"Rare" 90s inserts

[George_Calfas]

Great cards George! and nice sale. PSA 10 set collector I assume? I need to find one of those mirror gold Chipper's. Looks like you got some nice beauty's there!

Thanks John, that subset grades extremely tough!

I'm throwing a basketball card in here because it was always one of my favorites and I miss is so...

what is that numbered to?

#'d to 100 on the back. The first 10 have a green background, so there are really only 90 of the red ones.

So the odds of pulling the green and red are the same?

Technically no... The reds are are 9x more plentiful, therefore, 9x easier to get. I know I got mine at a steal back in 2001 or something like that. Wish I would have kept track, but oh well.

I'm very jealous, here's mine, all have the dents Also, I was looking more for a specific serial number; These are 3/30, 17/30, 18/30, 24/30, 29/30

I have 5 Andruw's as well. My serial numbers are: 4, 10, 13, 14, and 23.

If I understood George correctly, it appears all 30 cards were released. So between us 3, there are 19 more Andruw's out there.

Horace Grant green sold for $185. If you don't remember, Horace Grant was nothing more than a good role player on the Jordan Bulls.

Sorry, it may be the wrong sport but baseball inserts never had jack on the basketball ones.I tried to get one of these started in the basketball forums but I guess the interest died.Feel free to start posting it up over there

Actually its always been all of the above.The thing is...there are only so many rare ones.Its a great thread to see and find new things you didn't even know existed.I think it has spawned a 90's collector revolution.Its one of the most popular threads here and gets added to daily.Kinda hard to mess with a thread 300 pages strong!

I put rare in quotes, because the inserts aren't exactly considered rare by todays standards of /25, /10, /5, and 1/1. Some of the best inserts were made in the 90s. Crusades, 93 Refractors and so on. What are some of the other hard to find, significant, or just eye appealing 90s inserts that are out there? I picked up a 1998 Select 5 Star Bonus last night. I think they are sharp looking cards. The Donruss Elite Series, 1996 Select Certified, and the 1997 Pinnacle Certified. What are some of your favorites or what else should make the list?

Agreed on all points. Sorry. I was just explaining why it "used to be my favorite thread". It used to be every time I checked was something I thought was cool, now it's very hit or miss. Many people will say, "If you don't like it, don't click on it." That's the problem, I really did like the thread. It's a habit! Hey, I am guilty as anyone...I posted a 2000 card, and I posted a card that wasn't even an insert, I think...

Let's get back to topic on hand:

 

[predatorkj]

Not a bad buy for $6 and from a board member to boot!

 

[jarcar]

Ohhh, I really like that one...Very nice!

I like it a lot too. The thing is,it is not rare at all, just very cool.

Not bad at all! Great card.

 

[BunchOBull]

I rescanned this card today...it really pops.

 

[tonsofcommons]

Great card. I really like the foil on those better than what they did after that where the background is just "platinum".

The Piazza Crash redemption is AWESOME!
