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

[nkdbacks]

I finally did it. I went and picked up a "cameo" card. But! I've set some ground rules.

1) Only the rarest of rare
2) Must be 60/40 or better.

In other words, if the 1999 Fleer Jeremy Giambi is a 50/50, I consider this a 60/40.

Sweet, glad someone on here got that! Thought I would have wifi while out of town and didn't, so I missed this

I wasn't going to believe it until I had it in hand, well, here it is! My biggest coup in quite awhile. It was listed with other Encore Golds /125 but given that it was a large Piazza collection sell-off I was certain another knowledgeable collector would pick up the trail. Safe to say my max bid was well in excess of 5x where it ended.

Congrats and good luck on your flip.

The Piazza is going to join my JD Drew, wish I had been successful in picking up the Chipper a couple months back.

Does anyone collect 1998 Donruss Prized Collections? I started building the Marlins team set. Currently at 25/38, and most that I need are the Preferreds.

I did finish the 1997 Donruss Limited Exposure team set.

Edit: picked this up last night. I don't think I'll finish the Credentials run any time in the next 1000 years, but I'm gonna try

Also picked up this

I just picked up two 1998 Donruss Collections sealed boxes.. Still debating whether to crack them or not. If I do, I will look for any prized Marlins for you. The only ones I am really interested in "hopefully" hitting are the Preferred Prized!!

I've got the Preferred Prize Kevin Brown I can move. Been thinking about narrowing my collection to offense side only. This could be a start.

Let me know a price. I believe Burbank has one for $15 or so...I think I paid around that for my Sheffield

Do you need Bobby Bonilla? You bought your Sheffield from me and I can do the same price on it. If so, lmk.

I was hoping board members picked up the Ripken and the Belle that ended this weekend...?

I picked up the Belle to add to my Bonds collection.

I picked up the Belle to add to my Bonds collection.

NICE. When that went for $70 I thought for sure the Ripken would go for big bucks.

Recently picked this up for my 1997 Reserve Collection set. There's always some paranoia when a known guy surfaces - you hope that there isn't someone out there who needs this as their white whale.

And bought this awhile back on COMC. Couldn't flip it so it's in my collection now:

And loving him on MLB Network. He's hilarious.

What's the story on the Raines?

It's a somewhat rare set - 1997 Score Reserve Collection. But commons and semistars can be really tough to come by - you can go years without seeing one surface whereas the stars appear about twice a year or more. The football counterparts are even harder to find.

Have you seen Griffeys pop up recently?

Have you seen Griffeys pop up recently?

[MENTION=4682]RustyGreerFan[/MENTION]...Or a Ripken True Grit? In all the years I've been searching for one, the ONLY one I've ever seen is from your collection. Would love to cross that one off my list.

A very BIG THANK YOU to [MENTION=1759]magicpapa[/MENTION] for helping me cross off another tough card for my PC! This one has been a bugger for me to track down, but no more!

youre just lucky it wasn't a Griffey because you would not have gotten it! Haha

 

[BunchOBull]

I have one unopened set left, I think about opening it from time to time, but I haven't had the guts yet.

 

[RustyGreerFan]

Have you seen Griffeys pop up recently?

Nope, not recently. A member actually just PMd me today saying he got the CL version from someone going by Beckett pricing (FTW!)

No, I haven't seen the Ripken in quite some time.

The odds aren't that tough (1:11) so is it just the fact that they could only be found in the Series II reserve packs that make them so tough to find (ala 2007 Walmart Series II inserts)?
