I got mine off of the Beckett marketplace late last year. It's the only one I've seen of Cruz. They strange part is that Cruz never made it into the actual autograph set.

Not inserts, but '90s...I think I've ran across a couple of unmarked promos for 1993 Pinnacle. Are these cataloged anywhere?

1993 Pinnacle Promos
On six of the eight cards issued to premiere Pinnacle’s ’93 set, the difference between the promo version and the issued version is so slight it can easily go unnoticed - the “TM” in the upper-right corner on front is larger on the promo than on the regular card. Promo cards #3 and 5 are easier to spot because the team logos on back of the promos are the old Expos and Mariners logos, rather than the new versions found on issued cards.

1 Gary Sheffield
2 Cal Eldred
3 Larry Walker
4 Deion Sanders
5 Dave Fleming
6 Carlos Baerga
7 Bernie Williams
8 John Kruk

I do believe yours are promos. The TM is larger than standard 1993 Pinnacles.

Don't see very often at all.
(Scan doesn't do it justice. Etching, Dufex, and Rainbow foil...oh the good old days!)

Does anyone know anything about these request forms? I had never seen one before and it was too good to pass up. A couple of things - they totally misspelled Ryno's name and he didn't even end up in the set.

Chandy has a ton of that Bankruptcy stuff up like that, I am asuming that's where you got it. Pretty cool stuff for sure! I couldn't bring myself to paying for any, though! :oops:

That is where I got it. I went back and forth several times before finally pulling the trigger. It is a pretty cool piece.

this guy has a lot of diamond axis up for sale. dont know if this has been discussed.

http://shop.ebay.com/thepowerseller/m.html?_trksid=p4340.l2562

The Olerud never showed up in my searches since I filter them to only include listings with shipping available to Canada. Occasionally if I hear of listings like these I'll contact the seller and ask if they'll ship to Canada and they often will, but when I tried to contact this seller I got a message that he doesn't accept questions and please reread the listing. Oh well :?

I like how the "Sanberg" card in the licensee letters is misspelled.

HAHA!

BTW, Very nice!

And that Ripken MVP is awesome. NEVER seen those before!

I grabbed this one:

Wish it would have cost the same as the other version that I snagged on COMC.com for $13!

I was hoping to scoop up a few, but only ended up with another Greer. Tried to get the Buhner, but it went for over $21.

I thought it was interesting that he didn't list them as Diamond Axis.

Thanks to Fandruw for trying to snipe the Olerud for me, but it went for more than my meager budget would allow. Thanks also to the 3 or 4 other fine FCB'ers who offered to snipe the card for me too. You guys rock!

The one Gwynn I needed ended @ $61... :o. It wasn't even my $25 bid with 5 seconds left that pushed it up!!
