man where to start? i love so many of the 90s cards i've picked up over the years, including Crusades (nice red @Sonic311)...also cards that other members like George and Ross sold to me or helped me find...but i'd have to say my favorite for sentimental reasons are the sample Crusades that...
^amazing card!
interesting to see these continue to come out of the woodwork. seller says there were 5 made of each, I had always heard there were only 1...
^Thanks guys, yep, it's a sweet card, I guess the Purple is the closest I will come to "color matching" with the Dodger blue
good luck to everyone who is hunting these down, I hope my experience gives you some hope!
another card I wanted to share, as we all remember the great COMC / Donruss Crusade Executive Sample gold rush in early 2011
at the time, I never saw any Mike Piazza cards, and it was widely speculated on who had executive samples made. I assumed Piazza was not included in that set.

This is a long overdue post. Huge thanks and shout out to George_Calfas for hooking me up with this card. I player collect 90's inserts of both Pedro Martinez and Mike Piazza, and had each of their 1998 and 1999 Circa Thunder Super Rave #/25 cards EXCEPT the 1999 Pedro. In fact, I had never seen...
Oh no! I hope that is not the case. I used to use PB, then slowly began transferring everything to Google Photos, where I now share from. If they shut down sharing and I have to move again, sigh, I can’t even imagine..
Bought this for $4. Wasn’t sure if I was gonna get the card in the photo or the card listed in the eBay title.
Well it arrived. 98 circa thunder super rave /25 of Pedro...for $4

I own a few 96 golds and intentionally sought out specimens with the peel still in tact. i'm sure the card would pop more without the peel but I just feel like the card deserve to be kept the way it was issued from the manufacturer.
maybe this should drive me to own two copies, peeled and...
Am fully amazed at these prices..also had thought 90s prices were stagnating a bit so positively surprised!
The Piazza PSA 8 just sold for slightly under $3k. I’ve owned two copies, a PSA 9 and a raw copy from a board member. Paid about 1/3 of today’s sale. Felt lucky to find both.

I've always loved some of the early 90's inserts, especially the "rookie focused" inserts from Donruss, Fleer, Leaf and Pinnacle (the classic being the 1992 Fleer Rookie Sensations set). Even more, I remember really loving those sets that had shiny black borders. And though I didn't realize it...
Holy cow about that Frank Thomas price...$380!
i actually have a few of these that I picked up from Burbank SC back in the day. if anyone is looking for their guy, LMK. most are scrubs / Dodgers. I think the biggest names are Carlos Delgado, Jim Edmonds, Carlos Baerga. Might have a Randy...
