Opinion: '98 Totally Certified Plat Gold or '99 Brilliants 24kt

[CardboardRectangles]

I have the opportunity of picking up a 1997 Pinn. Totally Cert. Platinum Gold Larkin PSA 9 or a 1999 Fleer Brilliants 24kt. Larkin PSA 9 for roughly the same price. Neither one is cheap. Which would you guys pick up?

My gut is telling me 24kt. There's been only 1 ever sold on Worthpoint's ebay sales history and several totally cert. plat gold larkins.

But there's also something very iconic about totally cert. plat. gold.

That's a tough call. But I feel like the Platinum Golds come up a little more often, at least with who I collect. Although neither come up very often it seems.

I like the 24kt Brilliants better. The platinum gold is awesome but it's the same as the red and blue, except a different color. With the 24kt, even though it's also a colored parallel, it looks much different and cooler than the others. Nothing else like it IMHO.

The 24kt parallel is one of the most beautiful ever produced, a top 5 card for me. The Platinum Golds don't break my top 10.

I assume you mean the 97 Gold , but the 24kt looks better IMO and the 96 Mirror Gold overshadows the 97 Gold. I hate that Clark is on the Orioles in the 24kt, but it ranks up there in my favorite cards.

i think the the peel on the platinum gold appearance wise kils it. the ones that are peeled really pop. the brillants just radiates.

Yeah, good call out I meant '97.

24Kt..

 

[linuxabuser]

Brilliants all day!

 

[mouschi]

They are two of my absolute favorites! I'm going to say 97 platinum gold, though. The 24k is insanely beautiful, but the way the light dances off the 97 ... I love more!

I guess the true answer is ... get both!

 

[RStadlerASU22]

Yes, like Tanner said, make it easy and get both.

If I only HAD to take one I wold go with the Brilliants, no question about it. However, I would do whatever I could to make the purchase of both of them happen. Good luck. Let us know.

**edit to add the 24 K by a longshot for me, from someone who has both. The fact that it is graded actually makes it less appealing for me, which I know is just a personal thing. Even in ungraded form, the 24 K is 1. Rarer, and 2. beautifull-er!
