apparently Pedro has a Select Quasar card or two, which I've never seen

I've got lots of love for that set

Good sale! I know the buyer, so it's going to a good home. I thought the seller might be looking for a little more than that.

I was so high on getting another one of these because I was so impressed with the Ripken. The Ripken was on thick stock and the finish on the card was incredibly smooth. It was fun to touch. But this Lofton is thin - as thin as a base Collector's Choice card. And the finish is smooth, just nothing quite like the Ripken. I thought it was interesting that two cards from the same insert set with such low production could be this different in thickness. But one great thing about the Lofton is NO print lines!

Interesting observation... makes me want to go check my Belles... Anyways, that card looks so sharp and is one of my favs in the 90s! Congrats, really nice 90s insert.

NICE. Did you buy those from a fellow FCBer? Man, I remember when those hit COMC and my eyes popped out of my head...

Nice! I only managed to get one of the 3 crusades I needed that historic day, but fortunately connected with the guy that bought the other two (via FCB).

I dont' think all players had samples listed that day, so fingers crossed that there is another dump in the near future

Very historic day and I caught teeth missing out on the Belles.... still in the hands of a board member (and on eBay)... maybe one day they'll find there way home ;)

Funny thing is that these weren't for sale. I think I bugged him enough though :lol:

I see the Belle cards on Ebay. Doesn't seem like to bad a deal if he would come down a lil bit which I'm sure he would.

I missed out on my player too guys. I was late to the party, snagged a few, have sold most, but the Clark's that were on there were nabbed by a fellow FCB'er and later sold off to a good home, just not my home :(

Oh, and yes, I have lots of random stuff on ebay, a lot more than just cards. I've sold Nerf Turbo Football's for $80 and Vintage Iron Maiden T Shirts for $200. If it's worth something, I've probably sold it . . . including Tech N9ne :p

A fellow board member? I know where the other 3 known copies are at.....just interested to see where #4 is. I made him a pretty good offer just north of $1k, and he countered back at the $1,500 he sold it for. Would have paid it if I didn't have one already. Any idea on how he came across a set??
