Trivia question

[cbrandtw]

Besides plates or 1/1's what is the rarest insert or parallel from the 1990's? I think I know the answer but I've been wrong a million times before.

 

[boomo]

im sure something donruss made.

 

[magicpapa]

starting 9?

 

[Philip J. Fry]

1996 Select Certified Mirror Gold/1997 Pinnacle Certified Mirror Gold?

Maybe even the 1997 Donruss Preferred Precious Metals?

Are you talking according to serial numbering or compared to overall print run?

May sound like a stupid question, but what I mean is if there is a card /25 out of a rarely busted product versus /5 from a widely busted product, which one is "rarer"?

1998 Red Crusades?

Not a stupid question. I know what you mean. I guess I should say what is the lowest print run across an entire insert or parallel set from the 1990s? This would exclude the 98 and 99 E-X sets with varying parallel print runs for every player.

The Bowman Chrome Gold Ann Ref comes to mind.

This. /5

Unless you count some parallel autograph set numbered to a player's jersey number (I think 99 SP Signature did this, or some of the SP buyback sets)

Yeah, well, that's what happens when I don't read the entire thread.

That is what I was thinking of. I was going to bid on this but the guy ended it 12 hours before the end of the auction. I watched it for days for no reason.

What about the precious metals ? I know that they were near dam impossible to pull

1997 had a print run of 100
1998 had a print run of 50

 

[predatorkj]

I could think of a card that is nowhere on your radars that is ten times rarer than any of the normal inserts.And by rare I mean they never show up.I even ask people who have collected Bagwell since day one and they don't have them nor have they ever seen them.One that comes to mind is the 1992 Colla Collection auto.Its numbered to 500 but its impossibly hard to find.I would imagine its hard for other collectors to find their players as well.Plus the 1992 donruss diamond kings Jumbr the 1992 score promo panels.

 

[Cobra29svt]

Do they look like these?

 

[predatorkj]

Do they look like these?

Yeah but find me one for Bags and I will be impressed.I have seen a Frank before.Odd thing is I had no idea they did them for different cards.The guide merely mentions they are #'d to /200.Does this mean I have 11 or 12 different ones to track down?

 

[Cobra29svt]

I think it's 200 spread out among the different cards. Trust me, the Frank's aren't any easier to locate than the Bagwell's. Including mine, I have seen 3 of the left and 2 of the right. I just got the one on the right about a month ago.
