Not a White Whale but a Silver one!

Wasn't sure I'd ever land this one, especially with the price of silver, but when a seller lists a BIN at half the price they should... well... then, you have to jump on it.

211 of these were made but many of them must have been scrapped because they are rare and when they do come up I've seen them go for between $325-$425.

1993 Highland Mint-1979 OZZIE SMITH #116 RC Troy Silver 4.25 ounces Highland Mint card #006/1000 (1000 were supposed to be made but only 211 were actually done).

1993... 79 down, one to go. Sitting now at 79/80.

These don't scan well but they are cool in hand. Very excited to finally have this in hand.

Awesome. Congrats! What's the last card you need from 1993?

The last card I need from 1993 is the same card I'm guessing several player collectors still need and few have been lucky enough to find. It is the elusive... 1993 Pinnacle Cooperstown Promo. I've never seen one but I'm holding out hope.

Yep, that's on my list as well. Good luck on finding it.

You never know - The Cooperstown promo was the last card I needed for Larkin through 1995 and I picked it up a few months ago. Sweet pickup on the Silver card - I bet that thing feels pretty heavy in hand!

Very heavy. Only card in my collection that has a scrap weight/melt value.
