still not back home yet so i dont have access to a scanner for now , but i did get a nice little late 90's surprise last night.....was offered a few cans of 1997 pinnacle inside last week (tony gwynn , cal ripken , and barry sanders) but i passed based on the price....the same guy stopped by yesterday offering some deeply discounted and much-needed supplies so i made him a counteroffer on the cans and was pleasantly surprised when he accepted....my partner told me there was no way i should open them , but i just can't leave anything sealed (and i have quite a few pinnacle inside cans from all 3 sports and both years tucked away to confirm that).....told him i was going to pull a diamond edition from both baseball and he gave me the standard "yeah , right...dream on" spiel....
well , i was HALF right....the gwynn can produced the only insert from the lot..... as i opened the cellophane i was quite happy to see a die-cut card hiding in the middle and was even more excited to see it was actually a nice one - frank thomas.....granted the book value is nothing like it used to be , but i still think it was a nice score considering the limited number of cans (and it doesn't hurt that i'm a 90's and parallel fanatic either)....
if i ever get back home i'll try to get a scan added....
