Looking for 1998 Score Complete Players factory sealed SAMPLE sets. Have many other complete promo sets to trade.

Don't suppose you have a 1997 Score The Franchise sample set?

Cool website, by the way!

 

[gofrankgo]

I'm missing C. Ripken, C. Jones, A. Belle and R. Alomar. Do you have any extras of them? Also do you know the players in the 1998 Score Complete Players sample set? BaseballcardPedia does not list them. You looking for anything in the promo line? Thank you for the compliment about my FT promo site.

 

[banjar]

Ah, I was asking because I've been looking for the Alomar. At this point I'm not sure the four players you're missing even exist. I don't know anything about the 1990 Score Complete Players sample set, sorry.

Anyone know if Kirby Puckett actually had either of these promos available? I’ve never seen myself or know any Puckett collector who has either of them.

I agree. Don't think the other 4 players exist either. Just like all the players in the 1995 Score sample set. The BLACK sample version of Albert Belle is the only one that has surfaced to date.

P. S. There is an Alomar in the set.

Right, I have the regular issue card 15, was wondering if one with “Sample” was available for the card. It’s been on a want list I’ve had since the early days of the internet, but I don’t think Puckett and Benes had one of those printed with Sample on them.

Just to clarify, you mean the 1995 Score black SAMPLE text variation only applies to the Belle, right? That matches what I've seen, where the 10-card set with white SAMPLE text is pretty easy to find, but nobody except Belle has a black text version.

I agree. Don't think the other 4 players exist either. Just like all the players in the 1995 Score sample set. The BLACK sample version of Albert Belle is the only one that has surfaced to date.

I dont know of anyone that has ever seen them.

 

[gofrankgo]

Here is the Thomas/Sosa one. I'm pretty sure there is a Puckett/Benes also.

Is Erstad in this? I've never seen one.

 

[gofrankgo]

No he is not.

Looking for 1998 Score Complete Players factory sealed SAMPLE sets. Have many other complete promo sets to trade.

One of my biggest regrets still was selling my Extra Bases cards. I landed myself in a financial issue and was offered $200 for the Thomas pair. At first I thought they might have been 1/1s, but clearly there were more sets made.

I had won a full set from a Fleer Executive, Ted Taylor, on ebay. It came with the original package of notes and rules that the developer kept. I sold off most of the set, but kept Piazza and then a few never sold so I still have those too.

Thankfully I kept my 92 Ultra Thomas prototypes that were on art boards (like a presentation board, but less formal), having sold or traded the Will Clark, Jose Canseco and Barry Larkins that I had won from Taylor as well.

 

[gofrankgo]

I assume you mean these 1995 Extra Bases. If you ever want to sell the 1992 Ultra prototypes, I would be interested.
