I had planned to share these when the thread was new, but the scan got lost in never never land and finally just arrived in my email box this morning. These are the packs I have resisted opening for going on 17 years now from an era when I had numerous player collections to juggle. Wonder what goodies are hiding inside? I may never know.


I'm impressed you've had those all this time and never ripped.

Out of site, out of mind helps a lot. That is why I put them right back into a box and buried it!

I have both the regular and gold tins and boxes for Bonds. Took me a while to track down the gold box. Thankfully he doesn't have any for 1998.

I'd pay $20 for an empty Large Blue Tin Box of Belle... just shocked I haven't ever seen one. All 1,200 can't be in a landfill :(

I've only seen the Andruw once and never seen a gold. I found mine by setting a search for 1997 donruss preferred box and looking at each tin as they came up for sale over the years.

I'm sure I have a ton of these in some box somewhere. I also remember having a 24k Gold Darin Erstad Precious Metal from 1997 that someone offered obscene money for one time. I should have taken their offer.

I think you should look around to see if you have a Belle Tin Box ;)

I have a few tins if anyone needs them. From 98 I have Piazza, Griffey, Ripken, Aroid, Thomas, and a silver Gwynn. 97 I have 2 Griffey, 3 Piazza, Arod, Thomas, and Ripken. They're all opened, in good shape, and free to they're player collectors. The silver Gwynn is #35 /999. I put it in a team bag when I opened it so it was in good shape for whoever ended up with it. Happy new year everyone!


I'd like to get a hold of those RIpkens if you still have them. Please let me know. Thanks...
