So what would this bring? A 1996 EX-L Defense Insert Raul Mondesi / Ken Griffey JR error. Back is Griffey.

These dollar pickups can't happen that often right? Makes me want to make it to the national some day!

During the late 90s/early 2000s when inserts were WORTHLESS and everyone was going after RCs & Game Used, a ton of inserts got thrown into junk boxes. It seems like a lot of dealers never realized the market swung back around.

I have been to the national I think 8 times now and this was the best luck I've had. I think for a while people weren't bringing these type of cards because people would ignore those boxes because they were "older" cards.
It makes me excited for next year

So true. Just the last couple years I have been pulling inserts I passed over years ago. Its was pure RC based. It was JD Drew or Troy Glaus fueled.

He wasn't actually looking to sell, only to trade, and was wanting a lot of '90s inserts for it. Multiple PMGs, Z2, Diamond Axis, and more for that one card. Someone took him up on it though.

Bummer. There was a thread on Collectors Universe that showed that the guy picked up the card for a buck at an antiques shop.

Yes, I posted the pic, which is what he sent out when he originally found it 18 months ago or so.

The Belle ended at $70, which kind of surprised me. Had other bidders at 68 and 69, but next highest bid was $11 and change. In the past 4 years or so I've only seen one other copy, which I bought. It had been listed forever at $99 IIRC, and I finally snagged it after realizing they don't come up often. I knew I overpaid a little, but it was well worth it as that is one of my favorite card designs of all time and very high on my want list at the time.
The Ripken was weird, it had serial 104 /299 though it clearly was the /99 card. I didn't want to bid on it personally, but I'm not sure if it went higher due to being an error or lower because people wanted to skip out.

I think I remember seeing a previous discussion about that issue before with these cards, but I think it was a different player, maybe Piazza? Or Maddux?

I was the under bidder on the Biggio. Had to get some sleep, went to be with a couple hours left put in 52, apparently only one other person wanted it more as it went for 53
