September 2021 - New Arrivals Thread

[Philip J. Fry]

I loved 94 as a kid, then 95 came out with the lightning and I crapped myself, still one of my favorite looking sets

That’s my next favorite Finest set; the baseball design was very lacking, as if they just threw something together just to get a chrome set out that year.

A pretty rare early 90s find is what he's got there. Topps did redemptions for the black gold cards and it came in several forms. They broke down the whole set into four subsets, A, B, C and D you can find several varieties, some are individual group, some A/B etc...then some for the whole shabang. I'm far from an expert but I did a little research on these when I was going hard in my Biggio collection.

I see, thanks for the info. At first I thought it was a full size uncut sheet but the redemption card has the images of the cards which threw me off.

Yep. Here’s the back since I confused a few collectors

Have those ABCD winners come way down in price? I thought I saw one for around $30 (can't remember year) with the other being around $50. Sounds like a ton for what it is still, but I know people were paying crazy prices for at least one of the years card.

Maybe 94 was the real toughie, as there are a bunch of 93s on COMC right now as low as $11. The winner (redeemed) card is closer to $40 for 93 on COMC, but no 94s showed up in my search..

Yeah 94 ABCD goes for a ton. Usually several hundred from the times I've seen them sell.

I'm sure $15 delivered was a bit high for this card, but it's pretty sharp in person and helps kick-off my latest project.

A couple of HOF pickups for my 1988 Topps signed set:

The Murray auto is JSA certified and was the last signed team card I needed, so glad to be done with those. Drops my wantlist down to 31 cards, with one incoming from COMC.

Probably only confused me, which isn’t hard to do.

Another one arrived for my project. Probably my favorite design of Bowman’s Best from the 90s, if not all time.

Got a few Dylan Carlson parallels in today. Kid's going to be a star I think.

More 90s goodness. Either mail arrived 2x today, or I didn't check the mailbox thoroughly the first time.

 

[Philip J. Fry]

Remember when Topps Finest (and Bowman Chrome and Bowman's Best) had etching and depth in the cards?

 

[WizardofOz1982]

Is there a reason we can't resize images anymore?

Some 90s goodness for set builds. I'm not sure there's a card that sums up '90s era Cardinals baseball better than that 1994 Stadium Club Super Teams card.

The big card for today

This one finishes up the Refractor portion of my set and leaves me 9 cards short of finishing the master run.

I got in 2 really nice Jim Thome cards recently. Both are 1st timers.

2003 UD MVP Pro View #PV17
2004 DR Team Checklist Season Statline #03/86

Been a fun week so far for me.

There is a little box at the bottom of my screen when I post photos. I almost always replace full size images with thumbnails. Of course, I do this from a desktop and not a phone.

I'll look again. I used to have that but I haven't seen it the last two posts.

Yeah I see the Insert button and the box you're talking about. I used to be able to edit individual pictures dimensions by clicking on the picture in the post though.
