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

[Brewer Andy]

Obviously those Starting 9s are high on everyone's wantlist. With that said (and not to knock anyone's card) what's so cool about them? They are just the base card with the added foil, right? I get the appeal of rare parallels. I'm a huge 90s fan. But does anyone actually like the way these look?

I do agree with this, it's definitely more about rarity. The fact that they're pretty bland might actually limit the amount I would be willing to spend personally. I've seen nicer 1/1s of my player sell for less than what I would expect one of these to go for so it would be an odd dilemma if one ever pops up just how high of a snipe I'd be comfortable with

Yeah, I never went balls out pursuing one of my guy, only because he also has the base Fleer, base checklist, Warning Track reg and checklist, and a few other parallels of the same card.

Gimme some dufex, or holofoil, or PMG/Rubies finish if you're gonna make a parallel!

The base cards are already attractive with their borderless design and the unique looking stamp in blue with serial number adds something to the appeal, in my opinion. In rare parallels where there is only a minor difference from the base card, I much prefer the serial number to be on the front. I like them.

I got it for $105.50 I had my sniped set above that. I did not plan to let it get by me in case I did not see one again.

Glad you got it, I was following it and it stayed low for quite awhile. I was gonna bid $75 but it wouldn't have been enough anyway, though I think you got a good price on it.

Must have been what happened. I bought the four Mo Vaughn and two Ray Lankford cards. The size was cut to card size just not die cut or serial numbered.

Once someone gets their 2000 Finest Gold Refractors in hand will you let us know how they look? I'm always concerned when someone cuts up a sheet on their own. Thanks!

My no serial no rigid edges backdoored Finest came today. Sat them next to the originals.

I posted in here, but I know the current seller didn't cut them. See last post in above thread. Bobby, the current seller, doesn't know if the person I mentioned in thread had em' cut or because of his technology/card connection they were done back in 99/00 and given to him etc.

The real ones seem more shinnier or is that just the scan?

I have NEVER seen the Lankford Starting Nine

Its just the scan. The real ones were closer to the window and the sunlight.

OK guys, I assume it's safe now to talk about the 1995 Pinnacle Rainbow Foil Artist's Proofs? I can't believe I was the underbid on stars like Chipper and Ripken and I wish I would have bid higher on the Ripken. Ended up with just the Albert. I had a low bid on the Rusty because it's perhaps my least favorite card of him ever... it's not him pictured.

That quad checklist

Thanks,

That quad checklist ����������

Thanks,

I really wanted to pick that up, had no idea that would go that high!! I put in a pretty large bid too. I won the mispelled Galaragga

 

[RustyGreerFan]

I just have this horrible feeling like I let some great deals on really unique cards slip through my fingers. It's so hard to set snipes when they all end about the same time... you don't know how much you have or haven't spent already LOL

 

[gradedeflator]

Dang totally missed the Piazzas

I didn't go for any of the rainbow foil AP Thomases simply because I knew there were bigger spenders out there than me. I hope to find some by accident one day.

I found it interesting that the seller said he got these out of packs? I would have guessed they were lunch pail cards for sure? I am somewhat surprised as I bet the seller is too.. I watched the quad end and it did a big jump in the last 5 seconds when the snipes came in. It was actually fun and reminded me of the old days except not having to hit the refresh button a 100 times..

 

[Therion]

Someone mind filling in the ignorant? Would there be one of these for the Darryl Kile card?

Congrats on getting the Belle. Did you get both? I took a hard look and passed. I honestly don't know what they are and felt like they were BS. I don't know haha

Yea, that's part of the BS story. No chance he pulled all these from packs haha. I want someone to get them in hand and analyze. Just doesn't smell right to me.
