One of the tougher 90's inserts to keep in good condition. So many corners its not funny
This one was pack pulled and protected immediately.

That's amazing. Those cards are impossible to get into penny sleeves without dinging a corner. Must have gone into a cardsaver.

Ha! I think you just may have the impossible card. Imagine if it were a 10! I have never really been impressed with grading all that much ... until I saw this card.

Can someone give me some info on this card? Found it at the LCS, and I saw Belle on eBay a while back that went for quite a bit more than I expected. I may be searching wrong but I don't see another on eBay:

1997 Pinnacle mint golds. Tough pulls from a crap product. Not super easy to find, but also not super rare and not really high in demand. I picked up a second maddux a year or so ago for $5. Griffey will likely pull down some $ though.

Ok thanks, that makes sense. I'm not a fan of those card/coin things. Couldn't believe the Belle brought almost $30, figured $3 for the Griffey was a good deal.

Probably was a good deal. A lot of card shop owners either don't realize just how crazy player collectors are on eBay or they don't care. My LCS owner says he doesn't have time to list everything in his inventory and he's fearful of hiring someone part time because they may steal from him. I've scored good deals at times. I'm sure he's had better stuff lying around that got scooped up long before I had a chance. But I don't think he wants to deal with the hassle.

I can say I know where the sheet came from, know the seller obtained said sheet, can't say I saw seller cut sheet.

Are these cards pack-pulled or sheet-cut?

I would say that is 99.999% false. But I didn't see him cut it, so I guess he can state that. Not trying to get involved, just know he has a sheet and know where it came from.

So...they were pack-pulled and he had no issues when he cut them? Why am I having trouble understanding that response?

Place a card on either side of it and then once it is in the sleeve, remove the two outer cards. Same for the Topps laser and other funky cut cards.

That's amazing. Those cards are impossible to get into penny sleeves without dinging a corner. Must have gone into a cardsaver.

Does anyone have the ability to see past values for these Executive Proofs and CTA Prototypes? I'm finding it hard to guage a price range for my set.

Just finished up my 1996 SP Holoview Red set - grabbed the Griffey for $25! Have a completed 1994 Holoview Red set and still need 13 cards for the 1995 Special F/X set.

I've been having fun building some of these kinds of sets recently - should of done this years ago!
