First big add to the Manny collection from the 90's in quite a while. I am the second owner as the guy I bought it from pulled it from a pack ~1999! This is the first one I have laid eyes on.

Sick!! Saw that listing and in the back of my mind thought; "that's a once-in-a-lifetime pick-up for someone"

Thanks guys! George I think this is one of only a handful of times in collecting that I paid a bit more than I had originally set my price at. However, I don't think I would pay an arm and a leg for a baseball card with two shirtless men on it! Ha ha. Yanks 2151: while the box is unopened, there is always a glimmer of hope! So you may want to keep it unopened...

To be honest I would over pay for the Lankford.

Great card! I know a few people on here think parallels are dumb, but this Fleer Tradition Starting 9 is one of my favorites in my collection. Everything about it I love. Blue foil, numbering, unbelievably rare (but not a 1/1), great photography...Great pick up! Congrats!

Anybody have any info on these? Seller said he got them from an upper deck exec off the R&D floor.

Treasury was talked about for a long while but few examples have ever surfaces; congrats.

Yeah that I did know which is why I didn't hesistate to purchase them and just hope they were real. The Treasury card is so pixelated though it looks fake but there's no doubting the coin. The card itself is 4 pieces of stock barely glued together because of wear and tear (it's supposed to be white but it's so faded from wear and tear it looks like it's 1980's Topps stock paper). I was hoping somebody else would have one to verify the card is actually real and not homemade. The medallion one though I have never heard of in my life. They did a great job on the medallion itself, I wish they would have produced those.

Joe, I think you are the proud owner of a unique set of pre-preproduction items. Not sure why anyone would fake a card to go with the coin.

Also, got another one of these hand numbered cards from this year. Any other players have hand numbered ones?
Could they be factory replacements for damaged cards? I know I have several Fleer cards like that (and was sent some directly from them) as well as one Collector's Edge card. I'm not familiar with whether UD also did it that way.

Thought that I got a nice deal on this one at $24.50. 1999 Upper Deck 10th Anniversary "Triples" parallel.

This was my understanding as well - though I also have only seen fleer and none of UD that I can think of off the top of my head.

Very cool IMO. Love to see true sample / mock ups.

Damn, that's a helluva deal. BIN or just listed wrong? Or other?

Great deal! I had it on watch and completely fell asleep at the wheel. Particularly bitter since I finally decided on a collection focus - 90's low # insert parallels. No clue why it went so low, if I recall had a reasonable end time. If you are interested in a swap, I've got plenty of low # '90's that no longer fit my PC. Congrats!

So, I've got a COMC shipment "packaging". One of the cards I'm most interested in seeing is this one:
Courtesy of COMC.com
So, who can guess why?
For comparison sake, I pack pulled this one sometime last year:
(/30)
And the verdict is in! The Kapler is indeed the foil parallel - #'d 13/30. These things NEVER show up.

Wait, did you not know it was the #'d/30 version when you bought it?
