Player Collectors-What 90s cards are the toughest to find for you?

[Philip J. Fry]

For me, it was the 1998 Donruss Crusade Red. Numbered to just /25, I had an easier time finding the 1997 Flair Legacy Masterpiece 1/1 (and cheaper, too).

Howmany people have the 1993 Finest ReFractors?

I picked up an Alan Trammell 1993 Refractor on COMC for $20 recently. There's plenty of other players in that set I collect, but I'm not likely to find a George Brett or Will Clark Refractor for $20.

 

[TNP777]

Heh, that's just the tip of George's refractor iceberg. I've got four or five Butlers, most of them slabbed. Best one's a 9. I'd love to have a 10 someday, but it may well remain far out of my budget.

The 1995 Upper deck electric diamond gold. The ones in series 2 are impossible to come by. Ive been player collecting for around 7 years and ive never seen an Alan Trammell come up for sale and only know of one person who owns one.

Well, this wasn't easy. Took 22 years to find - landed it this morning.

1990 Donruss Blue/White Test

Only hard 90's left for my Grace collection are:

1994 Topps Gold ABCD Winner Card - Non-Reedemed Version
1998 Pacific Online Winner
1999 Fleer Tradition Starting 9

Very nice! The Sandberg went for nearly $1400 - way too rich for my pockets.

The Nolan Ryan's and Will Clark's were most impressive! Almost makes me want to list my Ripken... almost...

Whats the story behind the Blue/White test?

Whats the story behind the Blue/White test?

From the info I have, they were discovered in the same find as the Aqueous Test cards. The cards have a player on each side and have the usual semi-gloss coat on the front blue side, and the rough cardboard back on the white side. The blue is a darker shade of blue than the 1990 Donruss A.L. best set. From keeping track of these I've checklisted 160 cards in the set so far. For some cards you can find both versions, meaning if Manny Lee is on the blue side and Tony Gwynn is on the white side, you can also find it with Gwynn on the blue and Lee on the white. It is unknown whether matched pairs for each player combo exist though, I've never seen a inverse for the Ripken I own. There are a few that have the same player on both sides as well. None of the cards that are in the Aqueous set exist in this set, so a different sheet or sheets were used. Also, it looks like all 50 cards that were double printed by Donruss that year exist in this set, which explains why some players appear in 2 different player combinations.

Any chance Biggio is in that checklist?

 

[Hendersonfan]

For the sake of you sanity I hope not.

Don't have a Biggio on the checklist yet, but I doubt he's in the set as he's #306 in the regular set and most of the Blue/White fall between 500-716 with a few of the Diamond Kings, Rated Rookies, and BC Bonus MVP cards in there as well.

Grace Collector glad it was you who got that. I wanted it for Brady but glad it went to a player collector.

Thank god he isnt in that or the Aqueous Test cards

$36 is seeming like a steal on the Grace/Brady. My snipe was $102.

Howmany people have the 1993 Finest ReFractors?

I got mine a while back. Cost 120 i think. a far cry from what the price was when I started. This was booking at 1400 at one time.

 

[BiggioBrooks755]

That card is awesomeeeeee

I would have gone higher but upcoming wedding and Holiday shopping has me strapped.
