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

[MansGame]

bold is true, but the way I look at it, I ended up with the cards. I'm glad I was able to work out a deal with the FCB member that picked up the two Pedro Martinez cards I didn't get. Better they ended up initially with an FCB member than with some random collector I would never be able to find!

also, I remember there was a lot of confusion--people weren't really sure if these were real. So some of the FCB guys that snatched up the cards early probably took a bit of a leap of faith and gambled on them. Risk leads to reward!

That my initial delay is I wasn't sure they were legit and by the time I knew what was up, I think the green and/or purple was only left and I didn't want an incomplete set of them and then those we're bought shortly after I had the thought.

You're right though, better he got them and I could work with him than some random guy who either wanted to keep them or sell for $10k lol

Exec or Prototype?

 

[Hendersonfan]

It may just be a prototype George, I thought they were one in the same? Never saw the back, so I don't know for sure.

I think I know the card you mention and that is the prototype.

 

[Hendersonfan]

Any idea what the numbering would be? Blank?

Since I had stepped away for a few years , anyone want to share what the prices were back during the COMC Crusade *** sale? What were they moving at?

Also on the ***/ ones how many copies exist of each ? How many prototypes if each ?

Every card was listed at the same price, ie all reds were $x and all greens were $x, etc. Also set to auto accept 50% offers, so it was a freaking fire sale when that hit the thread. I forget what the prices were because I was late to the party. A few select people just bought them up it seemed like and flipped the prices ASAP.

I want to say you could of got any trio for under $100 easy. Like $50 maybe. It was an arms race.

i've seen the green prototype and it has no serial number if i remember correctly. I do not recall the card number

from what i heard from an expert Henderson didn't have any exec proofs, just the single green prototype (not even purple or red).

[gradedeflator]

this sounds right. I think most of the cards regardless of color were listed at $100 each but the seller (dalsubfan?) was accepting deep discounts.

Well that's some good news. I know the guy who has it. If I ever get a Chong, this will be next up.

Here's what I've been able to snag of Cruz over the years:

I believe the Executive Samples were $90 for Red, $60 for Purple and $40 for Green when they hit COMC. I paid about double for them afterwards since I missed out on the initial insanity.

From what I've read, the Series 2 prototypes can be numbered or not.

Your Cruz run is awesome!

This was the same pricing for Manny Ramirez as well... I
managed to snag the purple ***/100, the green landed with an FCB board member and the red Manny was scarfed up immediately. It's a shame that since it was comc I don't know where the red went.

They are sweet cards for sure but I guess I am not in to the more than 10x markup for crusade executive proofs vs other 98 Donruss executive proofs.

I don't want to change the subject away from the Donruss Crusade topic (which is fascinating), but these two auction's ending prices blew my mind today. I was watching them just for kicks and surprised to see them sell for much more than they usually runs at auction. I paid about less than for $30 for both of these cards two years ago. Anyone else noticed prices going up on 98 Finest stuff?

Yeah, I think these took a hard dip for a while but seem to still be about half where they were prior to the big 90s insert set dump.
