Decided to complete the 1997 mirror image base/refractor/atomic sets. Have alot on the way, and only a few cards away from completion. Here's a few of my recent pickups. Also picked up some miscellaneous best cuts and regular atomics too.

I know nothing about it other than I feel like I saw an image in a publication once:

Would love to know more on this set too. Perhaps a contest in Japan, similar to the Draw Your Own Card promotion they would run later in the US? I believe Bandai had a partial ownership stake in Upper Deck, but am not sure about anything more. Have only ever seen one of these Griffeys, would love to learn more!

I have seen quite a few of these, all have scratches or refractor lines that would likely lead to a low surface grade from BGS
Did these cards have a protective film that could be peeled off? If so, peeling it could raise its surface grade considerably if the film is scuffed.

No, no film.

Most I've seen have pretty significant print lines - usually one vertical and one horizontal. I bid high on this Lofton because it doesn't have any:

Regrettably, I sold my Ripken almost as soon as I got it. But I did pick this one up at some point last year, complete with print lines and those little scuff marks you can see:

I'm just waiting for some backdoor copies of these to hit the market so I can be even more disgruntled with 90s collecting :sourgrapes:

Did anyone pick up the following 1997 Totally Certified Platinum Gold or the 1998 Leaf Fractal Materials Z2 Axis Barry Larkin on ebay recently?

I'm bummed I missed out on these and I'd pay a premium if anyone is interested in selling.
