Finally...my "Most Wanted" Parallel Pick-up

[Yanks2151]

This card has been on the top of my list for years. I have never seen a single copy surface of this card. I collected this set in '99 and fell in love with the set. The retail version Warning Track Collection had a great look with the red foil but something just pops with the blue foil Starting 9 parallel. On the last day of the year it was delivered.

My 1999 Fleer Tradition Starting 9 Paul O'neill.

Finally completed the rainbow!

Both my PC guys were pictured in this set and I already had the Bernie from last year.

I own 3 of these now and it was coincidental all are numbered 7/9

Congrats and fair price imho.....Sooz must have quickly accepted your offer, I never saw it live but had seen most of her other stuff.

Great addition to a tough rainbow!

Nice addition. It's weird that of all the Starting 9's I've seen pretty much all have been 7/9.

Awesome card. That one has been near the top of my Tim Wakefield list for a loooong time, still waiting.

Beautiful card Kevin!

Great job, I was hoping that when you had said you had spent some money, it was on that.

Congrats on a huge pick up!

 

[banjar]

Yeah, that is awesome. Happy new year indeed!

Wonder how long it'll take me to land the one I need - I'd put the over/under at 10 years

My guy is in there twice...

That would lead me to think that a full set may have gotten "out" possibly if a lot of those on the market are 7/9.

I see 12 at auction on eBay and of those 12 (2) are 7/9
4 sold auctions besides mine one was 7/9
There are 3 active on COMC and none are 7/9

I'm not sure what that all means. Before the other day I have not seen any of the 9 O'neill's. I am just happy to have one. I never thought to have someone check worthpoint to see if one slipped through the cracks.

Thanks everyone!! So happy about this card.

Congrats to a toughie. Personally, although it is much more common, the contrast of the red on the warning track version looks best to me.

Jealous. I've never even seen a Mariano Rivera, and neither did the only other Mo supercollector before me.
