"Rare" 90s inserts

[johng]

Hey I had a question about the 1996 Ultra Thunderclap Gold Medallions: Are they as tough as I have found them to be over the last decade. They are more than the regular 1996 Ultra gold medallion, correct?
Here are a handful of the ones i have:

1:7XX IRRC. I pulled a McGwire when the product was released.

1 out of 700? that's kind of tough I think. thanks alot!

I think the home run king sub-sets are tougher though, but don't know exact numbers either.

here are a few that were hard to get:

You don't still own this card do you? The only reason I ask is Fandruw25 has the exact same card. The peel off part of the stickers appear to be in the exact same locations, so I assume you traded or sold the card to him. It would definately be odd if two existed.

HI Oh the mirror 1/1 above was obtained from the internet. It's one of my selections among the '90s inserts that are hard to get.

This card is always listed in the price guides!

HUGE SHOUTOUT TO GEORGE C.

Thank you, my friend. I didn't expect this... especially not so quick! I love it and it goes great with the other 2. Now I need to go find you something Thanks again. For all my 90's followers:

He is the man, he sent me a nice 1999 Finest Gold Refractor a few months back.

They had the same inserion ratio as the Thunderclap GM's.

 

[johng]

Thanks for the insert ratios!

You know the Dufex technology on the Pinnacle cards was amazing! I had sent in 2 of the Museum Collections from '97 along with the Press Plate Preview and PSA refused to put the plate in a holder. BGS slabs them, though. Oh well...

Hi, I liked the 97 Flair Legacy that the Grieve collector showed, so thought I'd put up two that PSA graded as 8's.
They'll always be 10's to me.

1997 Flair Showcase Row 1 Legacy Collection

1997 Flair Showcase Row 2 Legacy Collection

The Row 0 Legacy Collection cards are so hard for me to find! Anyone have a scan of one they can share? Thanks.

That's my card....I still own it.

Crusades of any color are Incredible! Surprisingly, this Crusade got a 9 from PSA, despite the big, obvious Refractor line on top!

1997 Donruss Crusade Green Call To Arms

Still Looking for the RED!!!

I Just love how the 'Pacific Terrific' cards from the 1993 Stadium Club Member's Only set are gold stamped on BOTH sides of the same card!!

Anyone know what the production numbers were for the 1993 Member's Only set?? Thanks.

I think onionring and johng should get married and have beautiful 90's inserts babies together.
