INCREDIBLE Belle PC Mail Day - Has me seeing RED!

[MansGame]

Words can't explain the mail day I had yesterday... Three just incredible cards, including literally my holy grail which is now in the PC.

Pictures tell a 1,000 words...


First, a 2000 Upper Deck Exclusive Gold 1/1




Second, a 1998 Score Rookie Traded Showcase Series Artist's Proofs 1/1




Then.... Best for last...

Very, very nice. Crusade rainbow is killer.

The Score 1/1 - I've seen two Grace's that look exactly alike with the stamp (I have 1). Others have claimed two exist for each player, possibly a retail/hobby scenario. The website baseball card pedia says "Please note that multiple copies of the Artist's Proof 1/1 cards have surfaced. It is believed that, while only one copy of each was inserted into Hobby packs, addition Artist's Proof 1/1s were produced for quality control purposes. These quality control cards were more than likely backdoored after Pinnacle Brands' bankruptcy."

Congrats, glad you got some rare ones and to do it at once was nice !

Yea, I've heard that as well... at least we discussed that in the '90s thread. Not sure which I have or if two are even out there but I think there is record of two Griffey Jr.'s as well right?

Yep - there's a photo of the two Griffey's somewhere. Magic has one.

Yea, that's where I've seen it. This was too good not to share in a post but I'll eventually drop into the '90s thread lol

Congrats on the rainbow. I'm still hunting for the Irabu red to finish mine.

 

[BenG76]

Congrats on the awesome pickups.

 

[69MetsFan]

Great pickups, Mac!
I've never seen a Crusades card in person.
I imagine they're awesome.

 

[Hawk8]

Awesome pickups!

 

[DaBaddestHic]

Wow, awesome mailday! I only have the green and purple Delgado crusades, and my purple one has damage to it, but it's the only one I've ever seen on ebay. If a red one ever pops up on ebay I'm gonna go crazy haha. Congrats on finding one for Belle .

 

[mrwhitesox30]

It's been a few years since I sold them, but I'm almost certain I used to own that Score 1/1 of Belle along with the second 1/1. I sold both to the same person, but I can't remember who or when.

What a fun mail day! Congrats!

Thanks Ryan!

Man, good luck on the Red Irabu! I know this was the first time I've even had a shot at acquiring one lol

Congrats on the awesome pickups.

Thanks!

Great pickups, Mac!

They are SO much nicer in person. There is a lot of detail in them and I was trying to get the scanner to capture it but I think we all know how hard it is sometimes to get a solid scan of the card. These aren't bad.

Thanks for the shout out! Good luck on the Delgado... I can tell you finding the Red is SO hard and for me, this was the first time I have had the opportunity to acquire.

It's been a few years since I sold them, but I'm almost certain I used to own that Score 1/1 of Belle along with the second 1/1. I sold both to the same person, but I can't remember who or when.

Really?! That is nuts. How did you have both? LOL! That's awesome... Pretty neat to think it's traded hands a bunch of times and now sits in my PC. Odds are for good

What a fun mail day! Congrats!

Thanks man!
