Finally got around to scanning the new most expensive card in my Dilfer collection:

1999 Leaf Certified Gridiron Gear NFL Shield 1/1

 

[RStadlerASU22]

Great Manning and Dilfer posted recently guys...

A 1998 Metal Universe Gem Masters 1/1???






...no, it's an unnumbered one from Leximo. Oh well, better than nothing!

 

[CollectorsCorner]

Still pretty sweet looking

Finally picked up another Reserve Collection. Just impossible to find these things.

Nice Pick Up. I always liked these cards, it is just to bad that they are so condition sensitive and usually cut a little off center. Altyhough I must say, that is nice copy...

 

[CollectorsCorner]

Haven't found much for the PC lately but I did buy a big collection of 90s/00s off COMC in the last month to resell.

Here is one for the pc

Ugh, speaking of condition sensitive, this card is defective or a variant, depending on your point of view. There is no "frost" in the frosted foil. Dangit. The frost is the best part!

That's weird, I've never heard of that happening. I'll have to keep my eye out for that possible variation. Soooo glad I found the Dilfer without much fuss 15+ years ago.

Not really an "insert" but I picked up this wacky one recently:

1999 Playoff Momentum with a 2002 National Convention embossing in the lower right. Anybody else see any of these or know the story? I have never previously seen a Playoff show-stamped card that was off by so many years.

There was also a 1999 SPx unnumbered Spectrum "1/1" up for sale recently that I was in on but got outbid, and it eventually went up over $200! Shilled maybe? Some funny business because I only know of 2 people willing to spend real money on Dilfer stuff and I bowed out around $160. I don't really feel like spending $200 on a backdoored unstamped 1/1 since another one could just pop up at any time.

Wow an unnumbered brought $200+ , I wouldn't have guessed that. Hopefully it was funny biz and you'll see it again for a better price

One of the best rookie cards of one of the worst players.

[flagshipchromecollector]

Super rare? Probably not. Tough to find? Absolutely.

1998 Zenith Dare To Tear Drew Bledsoe (Small Insert Card)



1997 Fleer Goudey II Big Time Backs Wooden #9


There's nothing like finding a woody! LOL!

So looking at some scans on COMC and apparently NONE of the football Reserve Collections have the frosted foil. Can't believe I never noticed that before.

Patrick182 - that leaf is awesome, and the Moss Gold from that set /5 is definitely in my top 5 want list.
AUTaxman - I have the Moss version of that same card, and agreed they are hard to find (I don't think I've seen another Moss to be honest).

Pickup wise I have had a great time recently with pickups adding between 175 and 200 numbered Moss cards /200 or less. I will apologize in advance for the deluge of pics coming.
