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

[jeffv96masters]

Four patently obvious issues on that Longevity ,and I bet if I had it in hand and could feel the weight of the item and its texture there would be 5 or 6. I bet @heavy_hitter knows exactly what I'm talking about on the fake signs

@Dilferules - I do like the fact you used an available example to show a proper surface- good job . Personally I couldn't care less that its a different sport shown - it shows exactly what the whole point was of the post- the holofoil is wrong.

If it sparks that "authentic or not" question folks- listen to your gut feelings
I know I certainly wouldn't pay $850 for it

Bryce Harpers phrase of " That's a clown question bro" comes to mind on " Is it real?? "

Reading back on some past posts , I think someone mentioned they were looking for a Ryan Kelsko 1997 Score Premier Club
Haven't seen one lately, but I did see a Chipper Jones and quite a few others. I'll see if any of my sources has a Klesko
These recently went to PSA and I had to scan for insurance / declared value reasons

Figured I'd post in the 90's thread since I had to do the work anyways

Yeah, that would be me. I haven't even seen a scan of one but I imagine they do exist. Any lead would be appreciated!

More insurance related scans done from recent stuff that crossed my desk weeks ago
Couple nice refractors from the 1996 Topps Chrome refractor series that are at PSA now

Couple more of those 1996 Topps Chrome refractors scanned for insurance purposes
As you can tell - normal Topps QC with centering issues on the reverse

Unless you keep up with the sets or collect Biggio you may not have seen recent eBay sales of some of his nicer ones
I had to part with these from my sets for personal reasons. The Atomic brought in $400 while the Essentials $180
Still have some more rare ones to go, but hopefully these rare Biggio found new homes and can be appreciated as much as I did the last 8 years

I can not believe I missed the atomic refractor card… would definitely have gone over $400 for it.

Nice Biggios and Chippers. Did you see the new Finest Flashbacks Clemens Auto parallel?

1998 Fleer Tradition #40 Vintage Classic Paul O'Neill #/63

Yes. Sadly I only collect playing career 1984 thru 2008 stuff. I did make some known exceptions for some National Treasures stuff Panini used of old stock. But I limit Clemens to playing years only

Totally understand. Clemens likely has more cards released in a single year than Paul O'Neill does over his career. I have limited myself to playing years cards of O'Neill as well.

I feel like this thread needs some reviving and it just so happens that I added a Top 10 card to The Rolen Collection today...

1999 Fleer Brilliants 24 Karat Gold/24

I shared this over on Facebook in the 90s group, but wanted to share it here too. I haven't talked to some of you guys in ages...but I'm still around. Adding cards to the collection every day.

Glad to see your still around, I see you have not needed my U.S. Mail services for awhile

I've been maintaining a pretty low profile lately. I did just post another great piece in my collection to the 90s Facebook group the other day. You might recognize this one...
