Oh Super Sweet 90's Inserts.... #3

I think the centering is what got the 9 for this one. I have a bunch but very few centered l/r

Good chance. It's off for sure after looking at it again.

Yeah. Building set registries is awfully cost prohibitive at $50 a card. $38k to slab a '70s or 80s 770 card set is just a bit nuts.

This is a card I have wanted for a very long time! SO happy to finally ad one to my collection. Thank you for looking!

I am aware that earlier boxes of Finest, Bowman's Best had cards of different players featured on the sealed box. Literally as a box topper.

I would love to track down boxes with Paul O'Neill to display, either sealed or open. The 1993 Finest Box is my priority if someone has empty boxes laying around.

Which other years and sets did this? The ones I am aware of so far....
1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997 Finest
1996 Bowman's Best

Any others like this?

(Not mine, from Google)


Thanks

Was able to pick up these three. I felt they were a decent price for Mirror Golds and they ended on a weird time.

Awesome, I think that's one of the best-looking sets of all time. I'm only missing one (Miguel Tejada) for the A's team set:

Fixed it for ya
Of course- the change is my "personal opinion" of their prices

I'll pass= not my cup of tea just to "own" one to overpay on one
Think I paid less than $40 for mine . I see the same card up there for $299
They want to buy mine for $200 I'd sell it in a heartbeat

I'll eventually get down to my 1999 E-X series scans, but 7 years ago scanned this one
Not sure I ever picked up the NOW version, think set collectors always overpay for it and I never wanted to go over a few hundred

Also it doesn't seem to be holofoil like the 01/50 should be. Football, but the same set:

Jesus Christ I was giving an example of what the 01/50 Bonds should look like, from an example I have on hand. Calm the F down.

i remember seeing another post of a non holo 01/
not sure when/where
also with that extra 1/1 stamping would that even pass the
Authenticity Guarantee clause?

There are a few possibilities as to what the Bonds could be...

- The company messed up and made some of the 01/50's with regular foil instead of holofoil. Then somebody along the line that owned that Bonds and knew the 01/50 cards are 1/1's decided they would help others to see that this one is a 1/1 by stamping it on there.

- This was an unnumbered backdoor/replacement card and has a fraudulent 01/50 stamp.

- The company messed up and stamped two or more cards as 01/50, but still only one of those has the holofoil treatment. Then some bozo stamped 1/1 on this one.

I'd argue at best it's an error card and is not a true 1/1. The thing that made the 01/50's a 1/1 card is that they were the only cards to have holofoil. Without holofoil it's just a /50 card because it's the exact same as 02/50, 03/50, etc.

Have to agree, the prices being paid for these are just silly IMHO
