@magicpapa if and when you ever want to trade or sell that 1997 Finest refractor please shoot me a pm :)

Also had a nice mail day today to complete two of my favorite 90's parallel sets I thought I'd never complete as a kid.

Another one came today in the mail. Anyone know why these are so cheap to pick up? They are 1 in almost 3,000 packs.

Not always a huge fan of slabbed but for parallels that look pretty similar to their other variations 9 or above I can live with.

the gold medallions were going for $60 a pop or less for the last few years... I honestly don't know what's changed. A few new griffey collectors perhaps?

I don't think that a lot of people actually knew how rare those GM were, most Ultra GM are 1:100+ Those hitting machines on the other hand are insanely rare and perhaps since they don't look a whole lot different maybe people were skeptical?
Who knows. Just guessing here :)

I'm not saying they weren't hard to pull, 1:2880 packs is VERY TOUGH, but that doesn't mean they're that rare...depends on the production run of the product. Anyone know how many cases/boxes/packs were produced? I'm not aware of any serial #'d inserts, so it's tough to back into a total from the stated odds.

I just posted this in the box break section but had to post it here as well. Just pulled this from a 2012 Archives box that was discounted at Walmart. Probably my best pull from a pack yet. 2012 Topps Archives Baseball Fan Favorites Autograph.

Nice hit! One of my fav autos, and horribly tough to pull. I opened 11+ cases in 2012 and pulled exactly 1. Hate that they hid some in retail, but glad u got lucky. Congrats!

Hey guys. I'm now down to only needing one auto to complete everything from 1994-2000. It's the 2000 Ovation /10. I know a couple of you guys have one, and if you want to get a cash/trade deal that is heavily in your favor, please contact me about it. You can check out what I currently have on ebay (user name dr_mccarthy). Please see if there is some combination of cards there that you like, in combination with some cash. Thanks!

I also have a really nice redemption I am waiting to get redeemed. It is from the 2013 Topps Ultimate Chase. It is a 1/1 auto relic. That set only consists of a handful of 1/1 autos. So, that one would be available for trade as well.

Yes, I have one. Unfortunately, these 'oddball'/regional cards don't get the love they deserve and are often far more rare then pack released/name brand product. They were limited to 125 which were only available to certain executives in the business. There were 3 different versions of this card: Gold (being the more common /2500), the silver at /250 and then the copper at /125 or less. Hope that helps! :)

I'll always be a 'Kid'...like THE 'KID'!
