Beautiful card
/25

Great scan too! I love it when you get the blue refraction from those. Most always end up with the gold tints.

Thanks.Try scanning in the dark with the lid up.My scanner is in a closet so I just close the door and scan.

Yeah, It was nice to see a Mac collector (i'm guessing) send me an offer and then just give up waiting and use the BIN on my Mac 00 Ultimate Victory Magic Mark /100.

I had it at a pretty good price ($15 BIN), which isn't quite as good a price as what I paid for it.

Man that set has been one of my "most wanted" to be completed for over 3 years primarily because it shouldn't be that difficult. I'm still 1 short on the /100 and 3 short on the parallels!!

I checked your list before I put it on Ebay. :^)

You already had it!

The database you set up really helped me.

Since you are one of the most educated about Big Mac stuff, is $15 Plus $3 shipping a decent price?

I sold two of those for $7 and $9 two years ago, you did very well!

wow, awesome!

I paid $1 for it at a show last weekend, so regardless, I was happy.

I have such a hard time pulling the trigger on anything card related lately.

Thinking about it today after passing up on a Sosa Sweet Spot for $40 last night.

Right now the card in question is at a great price with 1 hour left. 1993 Finest refractor.

I passed. An urge for a new video game (my other hobby....probably stronger than this one when I have time for gaming) overcame the urge for a rare Sosa card.

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 disagrees. there beez three. the stadium stars. my copy looks horrible cause i think when the peel was removed it took off some of the pattern, but you can make out the baseballs and stars. the pattern is very similar to the 1998 finest stadium stars insert set.

Another question, anything special about this card, other than it look cool?

Thanks!

Got these in today. Just amazing looking cards, and I was looking for them all for a while. The Legacy came from Hong Kong in 7 days, which is amazing.

 

[onionring9]

crap you're right I forgot about that variation!

I think there are plenty out there that haven't been shown.

Unfortunately, I'm at work, so I can't post any new ones, but there have got to be some that haven't been.

BTW, Those are beautiful Pacific Cards. the Blues are especially sweet!

Here's a few from my Jay Canizaro collection, I only need two more cards to complete my Canizaro collection according to Becketts check lists. I have doubts that the two cards were ever made.
Anyone interested in seeing the rest of my Canizaro collection including jerseys, bats and batting helmets, check it out here: http://s263.photobucket.com/albums/ii14 ... zaro%20PC/

love the 97 platinums. best looking of the platinum medallions. still have yet to get my bags. tracked about maybe 3-4 the past 5 years, all ending in the 20-30+ range. last one i saw someone snagged a burbank steal for 11ish

The crusade really annoys me,the top of the card(part above the refractor line) looks fantastic but from the line down the card looks pretty boring.

/100

/250

Alright, maybe someone on here can help me out. Although it's pretty hard to see in the scan, this card has "Pacific Sports Collection Convention 1998" stamped right in the middle.

I can't find this in Beckett anywhere, so I was wondering if you guys knew any information about this. Thanks.

If it helps you at all, I found the platinums on Beckett Marketplace for cheap. $30 total for the pair.

These aren't cataloged by Beckett. Pacific set up a wrapper redemption at most of the major national (and some in Canada and one in Stockholm) card shows. I cannot remember the specifics but it was something along the lines of where you busted a box of their product and could get a card stamped (or a few) with that specific shows Stamp/Date.

I've got dozens of unique varieties for the players I collect.
