Oh Super Sweet 90's Inserts.... #2

Big PC card for me- a sig update is due!

So I have a PSA 9 Manny available now if anybody is looking for one.

Nice! I can't believe how you ended up getting that.

Nice cards George, I actually found this on Beckett tonight. Not sure how I missed this previously:

3,000 lucky winners from the Pinnacle X-Press Swing for the Fences game received special 10-card packs of upgraded Swing For the Fences cards produced on thicker card stock and printed with a special foil prize-winner stamp. Strangely enough, the card backs - containing guidelines for how to mail in winning cards - are identical to the original Swing for the Fences game cards issued in packs. The cards are unnumbered and typically sorted in alphabetical order by player's last name.

So with 60 cards in the set and 3000 10 card packs being issued, that comes out to 50 cards of each player. Very limited for a 1997 set, no wonder I have never seen an Andruw other than the one Fandruw25 has. Thanks for for sharing the scans George!!

I actually have the Bagwell. Now how I got it...I don't remember. I think it was a real low priced BIN on ebay. I knew I had the regular version and needed the upgrade. I saw it and the rest is history.

Yeah- I don't have the time to write it all out- but I was trying to come up with a target card that I could land that would enable the trade to happen so your friend would end up with his card (a Manny 1/1 I had) . It ended up going pretty smooth for a 4 person transaction! Glad I could help make it happen.

Need the help of you player collector gurus -- I've got a 1998 Stadium Club Triumvirate Juan Gonzalez #18C and don't know the difference between the Luminous, Illuminator, and Luminescent versions. I know that versions of this set in later years actually say on the back on the card, but 1998 doesn't. Here's a scan of the one I have:

 

[joey12508]

look on the back if it has T prefix its a illuminator or luminescent.

yours doesnt have the T prefix so its not either.

Actually, it does have T prefix. The card number is T18C. So, how to tell if it is the illuminator or luminescent?

 

[ChasHawk]

all 3 of them are marked T18C

1998 Stadium Club Triumvirate Illuminator #T18C Juan Gonzalez
1998 Stadium Club Triumvirate Luminescent #T18C Juan Gonzalez
1998 Stadium Club Triumvirate Luminous #T18C Juan Gonzalez

the descriptions aren't much help either

Randomly inserted in first and second series retail packs at the rate of one in 192, the cards of this 54-card set feature color photos of three teammates that can be fused together to make one big card. These laser cut cards use a luminescent technology to parallel the Stadium Club Triumvirate Luminous set. Card backs are numbered with a "T" prefix.

you have the Luminescent or the Illuminator

#T18C 1998 Stadium Club Triumvirate Luminous card is solid front and back

#T18C 1998 Stadium Club Triumvirate Luminescent front has a refractor quality to it, back solid

#T18C 1998 Stadium Club Triumvirate Illuminator this is a SEE through card.

 

[Cobra29svt]

^ CORRECT

Luminous: base card
Luminescent: refractive finish'
Illuminator: translucent

 

[ccouch (Chad)]

Ahhh... thanks for the help, folks! I have the Luminescent version. Thanks again!

Some grade out well too

Not really a rare set, but I always loved these cards. 1995 Pinnacle Red Hot set:

Seller had lots of good insert sets for sale, I got to them after it had been picked through though. Still, I'm happy with the set of red hots for $20.

I'll need the White Hot set too, but those cards are surprisingly difficult to find for a non-serial numbered insert set.

 

[Cobra29svt]

^ My set from them came in today too. I got the '96 Lumberjacks set.

I love the White Hot set also. I still need about 10 or 12 of them though.

Damn, now I have to collect that error card too. You always seem to find those. Good eye!
