Oh no, don't worry about it! When I saw it listed I figured it would draw your attention as well with your recent pickups. It was still cheap!

I love the look of the cards.I would try to get one of each player but the griffeys go for a ton of money same with alex rodriguez.

Fandruw25 said:Anyone know if they made gold versions for all 20 patterns or just the first 15. I don't recall ever seeing a gold 'color' (P 16-20) version.
All 20. I've only got one from 1-15 (7) and I've got 3 of the 5 colored. I was the exact opposite of you thinking they only did the colored ones for years and not 1-15

DAMN!!
I was really hoping that only the first 15 had variations. Thanks for the response, and the scans! It's funny though because I got my first one, then didn't see another for 2-3 years then all of a sudden they all popped up within a couple months.

Not really, they have different designs. I have a plaid Jeter.
BTW, I had a chance to pick up 3 Grieve Autos today, eX2000 signatures, 1996 Donruss Sigs, and 98 Donruss sigs. Need them?

Hey, if I found some Pacific inserts for you, would any of those A-Rods become available for trade?

Those are pretty cool cards. Some people say there are three variations, there are really only two. When you got these, they came with a dark sticker back. You peeled off the back to see if you got sparkle or hyperplaid. It was like a pack in a pack. Here's examples of all of them.
Scan 1) unpeeled
Scan 2) sparkle
Scan 3) hyperplaid

I know this post is long and a lot of you don't like reading long posts but please read it!I would like to know what ya'll are thinking.
Okay...I guess its finally time to ask this.With all of the recent interest in what otherwise was a dead trend...do we start seeing prices really start to creep up more and more for 90's and early 2000's inserts?I know among player collectors they are always sought after because for a while there it was always easy to find these things cheap but it always seemed it was never for your player.Basically it seemed like you were lucky to even find your guy.But even then they were still cheap.But now with all of the recent interest in not just player collecting but in the inserts as a whole...are these things going to start being as popular and valuable as they once were when they reigned back in the day?
I see it possibly happening.I mean I used to go through countless 3 row boxes and pick up stacks of these at card shops for $1 or less a piece and we are talking major stars here.Griffey, Ripken, A-Rod, Maddux, Smoltz...you name it.I will admit that there always seem to be a lot of Nomars and Sosas more than any other player but I suppose thats just because these players are way past their prime and just weren't commanding the prices they once did and now everybody and their brother has an excess they are trying to unload.But seriously I just went to a flea market not a month and a half ago and pulled quite a stack out and I have gone to several shows and pulled them out by the boatload as well as several shops.
I mean...I walked into a shop out in Spring Texas and literally pulled probably 200 cards of all of these star players and they were all 90's inserts and I spent about $200 total.Granted this was 2 years ago but since I got back in to collecting not long ago I really loved these things and was happy to find they ran pretty cheap.So I focused on them and purchased a lot of them.If I were to take that same stack and drop them on ebay or even sell them to members here(I do not want to but its hypothetical)...I'd triple my money at the very least and on some of them I would hazard a guess I could even make back 10 times my money easily.But the point is the only reason I got such good deals is because these cards were basically seen as a dead trend and nobody was looking for them.
I think everyone got so caught up in the auto and GU craze that these were left in the dust like long forgotten treasures just waiting for a group to come along and make them popular again.I know I may sound crazy but there was a time just a couple of years ago that I would get these cards and it seemed like there was only a mild interest in them.Even on the old boards people were semi interested but not like they are now.Now it seems everybody is getting on the train.Its a good thing because if these become more popular then of course not only will they become what they should be worth to begin with but we will also see more of them surface as people realize they are now popular and you can sell them.
What do ya'll think?Are they becoming more and more popular or do you think autos and GU still rule the baseball card hobby?Personally I think they are making a comeback because there could be a lot of younger and even just newer collectors who are just now being introduced to them and all they have known the whole time is the GU and auto stuff.I actually think its kinda cool.
