No worries. I wish I’d known it was you who was interested in it as well.

Not a big deal. I don't have any of the Finest boxes at this point. What years do you have?

 

[K34PuckettAddict]

Just the two so far, 1994 and the 1996. I saw another one recently, but it was unopened and pricey. The hunt continues. =)

I found two more cards from the 2021 Panini Spectra set.

/25 Hyper



And the /20 Neon Pink



I liked this set, it was my favorite Panini release in a while. Anyone see his 1/1 Nebula surface yet?

Sweet. I needed that neon pink too but wasn't to worried about that one. I haven’t seen the 1/1 yet.

I was watching some online card breaks last week. This Puckett refractor was pulled out of a sealed 96 Chrome box. I was lucky enough to make a deal with the guy who pulled it. I traded a 96 Topps Chrome refractor and a 96 bowman international refractor of the Crime Dog since they were Braves fans. First year Topps Chrome refractor and the only Topps chrome refractor of the legend. You can watch this card being pulled here

It's pretty rare these days that I pick up a Puckett from the 1980s or 1990s that I don't already have. I don't believe there had been a First Pitch Preview publicly sold in a little under two years. Given the way the card market has grown over the last couple of years. I was pleased to get this for at or less than the last several sales. I think it was on eBay for 11 minutes.

Great card! It was a hard one for me to track down.

Very cool piece! Did it come in a standard #10 envelope or was it part of a larger promotional item/kit?

Have yet to see an O'Neill in almost 20 years collecting him, whereas other Yankees seem be just sitting on eBay.

That's pretty cool. Do you have the Puckett that doesn't have the cut out?

 

[K34PuckettAddict]

Thanks! I don’t have one without the complete cut out. I have another single Puckett sheet cut that has a portion of that card stock middle of that duel panel with Belle still attached. Here’s a scan of the single.




Do you have a solid stock card?

Cool I'd like to find the one with the middle portion still attached at some point. If you come across another let me know.

Here is my uncut card.

 

[jszczech]

Here is a recent pickup. 2021 Topps All-Star Rookie Cup Black Foil/10. Not really sure why but this might be my favorite release that Puckett was in last year. Although its a toss up with Stadium Club.

Ah man, that’s awesome! I suspected an uncut version was floating around out there, but I haven’t seen it before. I’d love to find one. I’ll keep an eye out for the other for sure.

Here’s another material variation, this time from the new 2022 Topps Series 2 release:

Bat:


Jersey:


I’ve only seen bats associated with the numbered Relics & the All-Star Relics so far, perhaps there’s jersey relics throughout?
