1999 topps MVP promotion Darryl Strawberry. I've only seen 3 including thus one. The other 2 went for stupid money? This one was $20.50. It was shipped on the 22nd of December. I got it on the 14th of January. I was so worried it would get lost. Please let me know what you think.

Congrats, those can be super tough, some players seem to be plentiful and others never see the light of day. I pulled an edgardo alfonzo back in the day, thought it was the coolest

Love stories like this! Been there myself many times and nothing quite like landing a card after so many years. Congrats!

Awesome!! What's the story behind those cards?

As you can tell from the scan of the back, they were contest cards. They were parallels to the 1999 and 2000 Topps sets and if I recall correctly the stated print run was 100. Being inserted in base Topps 20+ years ago with that print run, plus the fact that some people may have not noticed the MVP stamp and skipped right by them, tossing them in a box or the trash, they can be pretty tough to locate.

Sweet pickup! I'm still missing many A's from those sets.
