Each of the 150 different Regional Team cards are available in the following parallels.
Based on calculations, there are roughly 137 Premier cards and 711 Platinum cards per player.
- Platinum Team
- Premier Team
That's awesome, good luck with your break! As for the tins, I'm sure someone will need/want those. I just recently got the Belle large box tin but had been looking for it forever, so they're not as easy to find as you think. That said, I have two Golds and have been offered a few others.Just stopped by UPS to pickup two packages due today: 4 boxes '97 Finest (2 Series 1 & 2 Series 2) and 4 boxes/tins of '97 Donruss Preferred. Now I just have to wait all day to bust!
The player selection on the tins was unknown until now. Blue tins of Juan Gonzalez and Mark McGwire and Gold tins of Andruw Jones and Mark McGwire. All sealed of course - all large tins. If any player collectors have been looking for these in particular, let me know. Even I'm tempted to resist on he McGwire's - just had to be McGwire :/
The Platinum might also have TWO versions? Mine shows the foils going in different directions. I only have one premier so I can't confirm if the foil direction exists.
That is part of the intrigue of the regional issue. Were all teams produced in identical quantity? How were they distributed? Where are they now?
There are some teams that are flooded on the market. Dodgers are a dime a dozen. Even the Premiers. Rangers are extraordinarily tough to find. You would think that if all the boxes of Rangers went to Texas that fans would have shredded them as their checklist is pretty good, but that doesn't appear to be the case.
Here's what I've found to be the case - feel free to chime in if you've experienced otherwise:
Easy to find - Dodgers, Yankees
Average - Braves, Orioles, Mariners, White Sox
Tough - Red Sox, Rockies
Rare - Rangers
Not Sure - Indians
There's also an unsubstantiated rumor that all the Premier Clubs in a case will be the same.
Ha nice , yet another mystery 17 years later. Good job catching that

I have a few '90s inserts like this but I don't think much about them. Don't think it's anything more than sheets being both directions when going through the machine?
I have NO Idea where this card went, or Who it was even LOL
