $1k or $2k on any Belle card.

What the story with those? Is that the foil version? Any idea of print run? I saw a Griffey like that sold for 455. Said it was a test proof? Just curious

Kinda peicing 2 stories together I heard on these:
the football set APs used the rainbow foil and a few sheets of baseball APs had the same foil applied before they realized. Most think only high numbers are affected though I just found someone claiming to have the entire set so we shall see.

Good luck JP, With the AG craze I would think that 22 bucks may have been very well spent!!

The football theory doesn't make any sense since 1995 Pinnacle football AP's looked like this:

1995 Select baseball AP's used a similar foil to that Galarraga, I wonder if that was somehow involved in the mixup. Also 94/95 Pinnacle hockey AP's appear from pictures like they may have had a similar foil.

I'm working on the 1998 Stars N Steel Gold and Gold Holographic sets and have stumbled upon a few duplicates along the way. I'm about 10-15 cards short of each set. I understand these are tough to come by, would trade any of these duplicates to help fill my sets.

These pics aren't so great, I can get better scans of any of these.

Well there you go, that's how rumors start lol. I never collected anything but baseball nor actually checked. However they came about they are definitely rare as I've never seen them before. I actually think they are a better parallel than most /99 or /100 inserts that just change color foil.

I have the Edgar Martinez, but there's a bit of peeling on the bottom two corners. PM me if you're interested.

Are these/recognized/catalogued as a parallel or just an error variation? Albeit super rare variation?
