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

The Diamond Marks prototypes and artcards were both highly susceptible to miscuts...they look trimmed almost, despite being machine cut. I have many examples with the same problem. Likely BGS graders were being cautious.

Anyone have a Diamond Marks Prototype Kirby Puckett that they would be willing to trade or sell?

 

[BunchOBull]

Here's one with the edge issue, every copy I've had of this card has been this way.

 

[BBCgalaxee]

Are the diamond marks promos labeled sample, promo, prototype or anything like it?

This would confirm my suspicions.

I only have a picture. It sold at the same time as the Roberto Alomar. The price? 10.99

They say prototype on the back edge. I've sold a few to player collectors here from a lot I purchased for the Thomas. A lot of collectors think that the "Diamond Marks" cards are all prototypes, but in reality, there was a small prototype set that superceeds the more common "release" issue that is all over eBay. That set isn't technically a prototype despite its not going mainstream.

The Gonzalez prototype has a different picture. They are very hard to find.

Go for it. It's all yours. As a Bagwell collector, I wouldn't want it.

^^^^^ Glad it's in a good home Michael.

Are the 1994 Topps Black Gold pack-issued redemptions worth anything close to the 1993s? Picked up a C/D redemption (the NL set) on COMC, haven't heard as much buzz about the 1994s as the 1993s.

 

[nosterbor]

The 94's are much more rare than the 93's. The player strike in 94 caused alot of the card manufacturers to drastically cut production of all series 2 products.

Neat, I had assumed the opposite, and thought I might be taking a real gamble spending a whole 75 cents on that C/D redemption. Did I do OK?
