Hey Guys,

Came across this today the 98 Collections Donruss Prized Collections Preferred Randy Johnson and in the guide it states a print run of "less than 55 sets" I was curious if there was ever print runs released on them? Also, anyone have any idea what this Johnson would go for on the bay?
Thanks for any and all help!
***MAGICPAPA FORGOT ABOUT GETTING THE GRIFFEY OUT IN THE MADNESS OF GETTING ALL THE STUFF I SOLD IN THE MAIL! GRIFFEY WILL BE OUT ON MONDAY. SORRY ABOUT THAT.

my guess is 10-15 but could be more or less. track the belle, olerud, caminiti ending soon on ebay. (the seller won those in a lot for the giles and is selling the other 3) ive sold my 2 bagwell pairs of prized preferred for roughly 8-15 a piece also. and just sold an andruw to a board member for 10 dlvd. i think ive seen some superstars go for 30-50. these are RARE cards but i think the lack of serial numbering and popularity hurt its values

Are the 1997 spx Grand finales the ones with the gold border/silver hologram or gold border/gold hologram?

Gold/gold.

Yup, gold/gold and not serial numbered:

Very nice card and one of the hardest for me to track down.

Okay, not an insert, but I picked up this 1991 Pepsi "Flavor of Baseball" set that is pretty rare from what I'm told. The SCD catalog says they were only distributed in the Miami area, glued into 12-packs, but that there were some "executive" sets that were given to company executives. This complete set shows no signs of adhesive residue, and no card bending typical of cards having to be removed from boxes (SCD notes that the cards inside the boxes were hard to remove). I'm thinking of breaking this up for my fellow player collectors benefit. Anyone interested in their guy should PM me.

Man, I have been looking for Biggio for a LONG time.

Where did you find the Andruw?

 

[Fandruw25]

Burbank, Cost me $39, but seeing as I've only seen this once before I wanted to grab it.

 

[tonsofcommons]

The starring role is AWESOME!

Got a mess load of stuff in today but I was pretty ticked at the postman.

After hearing about these fleer tradition diamond skills promo sheets I was excited when another member here contacted me about them being up for auction.It was a multiple auction so I won two of them(out of the three).The seller shipped them in what I consider a very secure manner but of course the post office strikes again!They took the package they came in and crammed it in the mailbox.It was bent pretty bad and I just knew what it was going to look like.Sure enough both promo sheets(they are actually cardboard) are creased right down the middle the whole entire length! :evil:

Got these in from Tonsofcommons along with a few others.

Got this one from BUNCHOBULL!Thanks for the extra freebies!

Got these three from Burbank(yay!).Although you'd think with as much as they charge for these cards they could afford some penny sleeves.All 4 cards I got from them were in a 75 point toploader with no penny sleeves.Come on Burbank!Use some of that $17 I spent with you and go buy some sleeves!

Also got this in today as well and I am glad it wasn't bent because honestly when I saw the package the fleer tradition promos came in I thought it was this card that was in it.

1994 topps finest jumbo
