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

[Ghumbs]

The black background makes it look pretty chippy, but it's actually not bad at all...

Every time I see one of these I wonder what it would have looked like if more than just that itty bitty Ultra symbol had the cool foil. Like what if Pizzazz and Thomas were all in that cool foil or the team logo or something.

Awesome card and congrats!

Have we ever determined how rare these 1999 UD Choice Prime Choice Reserve jumbos are, how they were distributed, etc? I don't think Beckett identifies them.

love these cards...especially the Piazza, since Pizazz and Piazza have the same letters. just looks neat.

the version below with the purple foil is the Masterpiece version. i believe only Series 2 had the purple foil on the Masterpiece (similar to Flair Legacy Showcase cards)

I'm wondering if other Masterpiece cards besides the Pizzazz have the purple foil on the front. My two do not.

I honestly don't think they are that rare. I remember seeing a 500 count lot of Griffey a few years ago. I will say that I have never seen any since and I don't know what happened to those either? I have never seen another player either so not really sure I guess?

Thanks for the reply - I remember a couple A-Rods popped up a couple of years ago and a board member bought one.

That looks pretty awesome!

Got a great deal on a Griffey Elite Prized Collections. Arrived today in a PWE, with a cardboard buffer (inside the penny sleeve!!) in a card saver. This allowed for the top of the card to slip out resulting in a touched top right corner. Not creased but torqued so the refractor line breaks and thus looks like a legit crease. Grumble grumble...

Came in the mail today. My run of 90's refractors is done, I'll take a pic in a bit when I find the 93

Why do people think shipping using a card saver is ok? I got a game used card and they used a card saver and sure enough, creased at the corners of the piece.

Highlights from a recent random lot buy. Lots of mid-tier inserts to wade through, but in the midst of it, a few gems! A handful of these have sold already, including both diffractors.

Got these recently:

These are the unreleased Crusade cards. No idea if there is a red one out there or not.

Sweet pickups this week!

Congrats, I was the under bidder on the Lankford and Morris lots, good luck on your flips.

Just came across this from the January '98 Beckett and figured it topical.



Wouldn't this statement from Pinnacle contradict the supposed fact that there are announced print runs?

One of the dealers has tons and tons of discount boxes, and in addition to the normal 5¢ and 10¢, he does 7¢ (which is what he didn't sell for 10¢ the previous show). Plenty of people missed this one.
