Oh Super Sweet 90's Inserts.... #3

[katieneack]

Mentioned I picked this card up a few weeks back - Here is the scan, along with a couple other recent pickups. Going to send the promo in to PSA to get graded. Hoping for an 8 - just has slight bit of chipping on the back edges:

Nice Cooperstown promo.

How many Larkin diffractors are you up to now?

Just picked this one up on ebay today. 1998 Pacific Invincible Platinum Blue. Can't believe it took this long to find...

I know what you mean. I picked up a Rusty back in '98 only to find it had damage. Haven't found one again since. Not my favorite cards, though...

That was actually my first one - and I picked up one other one along with that one. So I have 2 now I know, not very impressive, but I just never see them. I am very happy to finally have a couple though!

This one is super sweet for me- I am trying to think if I have seen one of these in this thread so far...maybe just a Tony Gwynn (which had 300 copies)? Every other player had only 8 copies I think...this is the first Manny I have seen. When I was younger I always thought Roy Firestone had very weird hair-like they sprayed it on right before he went on the air or something. I was not pining for his autograph by any means..but this was a tough 90's insert to track down nonetheless!

First one I've seen since I started looking 14 months ago. I wonder what the print run is.

Theyll pop up. I dont see many larkin diffractors myself. Saw one go for a crazy amount of money on Ebay a while back.

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congrats

A first for me... a sellsheet (97 Chrome) picturing my guy. Anyone collect sellsheets in their player collections?

 

[Mark McGwire Museum]

Nice, I have that one too. A couple years ago I even found a refractor version of it. I think I have 10-15 different sell sheets.

Probably the only "rainbow" I will ever complete. Had the three for awhile and finally got around to getting them all together for a group scan.

 

[flagshipchromecollector]

Very nice.

 

[jszczech]

Love that gold electric diamond. That card is very high on my want list.

 

[ASTROBURN]

I got sell sheets.

 

[jszczech]

I was bored so I dugout a couple cards to add to the thread.

Mirror Blue

Okay, this page has some super sweet cards!
First, Katieneack, that Cooperstown Promo is awesome. It may have moved near the top of my most-wanted...
Padresfan, the Platinum blue Caminiti is sweet. I am actually a huge fan of Pacific parallels lately... The Stand Up Promo is great, too!
Carrsallstars, I thought the Blue Diamond axis was sweet...until I saw the Firestone auto!!! Awesome and so rare!! I do have a Gwynn, but I doubt there's 300, since I have only seen the one ever.
Gracecollector, those sell sheets are cool, and I always stop and take double takes on them when one's with Gwynn show up, but there are still literally thousands of Gwynn cards I can still get instead. Maybe when I have 90% of my player like you, then those sell sheets will be surely going into my collection! (although I will be 94 years old, and I'll need to win a couple lotteries beforehand...)
Youseekyoda421, the Gold Upper Deck was my most wanted card at one point about 4-5 years ago...love Puckett!
and finally, Jszczech, that FPP is huge! The mirror, too. One of the best! Now, go get better scans!!! You should be ashamed to not have better scans of those cards!

Here's my new ones:
I picked up the Gold #'d/99 finally to go with my 24k Gold #'d/24:

and my first Burbank Purchase (like $15, which is a fair price)

 

[PadresFan86]

Haha, you got the 24 kt before the /99?

Picked up all 6 of these 1997 Thomas Leaf GU cards in the last couple months. Still looking for one more to complete the collection. This was game used when it really meant something!
