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

[uniquebaseballcards]

Hmmmmmm weird. I can see someone having one of these and not knowing they have a 1/1 Hahah

I dunno... seems like everyone calls the first card in the run a 1/1 these days :benson: this is the only set in which its really true (or maybe there's one other?)

 

[predatorkj]

Yeah the post "proofs" seem legit to me. They have the correct card stock compared to the normal issue and the back of the card is identical to the normal issue. I would agree with @BunchOBull that the are backdoored sheets that have been cut and sold on the secondary market. I thought they looked cool so I bought them.

Cool and good to know. I may splurge next time I'm looking to snag something oddball.

My notes on these are that 8000 were produced of the triangular, and that the circulars were 1:1 retail.

They were not 1 per retail pack, they were only available in the Wal-Mart jumbos (1 per pack) and are really not that much easier to find than the hobby version.

My first "Super Sweet '90's Insert":

And I'm officially collecting Mo Vaughn now, so if anyone has anything good, I pretty much need it all (except for the Grand Finale now!)

That's not the Grand Finale, that's a Gold. The Grand Finales have a gold hologram on the front (not silver).

Rebelpawn was nice enough to send this to me for free!

1998 Leaf Rookies and Stars Longevity Holographic/1

so where is the Holographic????

The entire foil on the front of the card is holographic. The longevity cards have foil fronts.

 

[nosterbor]

You learn something new every day. You would think it would be marked holographic somewhere on the card as to not confuse it as a #1/50 Longevity card.

That's not the Grand Finale, that's a Gold. The Grand Finales have a gold hologram on the front (not silver).

It's def gold holo...you just can't tell from the scan. Coincidentally, though, I had to open a "wrong item" case on eBay today for a 97 Vlad Guerrero that was listed as a Grand Finale but is actually a gold. It looked like a silver holo in the pic, but since my Vaughn looks silver in my pic too but gold in real life, I figured maybe that was the case with the Vlad. It wasn't. Now the guy won't return my messages so I needed to officially dispute it.

Here are a few of my favorite 90's Clarks...

Bronze Promo, Revolution PD /49, Diamond Edition, Aurora OD /31, Brilliants Gold /24, Autographics Purple /50
Z2 Axis Die Cut /50, Chrome Gold Ref /25, Certified Gold /30, Super Rave /25, Axis Die Cut /20, Studio Silver Proof

Anyone got any Clarks hiding/wanting to move?

 

[MansGame]

[gradedeflator]

Seriously, nice Clarks! great collection of 90s inserts

 

[pootshwan]

Great post! I vaguely remember those Bronze promo's being 1/1's or at least print run < 5. Any confirmation on that?

Nice! I can't believe how tough those Summit AP's are compared to other AP's of the era... I think I picked up the Gwynn last year, and found it on Ibid.com or something crazy...but I would not pass it up!

Quick question...

I posted multiple want lists in my Belle post on the transaction section... Someone helped me out huge but also wrote this... Accurate?!

I don't think these 3 cards exist. The Premium Stock were only in series 1 and the Hobby Reserve were only in series 2.
7. 1997 Score Premium Stock #428 - Albert Belle
8. 1997 Score Premium Stock #495 - Albert Belle GY
9. 1997 Score Hobby Reserve #HR12 - Albert Belle

 

[RustyGreerFan]

Correct - those cards do not exist.
