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

[mrdallas]

For those interested I checked with the seller and the qty 10 of each card was the entire stock. There are no more once these are sold.

Not sure how many he had total though cause he had at least 13 of Griffey and a few other players as he sold 10 Griffey's in this listing

Regarding the Fan Fest playing cards, interesting buying results for McGwire & Ripken for example...http://offer.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewBidsLogin&item=232337787168&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2564

Then there is Frank Thomas...http://offer.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewBidsLogin&item=232337787171&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2564

Thoughts? Do YOU think the Ripken and McGwire buyers were greedy, looking to flip for big profits or are they habitual hoarders who can't help but buy them all or did they just get lucky by being early enough to grab them all? 9 different folks got a shot at Thomas, but I could see his selling as a group as well if the right buyer sees them first.

I went back and grabbed a Maddux and a Piazza. Would have bought a Thomas too, but they were all gone.

 

[tenballer]

Maybe they bought them all hoping to find a mint copy to grade??

I bought a Thomas, Griffey, Maddux, Chipper, and Ripken for $5 each. As for the Thomas selling to multiple people, we are in communication with each other through facebook, so we can help each other out in times like this.

 

[BunchOBull]

Someone grabbed all the Ripkens before I got to them. Super bummed about that. I guess the search continues......

I grabbed a Ripken, holler at me and we'll get it in your collection.

 

[BunchOBull]

Grabbed this just to drool over what could have been.

Sent you a PM...thanks!

Thanks

I can't speak for the Ripken collector but I bought the McGwires. I usually do this for my fellow mcgwire collectors so they don't miss out and have to pay out a large amount to a flipper. I thought about doing the same for a few more players but I am so busy these days it usually takes me a month or two just to get to the post office and that would just annoy collectors that don't know me so I let those go and just gave a heads up here.

Got my results in last night, was 9-19 overall. Most that didn't gem I knew where questionable. This one I'm pumped about. Pop 1, if you ever had any of the versions the surfaces are brutal!

^^^Nice, I'm sending in my Inverteds in next month or so. Not sure to PSA or BGS yet.

Thanks! If it has even a couple lights scratches it's automatic 8 from PSA. I really hate that some card values are so much higher in PSA because I really hate PSA cases

Just picked up Piazza 1996 Pinnacle Playing Card, thanks so much for the heads up!

I don't like where this is headed.

At the 9.99 pricing , it's not a big risk really.

Interesting though that just 2 days ago the seller told me that he was all sold out. Guess he found some more...

A cool story, I think, how these remained buried for over 20 years, and are just now seeing the light of day.
