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

[BunchOBull]

Nice Frank!

That helps with knowing where they originated from. I guess I should look around for a player list to make sure Will wasn't in that set. He was still considered great in 1992, so there is a chance he made the set.

I know I have a Don Mattingly somewhere, unless I gave it away...other than that, I don't remember who I've seen over the years.

Yikes...this went for a good $45 more than I paid for mine. Has me wondering if we don't have a few more Bagwell collectors in the mix or if somebody is doing the set.

When did you buy yours? If it's been longer than 3 years, you probably were smart enough to hop on the train before the boom.

I wanna say the summer of 2008. I wouldn't call it hopping on the train. I always have collected 90's stuff since I got into collecting again(2006). And I was pretty indiscriminate about Bagwell stuff. If I needed it, I bought it. If anything...the boom actually knocked the wind out of my sails. I never like to collect what's popular and this is a good reason why. Whoever won it, I hope it was a Bagwell collector.

I've asked the same thing about some Belle cards which have sold on eBay... sometimes I assume it is a set collector and not another Belle collector. Great pick up though if you got it in the past for half that price... always feels good

Any time I see stuff like this, I don't always feel like its a player collector. Though I will say over the last year or so Bagwell has seen an uptick in prices.

I think I paid close to $27 for mine after shipping maybe? Not sure. It was a long time ago. But there is no way, even to this day, that I'd pay that much for this card. So, yeah, I am glad I already got it.

1999 Bowman Chrome International Refractor (centering is horrible to say the least but I finally have a copy)

Nice International Refractor. If you find them without horrible centering, you have done very well for yourself. Check the BGS pop report for that set.

Yeah I know even my gold refractor is off center.

I take it these are hard to come by?

 

[BunchOBull]

Congrats on the Inverted Atomic. In as much as the card is at the top of my want list, I didn't push too hard for it and decided to hold out that I might find one for a few bucks one of these days. I think it'll happen...who knows when?

I wonder what it would have sold for if he'd have listed it properly?

Only 205 PSA10, this includes both international refractors and international non-refractors.......this card would not resub as a PSA10 under PSA current guidelines.

 

[nosterbor]

just got this today! only took 13 years to find one! also got in a lot of 7 98 teks. i am now 2 away from finnishing
#60-67 #60-76

why would they put a card inside this

who is going to destroy a serial numbered to 100 card?

thanks.

Assuming its because the centering is slightly off?....either way, doesn't matter since I really despise PSA and would never willingly submit with them.

Centering being a 9. For PSA to convert a BGS 9.5 to PSA 10 the card must be all 9.5 or higher; a card with a 9 will convert if there is at least one 10, a card with 2x9 will not convert to 10.

I understand your feeling about PSA, I feel the same way about Beckett.

I should know the answer to this but these had cards inside, so essentially a bunch of these could of been opened and tossed after right? I haven't seen the Albert Belle.

Been offline a few days so I'm gonna catch up all in one post:

Yikes...this went for a good $45 more than I paid for mine. Has me wondering if we don't have a few more Bagwell collectors in the mix or if somebody is doing the set.

Makes me wish we could see who is bidding on the cards instead of the goofy hidden astrisks and letters thing they got goin on. I know I didnt win it. I could get a bunch more cards for 70 bucks.

The platinum Medallion guy doesnt have a Bagwell listed

That Winners card is hot. Just another Bagwell that will take me forever to get, especially if I have to fight 44 other player collectors to pick one up.

Nice Inverted Atomic Refractor there. It wasnt until I joined this site that I even knew they made inverted mirror image cards.

Bacon - I have Biggios if you want em.

I've only gotten 2 cards this week, one is a 2001 Bowman Chrome XFactor Bagwell which only cost me a nickel. And since this is a 90s only page, I'm not sharing a scan. But I also got this 99 Donruss Statline for 59 cents. But does it count as a 90s insert or a 00's insert? The copyright date is 2001, but its considered 99? Whats the deal?

Its considered a 2001 card. In '01 Donruss released those as inserts in packs. They didn't produce cards in 1999. That being said, I think we"ll allow it here cuz Statlines still rule. Great buy

If the price of that Brilliants gold scares you, you're in for a ride if a platinum medallion of Bags shows up. Or one of those winners cards actually gets a decent title and is up for auction that we all know about.

As for the Inverted Refractors out of Bowman's Best...I've been looking for them for a couple of years now but it always seems they elude me. I don't think they are being listed in a way I am searching.

Very nice inverted atomic! Congrats on the pickups!

Just saw a Biggio and Juan Gone atomic inverted sell on ebay for a fraction of the Thomas inverted. Granted, I thought the titles were horrible.

Had he used full player names, I think they would have done a lot better.

Anyone who ripped a Gold Impulse open and threw it away should get their face punched off.

I'd bet that many of them are still in packs, I know I refused to buy that stuff when it came out because I hated (and still do, to some degree) jumbo cards. Pretty sure I've seen a few online dealers with Zenith boxes for sale, fairly cheap too.
