Some 1990's insert stuff scanned

I remember the granddaddy of inserts- those 1990's Elites
Love them even today. This Boggs used to be a dupe in my Boggs BGS Registry PC
Decided to crossover and put in a PSA slab

Glavine and Konerko were two cards I set aside to slab years ago from a tin I broke open
I had a Griffey Bronze insert I slabbed right away- that one paid for the tin plus some
Left these forever to sit and said " I'll slab them down the road". Well- 14+ years later --sigh
So much dust was on these cards top loaders that I had to wipe using a damp paper towel
Sent off Dec last year and just got them back

The others same deal- enough dust to choke a horse- were in the HOF slab pile forever
The why behind that I have no clue tired of looking at them

Will use all sales on these 5 to help out Rich Klein , former Beckett Errors and Variations Guru, at his May Adat Chaverim show with door prizes
So they are going to a good cause

Went to the Card Show today and picked these up (sometimes the hunt through boxes really does pays off)! Got them for 50% off the price tag. It was a good day!



and this (it is in fact the Refractor version)!

A post today for the 90's insert. Been addressing grading piles of stuff that sat 10+ years gathering dust
Cleaning up my old stuff so I can address old boxes full of dust collected items and handle or give away
Bunch had condition issues so they sat in the "rough" condition piles for over a decade or more

Cramers Green was an SGC crossover recently back
The 1999 E-X Century Milestones and 1998 Ultra Platinum Medallion have rough edges
That Ultra to me is well above what I'd have given it

I still need the Ripken/17 Milestones of the Century to complete the set.

There was an in-person autographed copy on eBay last year, but I don't prefer IP autos on my PC cards.

I pulled a Kerry Wood/20 when the set debuted.

Filthy!

Love that Cramer's Choice card. Those things just flip my flop.

The simplest of inserts make me smile the most as it brings me back to the days when very few people had internet connections and shows were still a big deal. Enjoyed me a weekly show somewhere, sometimes traveling several states over to attend one. Still cannot for the life of me remember where I put my unopened pack of these. They may be buried forever, or accidentally thrown out for all I know

I remember @clarkfan had some players - haven't seen him in a while

These were ( and are) great. And attainable back then for even kids. I passed on an unopened set on fleabay. Be nice to have, but not the 50 dollar nice that it sold for to me.

You can still find them in 10 cent or quarter boxes at shows occasionally because they were assumed to be base cards or the dealer just doesn't care maybe. I still flip each one over when I se one box diving.

Haven’t added much to the Ripken PC from the 90’s lately but recently added the 1999 Red/25 Cramers Choice Jumbo I had been missing. Now have the complete run except the 1/1

Nice @farmboy8940 !! I'm missing the Red /25 and the Dark Blue on my Oversize Garciaparra run myself
Love that run of Ripkens !!!

 

[farmboy8940]

I sent a few of my 90’s cards in for grading. The results just popped. I hit one of my big 3. The golden anniversary had a chance at gemming too I thought. The 24K I thought could 9.

Three monster Ripkens right there.

 

[banjar]

For sure. They must be worth at least fifty bucks. Each!

[jeffv96masters]

Agree with @heavy_hitter - 3 monsters
Don't downplay that Ripken 24kt. Thats a 4 figure card even at a PSA 8

What happened on the 1999 Ultra Masterpiece ( line 10) ? I know there's a few bankruptcy replacements ( and some fakes) of that card around
