1997 Collectors Choice Instant Winner

[1st4040]

I traded for this blindly last week and just received it in the mail today from a trade I made on Beckett.. I think I definately got the better end of this deal giving up 3 inserts from my bucket of even BV. I have read these are a tougher find and I've never seen one in person until now. Not a blow your mind kind of card but always a good feeling getting a great deal on a PC item.

I disagree on the not blowing your mind part! Nice pickup of a tough card!

Very nice addition...still looking for mine!

That is one tough card. Still looking for a Griffey from 97 or 98.........

I gave up:

club 3000 Robin Yount base BV5
2008 Bowman Gold Ryan Braun BV3
88 Mothers cookies Mark McGwire BV5

it was a great deal for me IMO and I was very quick to accept the offer when I saw what was picked out of my tradebait even though I never saw a scan of the card.. I just hoped for the best and it turned out well!

I was very happy when I opened the envelope and it was the right card. Im guessing by the response on here that these are much rarer than even I thought. Its not a flashy logoman, patch or auto but I think I appreciate the tough inserts more since Im from that older school of collecting that came long before all the flash.
