Speaking of Thomas steals, this makes me cry. No, I didn't get it, just doing my semi-regular mystery Emerald search. Free shipping!!

I was the buyer and the seller sent me the base version. When I questioned the seller, he or she immediately refunded me. Kinda suspicious. No worries. I already have the Emerald /27.

Here's another classic from '99 Topps Gold Label. I'm floored that I even found one of the various 1/1's from this release.

Wow! Nice card Patrick.

I'm sorry, that stinks! I was the runner up on the last Thomas auction and completely missed a Galarraga a few months back. These just don't pop up. Meanwhile Burbank just sits there teasing on the Maddux/Bonds.

Haven't purchased a good Maddux card in a while but couldn't pass on this one. Not sure I've ever seen one.

Chris,

I believe the emeralds are numbered to the set sequential number. Since Thomas was card M27, there should be 27 copies.

Ok I was thinking about how many Jeter's were made.

Excellent! Those are mythic rare. I've never seen a Thomas, yet at least two of my buddies have it. For a card #'d to 50, go figure.

Definitely one of the "rarest" #d /50 out there.

1. Nobody opened this crap.
2. There were massive amounts produced. Massive amounts thrown out.
3. When one of these is pulled, it's difficult to even know, unless you look closely. I bet theres a ton of these out there that people think are commons

Heyyyy, I busted a box! And I got a Tony Gwynn auto'd ball redemption. One of my coolest pulls ever.

They were fun when I was younger. I busted like 6 boxes a few weeks ago for nostalgia. Pulled a Jay Buhner ball redemption and a Robin Ventura #d /50. Then about 200 packs worth of gahbage!

On 99 Topps Gold Label, baseballcardpedia lists 900 total cards for the "one to one". How is that even possible if there are only 100 cards in the base set?

**EDIT** Maybe I answered my own question? There is a one to one for each of the base "sets"? Ie class I base, black, red and class II base, black red all have one to ones?

I bought a case worth for practically nothing a few years ago and didn't pull one. These things were BURIED. Super Raves were numbered to 25 and in an equally overproduced product and are WAY easier to find than these.

That is correct. There's a 1/1 for each of the three classes and each of the three colors per class, for a total of 9 possible 1/1's per card in the set. Exhausting isn't it? ;-)

Newest addition. The first Thomas I have seen. Glad to check this one off the list!
