That's pretty grand!! Congrats! Too bad it wasn't Jeter, that would net you over a K right now.

Awesome box break, Gwynn has to be one of the top Grand Finale pulls in the set! Just amazing to see cards like that still coming out of packs!

So why does this not have the signature on it like the others? The one that I have is the print plate for the front of a card from 1997....wasn't sure if the backs were different. Very cool card! Where did you find it at?

WOW, surprised it's going for this much. Glad I already have mine

That is a little surprising. I figured you would have been the one bidding that up

Are these really as rare as I have heard in the past. What has been your guy's experience with trying to find these? It's a 1995 Fleer Extra Bases Game Test Sample

We've all seen reds and golds soooo, who else has a 98 pinnacle blue?

98 Collectors Choice...note the UD logo in the bottom right.

What is that? Do all the players from the set have this variation?

 

[Fandruw25]

No idea....found it while going through my stuff years ago and this was left over in my photobucket. I only have 1 of the diamond so I'm guessing it's a rarity considering I've got 20+ of the home plate.

Hahaha. Luckily for me, I stopped by a shop in San Diego last year that I used to go to as a kid. I asked the owner if he had any Ken Caminiti stuff. He kinda gave me a weird look like why the hell would you want that. He had to look through tons of stuff to get to it since nobody buys it and I got this card for about 20 bucks from what I can remember.

Do you have 9/10ths of one?

Not sure I understand what you mean....Obviously the blue is miscut but I have yet to see another blue.

I have 5 of the golds /30 and the blue....never seen the rest.

I think the 98's don't have the signature. I picked this up a year or so ago with a bad listing that didn't sell. It was listing title was "1998 Pinnacle card" and I emailed the seller and said I buy it if it didn't sell. Well it didn't sell and I ended up getting it.

Didn't even know there were blues in 1998. Beckett only shows a gold Totally Certified and red certified for Larkin in 1998. Are there other ones out there?

Was wondering if it was miscut or a weird scan. Looks like an uncut sheet fragment, is that what it is?

It is miscut and the guy I bought it from claimed to have grabbed it from a dumpster outside the pinnacle headquarters. At the time he was selling numerous Pinnacle cards but this was the only blue....cost me about $50.
