Sorry this is a baseball thread.However there is a football thread like this.

Yeah...No offense to Jbrown, but Cbrandtw's post kills all of those low end Ultra/Fleer inserts... ( i know a few of them were tough, but many of them belonged here:

I don't think you can win anything with A-Rod...

Back at my parents place and going through boxes and boxes of cards from when I was younger.

Here are some odd balls. Anything you guys recognize? What about these caps, look like Topps.

 

[ffgameman]

I have some of those caps. 86-87 Topps?

I'll post pictures of back. Think they say 1990 in back lower small print, so they could be that or 1991 I guess.

looks like most are from 1989

Just snagged this variation that the fellow board members in this thread had made me aware of. It is a 1997 Bowman's Best Mirror Image Refractor missing the word refractor. Thanks for giving me the heads up on these variations

So you know the inverted versions also have copies made missing the word refractor. I have one of griffey/bonds/jones/cruz

Didn't a couple people get in a pissing contest over this about a year ago and it went triple digits? I just snagged it:

On the topic of cards missing the Refractor designation, I found these recently on COMC:

Marked a Refractor, definitely not one.

Clearly a Refractor (even has a refractor line!), not marked as one.

I raised the possibility earlier of everything from 1998 Finest having multiple possible variations based on the missing/extra R; could it be that most Topps products of the era have the same issue?

Weird

Look like them... Do they say 1990 on the back? Tough to see back from scan. If so, definitely them. Worth anything?

 

[TNP777]

mine says 1989 - please don't tell me that there are some that say 1990!

 

[MansGame]

LOL! I'll take pictures... 99% sure these say 1990

Those are Topps Coins, worthless cheap little metal discs they made 1987-90. Originally they came in 3 packs for 50¢ (or something like that), now Fairfield includes them in those cubes of crap they sell at Target.

Ha this made me laugh, sad but true (or part true). If only we looked at all cards and oddball items in this light. Not just cards being cardboard but people buying marbles, tops to icecream, magnets, etc. Somethings have value and I guess it's perceived value at the end of the day.

Anyways to close out my initial post for people who care, looks like I have a few years here. Top row says 1988 on back, middle 1989 and bottom which is just Puckett is 1990.

I believe the last one did go for an insane amount. I paid around $20 for mine, so you did solid.

Fandruw25, I just saw all of your stuff listed on ebay. It sucks to see you getting out. Your Jones collection is amazing. If its more than you just got bored with it and wanted to move on, I hope it works out.

I have an inverted refractor missing the refractor designation of Maddux.
