I have never seen Belle. Back in the day I would have given a ton for it......still would.

I have passed on one, reasonably priced, mirror black ever. It is the Mark McGwire CS and is in a collection on FCB. Others I have seen but they were being pimped not offered FS.

No the entire set was likely not made. This statement is based on conversations with a friend who worked there in 1997.

GC - Is there anything on the card other than it being a refractor that points to it being what it is? I'm sure a lot of people might not even know what they have. Same for like COMCs, would they even know?

Ah ok, I just wonder who does / doesn't exist then. If they went to production, you would think they did more than one sheet etc. Ever see the Will Clark ?

They were produced and some were packed out, only 1 sheet was printed.

Never heard or seen Clark.

Hmm that's crazy. I think I have like 20 Belles, I should double check none are refractor finish.

List who you remember seeing. Think that would clear up who know at least know is out there and who were just not sure about.

I feel confident in taking Rickey off my list. I do think these were probably tossed into the common bins when they were pulled, since there are no markings.
