Oh Super Sweet 90's Inserts.... #3

I busted 7 boxes of 98 bowman chrome this weekend- an early Christmas present to myself! Here are a few of the highlights:

I beat the odds by a lot in pulling TWO Golden Anniversaries (odds are 1:164 packs). The Norm Hutchins was one and then I hit this beauty, the biggest star I have pulled so far:

Of course I already have a Glavine in my set but I was still pretty excited. I still have never pulled a Golden Anniversary refractor #/5 ( 1:1279 series 1 and 1:1022 series 2). Dang I'd like to fix that!

Very cool. That Glaus is still a nice pull. What did it cost you?

Great stuff!

Yeah the Glaus is the best International refractor I have pulled. That was sweet.

I got the series 1 hobby boxes at just under $20. I usually pick up any I can under $20. I used to get them every couple of months but this year I only picked up that one deal... I managed to make two series 1 sets out of these boxes so hopefully I can recoup some $$ that way.

Congrats on the pickups! Out of curiosity, how many Gwynn starting 9s had you seen before you landed this one? I have not seen one of my PC player yet..

Nice Gwynn starting nine. I'm thinking he got it from Burbank. They had one for over $100 a few weeks ago.

Do you Know how many players have a 1992 Atlanta National Sports Convention card? I have never seen one of these.

Yep!

had three 1998 Tek Diffractors sitting here collecting dust, so I basically made a trade ( not literally, but you get it!)

Series 2 were used in Atlanta, and there weren't many good players in that set. Series 3 were used at the National in White Plains, and there were more good players on that set. (like Griffey!)

PadresFan86 · Dec 25, 2012

Just noticed someone hit the bins for your diffractors without even negotiating the price lol You made out pretty good!

nosterbor · Dec 25, 2012

Congrats on the Gwynn's.Awesome!

$100 seems like an instant buy...

Gwynn545 · Dec 27, 2012

All I know is that this was probably going to go on my most wanted list, so this has been an absolutely huge week for me.
Any info on this is appreciated:
1996 Predictors. Hobby and Retail. The Retail Redeemed (R57) has really been tough to find and finally landed it. Does anyone know if it actually harder to find, or has it just been bad luck/poor searching. This is actually the first I have found.
Hobby and Retail Unredeemed (H34 and R57):

Hobby and Retail Redeemed (H34 and R57):

Thanks for looking and any info!

Pretty nice... wonder why he wouldn't just list each one alone for like $2 each or something

Judging by ended auctions he did try something like that. The ones that didn't sell at auction he just grouped together.
