Interesting 90's parallel set (Jeter style)

JEA2880 · May 10, 2009

Hey guys,

I picked this up at a shop the other day and I can't find many of them on ebay. The ones I do find all seem to sell quite well (i.e. $12 for Mark Kotsay). The card is a 1998 UD3 Derek Jeter Die-Cut Refractor/Spectrum-esque parallel #'d /100. Anyone have any idea what this thing might fetch or have any more info on the set?

Marterburn would be VERY INTERESTED!

That's actually a huge find in terms of '90s parallels...Congrats...hope you got it for a steal!

I still need Gwynn like that, I have all the rest... Gwynn would go for 15-20, so Jeters are double, maybe? Just a guess...

An Andruw Jones just sold for $14 and it had a really bad title.

Oh man! Those are my favorite! Hopefully you got that?

I am building this set to the extent of the non-/100 (currently on hiatus from it though), and i have a few /100 and track some sales.

Book value is actually a good approximation for the lesser guys that had/have significant MLB careers, and for the bigger guys like Jeter you're looking at probably about $80 or a little more.

that's an awesome find indeed!

my bad max.

I was thinking about $75, so I wasn't too far off.

Good news and what I was hoping to hear! I threw it up on the 'bay for an absurd BIN with best offer option so let's hope you're right!

In your experience, do you think I'd be better off letting it ride at auction? In other words, are there multiple set collectors who could get in a bidding war as opposed to the BIN/BO? Thanks for the info.

A Mark Grace sold for over $60 a few months ago on eBay (I think I have an old thread on here to it if you do a search). And I wasn't even one of the bidders (already had one). Your Jeter is a great find. Really nice pickup! Now, since you have the hardest one, go get the other 5 variations to go with it...

What card shop did you find it at? Somewhere around Schaumburg? (I work in Schaumburg by the way)

there aren't enough hardcore set collectors to get a significant bidding war going. but it's a great card for a Jeter collector, and there are many many many of those. BIN/BO is a good way to go i should think.

Have the 3 Big Die Cuts. Need the base for the "rainbow" now. LOL

JEA2880 · May 13, 2009

Well, I got an offer of $75, countered with $90 and he accepted. I paid $25 at the shop so not a bad flip. Part of me wishes I had let it run at auction though, interested to see what it might have gotten. Nevertheless, can't complain!

I think $90 is VERY GOOD. and a Great buy on your part.
