"Rare" 90s inserts

[Bornagaincollector]

I have an opportunity to pick up a '93 topps finest refractor of rickey henderson for $12. Should I do it?

Yeah,just make sure it's the refractor.93 Refractors don't say refractors on them.

Don't know if this has been answered or asked so bear with me.

What were the odds of pulling the 1993 topps black gold winner cards. Just curious. Saw one the other day and it was a nice blast from the past.

Topps Black Gold cards 1-22 were randomly inserted in series I packs while card numbers 23-44 were featured in series II packs. They were also inserted three per factory set. In the packs, the cards were inserted one evrery 72 hobby or retail packs; one every 12 jumbo packs and one every 24 rack packs. Hobbyists could obtain the set by collecting individual random insert cards or receive 11, 22, or 44 Black Gold cards by mail when they sent in special "You've Just Won" cards, which were randomly inserted in packs. Series I packs featured three different "You've Just Won" cards, entitling the holder to receive Group A (cards 1-11), Group B (cards 12-22), or Groups A and B (Cards 1-22). In a similar fashion, four "You've Just Won" cards were inserted in series II packs and entitled the holder to receive Group C (23-33), Group D (34-44), Groups C and D (23-44), or Groups A-D (1-44). By returning the "You've Just Won" card with 1.50 for postage and handling, the collector received not only the Black Gold cards won but also a special "You've Just Won" card and a congratulatory letter informing the collector that his/her name has been entered into a drawing for one of 500 uncut sheets of all 44 Topps Black Gold cards in a leatherette frame. These standard-size cards feature different color player photos than either the 1993 Topps regular issue or the Topps Gold issue. The player pictures are cut out and superimposed on a black gloss background. Inside white borders, gold refractory foil edges the top and bottom of the card face. On a black-and-gray pinstripe pattern inside white borders, the horizontal backs have a a second cut out player photo and a player profile on a blue panel. The player's name appears in gold foil lettering on a blue-and-gray geometric shape. The first 22 cards are National Leaguers while the second 22 cards are American Leaguers. Winner cards C and D were both originally produced erroneously and later corrected; the error versions show the players from Winner A and B on the respective fronts of Winner cards Cand D. There is no value difference in the variations at this time. The winner cards were redeemable until January 31, 1994.

Question:

I was perusing sportlots and I came across a 1991 topps Micro for Bagwell.Now Bags was not in the regular topps set only traded.Has anyone seen one of these.I figured it was actually a goof up and they meant the 1992 or 1993 micro but I checked the numbers and they are both drastically different than the number they had for this card which was #731.None of his other micros have this number or anything close to it and going all the way to 1994 he doesn't have a card numbered to #731 so I figure something oddball maybe?Does anyone have a micro set already opened they can check?I have 1991, 1992, and 1993 but I have them all still sealed.I was just wondering.I can't believe beckett screwed up this bad if they indeed left it off the list.Especially since the other two are on there.

On that note sportlots is a great place to find some really oddball and hard to find stuff.I saw several things on there I needed and I only went up to 1996.The only tricky part is going through their collector's choice stuff because that can be really hard to figure out whats what even with a list in front of you.

Nothing really "fancy" for a 90s insert, but I kinda liked the look of it, and my brother in seattle still likes him!
Edgar and Moyer were his favorites...

Don't remember if I posted this one or not 1997 z-team 8x10. The back of mine only says 0273 sequentially numbered. Never found a print run, and I've never seen another in person. There is a Griffey on ebay (not mine) for $30 if anyone was looking for one. I personally think it's a great price
