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

Probstein was likely the consigner and never took the card out of the toploader. Drop Rick a note and see what he says.

BGS reholder was $5 plus you pay shipping both ways

Thanks, Might try to get in next months BGS sub.

So, it would seem the bargain hunting on the Crusade protos is officially toast. Though I'd have a shot at the Grieve's. Should probably sell my Erstad's.

Prices are up but I still think they are woefully underpriced. Not everyone feels comfortable going for prototypes and the history/awareness of these cards is still not that robust. I think <$600 for a 90s star is a great deal

Don't disagree but was very happy scooping them up in the $100-$150 range. Aw well.

You did well. I just won the Gars, and own the Piazza rainbow and 2/3 of the Pedro rainbow. Cards are stunning in person, as you know.

Speaking of Crusades, I thought that I stole the Maddux purple the other day. Very happy with the price relative to my snipe

Gorgeous card! Nice score on that one!

[MENTION=1845]gracecollector[/MENTION] did you grab those protos that were taken down early? Hope so.

Wasn't me. He wanted $900.

Does that mean I grossly undersold my Randy Johnson Green for $135

WOW! That's nutty. Looks like Justice's ended early as well.

Glad I finally caved on the Giambi's at $275. Just wish there had been a purple :/

This sure seemed like a steal the other night

I just got done telling ghumbs it's been awhile since I've picked up a super sweet 90s card for a nice price on a random search. Almost bought this from a board member a couple years ago for $30ish. It's cropped pretty close, so I'm interested to see what the edges are like on a condition sensitive card.

Good luck with that. Hope it works out. Def a great pick up. Congrats!!

I acquired this the day Frank Thomas was voted into the Hall of Fame. Rad too because I had looked for this card aggressively for 7 years.

There tough cards to find took me a while to get a Jeter and I had to trade for it as well.

Speaking of Thomas steals, this makes me cry. No, I didn't get it, just doing my semi-regular mystery Emerald search. Free shipping!!

Wow is that the one that's numbered to 10 or less? Someone hit the jackpot and someone else had no clue what they had.

Chris,

I believe the emeralds are numbered to the set sequential number. Since Thomas was card M27, there should be 27 copies.
