That's a beaut. Both of mine (pack pulled) have big corner dings. Those foils were so brutal to find nice copies of for any player.

Does anybody know if there are SPs In the 95 UD Electric Diamond Gold set? I just remember an Alan Tramnell sold for like $335 at auction. Can't find the discussion on that.

The S2 seem to be impossible to find, due to everyone cutting back production for their Series 2 products that year. I recall another Trammell collector saying that copy that popped up was the only known Gold Trammell.

So I picked up this cards today that I don't know what it is. It's a 1996 Topps Frank Thomas Star Power #229 , base card, except with a gold sparkly background. Hard to see in the scan:



Seems familiar but I can't figure it out.

Here's my 1996 Select Certified Rainbow...

If anyone is ready to part with the Mirror Gold, I'm still ready to buy!

That is a gorgeous rainbow. The Shinders in Crystal, MN had a Mirror Gold for sale ($300) back in day. I only had enough to purchase my Mirror Blue for $100.

One of the best $10 purchases I've made. Upper Deck always had (has? their hockey is still great) such good photography. I am a bit disappointed the card doesn't feature an action shot.

Your lucky I will only ever see photos of my player. Aren't there 2 sample variations of this thought one was blank and another had ***/250, ***/100, and xx/25

 

[gradedeflator]

The samples with the *** numbering has different photo than the crusade prototypes.

It's most clear for players who moved teams during the cardboard year, e.g., Pedro Martinez is featured as an Expo in his regular Crusade inserts and in his *** samples. However, in his CTA prototype he is in a Red Sox uni

Well I drank the Kool Aid and grabbed a non numbered '99 Bowman Chrome Gold Refractor to go with mine numbered /25. I wasn't happy with some surface scratches on and and to make matters worse my /25 had a crease that I never noticed when I purchased it years ago. Shame on me to never taking it out of the sellers holder and inspect it but it's a done deal now.

The koolaid tastes and looks delicious, doesn't it? Think of it this way: the non-numbered version is probably quite a bit more rare ... great pickup! I have yet to find the /25 myself though :/
