Love the '98 Crusades, but man I HATE scanning!

Those look great together! How many more do you need for each color set?

Thanks Chris!
To be honest...I don't know. I'm prob around 170% for green, 75% for purple, & maybe 40% on the red. I'll have to spend some time one day & figure it out. Those are just my guess.

Wow! Impressive isn't even the right word. That's just incredible. I doubt very many people can say they have that many different Crusades!

Think you can spare me one of your green dups? I want to see what the fuss over the cards is about.

I have actually never even SEEN one of these cards in person. Never saw one in a shop, or at a show. I just picked up my first on COMC a few minutes ago, I've seen it there for sale for a long time, and this inspired me to finally go ahead and get it:

When I get it in it will be the first time I've seen a Crusades that wasn't just a picture on a computer. They really just don't make cards like these anymore. I doubt there's an insert set from this year that people will still be desperately chasing after thirteen years from now.

Thanks guys.
Bacon, I hope you don't feel like you wasted your money once you get it in-hand. Sure...they're nice cards, but they're 'hyped up' so much I doubt they could live up to it. Atleast you'll be able to get your money back if you don't like it!

I never worry about wasting money when it's a card of one of my PC guys, especially one I might not come across again. These days, we're all so used to serial #'ed cards and low print runs that something /100 is almost meaningless. But a 1998 card, out of 100, something I remember from my early days collecting being a stupidly hard pull...I might have underpaid (it was only $9.99, money I got selling a Harper)! It's cards like these that lead me to seek out late 90's/early 00's boxes and packs in the hope of pulling something like this. I think most of us can agree that that era was a golden age for cool inserts!

Totally worth it once you see one in hand!

Absolutely insane to see so many of those together. What are your plans for them all?

Looks great........the pain of scanning is why I have never scanned the Green or Purple sets.

Jeebus George, it'd be easier to list the incredibly cool **** you don't have... :lol:

If I wasn't married, Ranger Calfas would be my man.

Great stuff Cobra! Good luck with the rest.

 

[Mudcatsfan]

truly impressive the way you made each card a seperate link, very nicely presented!!!

I hope you enjoyed collecting them as much as we enjoyed viewing them.

You just want my cards.

Seriously, I have really loved watching this collection grow, many rare pieces here. Much respect!

 

[Brewer Andy]

Amazing! Oddly enough, the first thing I noticed is that I never knew Russell Branyan ever swung it from the right side. Learn something every day. Epic collection you've got going though and i hope you've left enough room in all those posts for new additions

Thanks for the kind words guys.

Thanks, but boy was it a PITA. That way wouldn't be my 1st choice if I knew a quicker way. Anyone know a better way?

Thanks! I received the 2 cards from you today. Thanks for that too.

Love me some Crusades! I was lucky that Rusty had a good pose on his.

PLMK if you have some Rustys to trade or if any of them are serial numbered 29.

I'm going to be selling my three executive proofs - Smoltz purple, Sandy Alomar purple, Sandy Alomar red. Although could trade for cool Rusty stuff.

All I have is the 1 green (part of my set), & it's serial #102, sorry.

 

[jarcar]

WOW WOW WOW awesome stuff

 

[RustyGreerFan]

Someone auctioned the red, purple, and green Rusty Greers week before last. For some reason the green went for double what the purple did. I guess it must be set collectors causing this?

 

[Cobra29svt]

Yep, I've seen it several times in the past.
I actually thought about doing the purple set instead of the green for that reason, but the purple version for the big-name guys sell for much more than their green counterparts.
