Recently pulled, Frank's first pack issued serialized card, numbered to his jersey number. Please excuse the large images, PB hasn't updated my resize yet.

That's awesome! I would love to have Ryno's jersey-numbered Elite card.

Finally got one of these.

Great cards! Got a good collection of Larry Walker myself, but nothing as great as that FPP.

On an unrelated note, is it common for 1996 Bowman's Best Mirror Image Refractors to not say Refractor on them? There are several on COMC that look like Refractors but do not say it on them.

There were cards each of them. The only way to get them was to rip the card open to get the regular sized cards.

Thanks.

With the 96 Bowman's best mirror refractors I don't know for sure if they all say refractor on them. The Walker one I have does say it. COMC has been known to miss label so you may want to confirm with them. Others here may know if all of them say refractor or not.

is that on all the 1998 5x7 zenith cards? or just the Z-team 5x7s ?

also that frank thomas elite above #'d to jersey is freaking sweet!

I have two refractors of Andruw, one says refractor, the other does not. I bought mine from the seller that was selling the uncut 96 bowman's best cuts so it could be some what of a back door issue. I've also got a 97 version missing the word refractor that I picked up off COMC...it was listed as the base.

Got this in yesterday:

1998 Leaf Fractal Materials Wood Z-Axis Die-Cut /50 (first 50 die cut - the other 200 not)

 

[BunchOBull]

Nice pickup! Must have been the one on SportsBuy?

I'm missing the z2 die cut...hope to find one for a steal one day!

Awesome. I gotta learn your secret.

Exactly. He was asking $21.50 and we negotiated $15.

For those into busting super sweet 90's boxes even though you're doomed to come out negative, Brickman has a couple boxes of 1998 Leaf Fractal Materials and he negotiates. Even the base Fractal Foundations are serial numbered, although you don't get very many cards in a pack. They are VHTF as most of the product was opened.

I pulled a Griffey in 92 WADDA A THRILL, a shop had a Thomas, I forked out 100$ and a few pennies, had to have it

Congrats! That's a huge hit even by today's standards just due to odds. I didn't pull the Thomas myself, but it was just recently pulled and is in great shape...the serial number is what I was really after!

 

[Ct Sox Fan]

I got this in the mail the other day and thought it was post worthy!
Hope you enjoy looking at it as much as I do!

Couldn't afford this at the moment, but what a card. I waited 'til it ended to post just in case one of you lucky SOBs were bidding on it.

That must have been a $400 card at the time easy. I remember that it was some sort of law that any one who owned an Elite, or any store that was selling one, had to have it encased in the massive Lucite brick screwdowns. I only own one of the old Elites, a 1991 George Brett. Found in a quarter box at a shop last year

LOVE this card!
