What is the premier card of the 1990's?

cbrandtw · Jun 19, 2009

With the recent sale of the Red Griffey Crusade it got me thinking to what is the premier card of the 90's. It doesn't have to be the most expensive but which card:

1994 UD Mantle/Griffey Auto?
1990 T Thomas NNOF?
1997 SP Buyback A-Rod?
1997 UD Griffey GU Jersey?
Particular Finest Refractor?
Particular Select Certified Mirror Gold?
Particular UD auto from heroes series?
1998 Griffey Red Crusade?

It may not be any of these but these just came to mind. It also determines how you interpret "premier". Thoughts please.

1993 Finest refractors graded PSA 10

To me, the 94 Mantle/Griffey is the ultimate card that I to this day love to see scans of. I believe one member has it in his sig.... simply amazing.

I'd go with the 1993 Finest Refractors.

Or the first autographed jersey card, like the one in my sig

The 1998 Babe Ruth 500 hr club piece of history upper deck bat/50.

1999 century legends gold Ted Williams autograph/100 or the Ted Williams 500 hr club piece of history autograph/9.

Oh and the 1990 Topps Frank Thomas NNOF should start being referred to as the "Blackless" instead of NNOF :mrgreen:

Same set has a Mantle /1 and I believe a Ruth that's /1 or /3.

How about that one triple auto card of Mantle/Yaz/Musial?

jdpreas · Jun 19, 2009

How about those McDonalds cards only released in ohio or something?

FLOUR · Jun 19, 2009

I thought that was Idaho.

I believe 1997 Flair Showcase Masterpiece Ken Griffey Jr. row 0 sold for the most out of any card in the '90s and received tons of attention back in the day.

matfanofold · Jun 19, 2009

I'd go with the arod sp rc. I really have a hard time giving the title to obscure, hard to find, low print run inserts.

I can only imagine

An MJ Precious Metal Gems green /10 sold for 15k

On page 1406

I found the new/old Leaf memories autos......

The 1990 Topps Pascual Perez

jay1065 · Dec 17, 2012

- 1990 Topps Thomas NNoF
- 1993 SP Foil Jeter

MansGame · Dec 17, 2012

Set... I'd say Crusades for sure.

Card... I'd say the Mantle/Griffey Auto is flat out awesome.

You could make an argument for various 1/1s and cuts from the late '90s but those type of cards are a dime a dozen now a-days.
