1999 Fleer Brilliants 24-Karat Gold /24

I have heard members post on this thread raving about these. I bought the O'Neill today for $20 to finish of the rainbow. I only saw completed football sales so I am not sure how I did on this? My gut told me it was a fair price, but it may even be a steal.

Bought the card 4 pm Friday and got it in hand today!



O'Neill wasn't in the Crusade set but this rainbow is just as shiny (if not more) and equally hard to complete in my opinion.

Nice rainbow for sure but trust me...The Crusades are much harder. And much more expensive.

Thanks! More expensive, maybe. But I don't see how they can be much harder to find. With the exception of the Green/250, the numbering is nearly identical...24 Karat/24 v. Red /25, and Gold/99 v. Purple/100. They are even from the same era, both sets were released just a year apart.

I would think that with the popularity of the crusades, they are in fact easier to find since people list them. On this thread, I have seen many more Red Crusades than 24K cards.

In the past 5 years I've seen 3 Andruw 24karat and 1 red crusade. More people collect the crusade set than the fleer brilliants keeping the price down and less in personal collections.

The reason you've seen more crusades is because when Burbank bought out a collection a couple years ago many crusades (and other 90's cards) left a private collection and hit the open market. A couple other sellers also acquired large crusade collections and put them for sale (shanks, spanascar, allsinc).

Most collectors showing off the crusades hadn't seen a copy in their collecting years and here many were becoming available.

Interesting, I didn't know that. An O'Neill Crusade doesn't exist so I have nothing to compare with...but in the past 5 years, I have seen just this single O'Neill. Someone else who has collected O'Neill since 1995 hadn't seen a 24K until now.

^ There's no doubt they're very hard to find. Congrats on the 24kt

In the past 5 years I've seen 3 Frank red crusades, & zero 24kt's. Still looking for a 24kt.

:lol: What do you mean only 5 reds?

 

[donrusscrusademan]

only 6 purples and 5 reds.

:lol: What do you mean only 5 reds?

lmao, true true.. I guess that does sound strange.
maybe said that because some people hear 50s and think I have tons of crazy reds, but the only true stud is Tejada. two of my reds are Nunez and Perez, so I might have 4.2 reds

 

[Cobra29svt]

Nah, I doubt they'd think that unless you have tons of crazy money. Most of my reds a scrubs too.

 

[donrusscrusademan]

Dude, you must have caught the site last night when I was trying to figure out why search wasn't working. Anyhow, if anyone has cards that I don't have on the site, email them to me. Long story short, I lost all the scans I received after the site went live and what you see on there now is all I have.
