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

[athletics07]

I picked up the McGwire and Giambi. PSA did a cruddy job with the flips. These will now be in the registry under the "Parallel" version and not the Parallel 1 of 1 - non-numbered. Like other UD cards from 99-00 damage stock replacement, IMO.

ED Golds are a pain in the ass. I just stumbled across a Piazza in a lot I picked up, but can't find 90% of my PC players. I think there's another Alan Trammell collector here who's never seen a copy of the Trammell.

I've been collecting Bonds since '98 and just got mine a few months ago. BIN 9.99! I couldn't click fast enough

Very nice I see the Belle up. Just odd to me that they have so many with no serial number.


Then to hear a member has the actual 1/1, so then I'm like WTF. This is either an error, proof or fake. All of which suck IMHO considering it is a 1/1 card.

I'm sure you saw this thread but this went into more detail and/or more opinions:

Whoa...

Is that just player collector madness on the Trammel or is there some sort to short print that I am not aware of? By the way still looking for the gold electric diamond Puckett for my pc.

I overpaid for this BGS8.5 but since this is all I have, it will have to do until hopefully finding one ungraded. I've looked for this card for a long time and I was outbid on an ungraded copy a while back, so when this one popped up with a bin, I grabbed it for $50 delivered.

I am going with player collector madness. Although the ones from series 2 have always seemed harder to find even back then in 1995. I am not sure if they made less or just not as much of it got opened.

 

[ASTROBURN]

Wow. And I think I got my gold on the cheap at one point loooong ago. I honestly cant remember.

 

[Will Style 13]

Sheesh! Fairly certain I paid less than 5 for my Ripken and like 3 for my Brady.

What's the print run on the ED Golds and why are they so special? I need some new 90s inserts to track down and maybe I'll keep an eye out for one.

I know the Griffey ED gold didn't go that high when it was listed last. Maybe $50-$60 if I remember correctly.

The 1995 Upper Deck baseball set was issued in two series of 225 cards for a total of 450.

Series I and II Hobby had the Special Edition cards one per pack with one SE Gold per box. Hobby is easier to track down.

Series I and II Retail had the Electric Diamond Silver cards one per pack with one Electric Diamond Gold per box. Retail is harder to track down. And as noted above, Series II Retail is even harder to track down (sales, distribution, who knows). In other words, the key isn't just ED Gold, but ED Gold from Series 2 (card #226-450 ). For example, of the 13 1/2 pages of ED Golds on COMC, only 2 1/2 are from Series II while the other 11 are from Series I.

I believe this is the exact same explanation for why the Series II Retail Predictor Exchange cards are tougher and more valuable.

it actually has a lot to do with the year itself.... i very specifically recall that all the manufacturers announced that due to the flak from the 1994 strike , their 1995 production was going to be cut back .....though i had them at one time , i no longer have the actual numbers from each company but suffice it so say the cutback was rather drastic (i seem to recall either topps or donruss specifically announced a print run of 50% of the 1994 product) and i'm almost certain that all companies produced even less 2nd series material than 1st series material......i actually bought a ton of baseball in '95 BECAUSE of the announced production cuts...i've always thought that at some point it's RELATIVE scarcity (compared to other junk-wax years) would be realized and appreciated so i've never really been in a hurry to get rid of what i still have....

Picked both of these up in the same day, from different sellers. Waited on a Red for about 4 years, feels great!

 

[DeliciousBacon]

Whoa...

I'm pretty sure I'm never going to own this card, after seeing that price. My only hope is stumble across one in a box at a show.

Looks like that craziness doesn't extend to the Series 2 Piazza; one sold recently with a BO of $11. Doesn't look like I'm getting rich off of that one!

I often wonder how many are forgotten sitting in common boxes.

Hey guys. Don't post much over here but I lurk. Just wanted to show these off. Picked up all 3 for under $12 shipped.
