Sweet ass cards ThoseBackPages

I put a bid in on the two Kevin Brown diffractor lot on Ebay just for the hell of it. Dude wants way to much for it anyway.

He then sends me this which made me laugh pretty hard.

"Hello, we just noticed that you have these cards for sale and that you are interested in our Kevin Brown diffractors. Would you be interested in trading our two Brown diffractors for your clemens/jones diffractors?"

I had recently been working on getting access to a supercollection. The owner of the shop finally called saying that the Bagwell binder from the collection was there and ready for viewing. I left with 30 cards and 100 dollars lighter in the wallet. I will be posting my entire haul, including a COMC order in the Bagwell thread, but I felt that these had to be shown off here in the 90s thread. Enjoy!

The rest can be seen in the Bagwell thread. But man was I Stoked to see this bunch of cards in that Binder. I am super glad they are back in my collection. (I had actually owned that Museum Collection before, but gave it to my friend who needed it for his Griffey collection, and the gold medallions i sold off years ago)

No need to be a smarta$$, I was joking. Watchers don't mean $hit. Both of us made offers, Fandruw's was more than fair in my opinion. If it makes you feel good to throw it on ebay, go for it. Just don't expect to be getting Griffey, Ripken, etc... prices like you are hoping for. Personally I find it sad you won't sell it to Fandruw25 for what he offered, lame a$$ move in my opinion. But whatever, they are your cards. Good luck selling them!

So I know the First Pitch Preview cards are really rare. Is there a stated print run for them?
Not sure but here's an interesting tidbit.

This 100-card set was available through Pinnacle's Web site. Collectors had to answer a series of trivia questions to receive the cards via mail. The set parallels the first 100 cards of the regular issue Aficionado release and thus features only the veteran players that have five or more years of Major League service. The cards are similar in design except for the bronze foil highlights and logo on front designating them as "First Pitch Preview" cards.

Production has been estimated at only 50-60 copies of each card, making it one of the toughest promo sets of the era.

I just lost on yet another Dawson.

Who is mad? I just think you are being a smarta$$. Either way, I am not and wasn't really interested to begin with as my offer was low and I asked you to ask Fandruw25 first. Fandruw25 on the other hand was and he has 20 something of them. I just find it lame you have been posting about the card so much. Almost like you were trying to shove it in his face or holding it hostage to get a ridiculous price for it? Like I said, they are your cards and you are free to do what you like with them. Either way, like I said, good luck selling it.

Back on topic:

Can't believe how much the inverted refractors are going for lately. 2 of them in the past 2 weeks!

Not trying to throw it in anybody's face. I just really like diffractors and I'm excited to have it. I have 7 total. Had 8 but someone offered me a good deal for 1.

I think you're just upset that I didn't sell the card to either of you. I guess you're entitled to it for a crap price because you collect him LOL I paid 22 bucks for a Caminiti diffractor so people are willing to pay money for these even if the player isn't Griffey or Ripken.

Let us know when it sells... Until then why don't you let it go? You made your point so move on
nobody wants you to ruin a perfectly good thread over an Andruw Jones diffractor.

Another Prime example of greed because someone assumes that someone is desperate, rather than trying to help a fellow collector out. Particularly one who takes an active roll in this thread.

Just sad.

Good luck with that Clemens Diffractor! Doubt you get anywhere close what you are hoping again.
A Tek Gold /10 just sold for $20. And it was a Spankees card.
