Without wanting to read through 242 pages, can you tell me..

Has anyone put together a list of the "CLASSIC" 90s inserts/parallels?

If no one has yet, can you start naming them...

Man, i just started looking at that huge list...what would you say are the TOP 10 CLASSICS of those, assuming #1 classic is 1993 Finest Refractors.

 

[braves2008champs]

Oh Geez! That would be a fun thing to do... Would it be based on scarcity, design, originality, book value (even though we know that means crap), personal appeal, etc?

That being said, I would love to see lists from George_C, magicpapa, cobrasvt29, onionring and the other hardcore 90's collectors

A list of "Classics" would have to come from someone with more intuition in the card world.... Without thinking too hard about it my list of favorites <no order>

1993 Finest Refractor
1992 Donruss Elite
1996 Select Mirror Gold
1996 Leaf Limited Luberjacks Black
1997 Pinnacle Totally Certified Platinum Gold
1996 Zenith Diamond Club Parallel
1996 Studio Silver Press Proof
1997/1998 Precious Metals
1998 Quantum Leap
1997 Finest Gold Embossed Refractor


On a side note - it was A LOT harder to come up with that list then I thought

1999 Finest Gold Refractors

^ Great list

I left off auto'd/game used cards

I would have to include a few of these in my original list as well:

1994 Upper Deck Auto (Griffey/Mantle) - My vote for card of the decade
1997 Bowman Gold Ink auto
1997 Passing the Torch Dual Auto - My vote for insert set of the decade
1999 Upper Deck POH 500 Club
1997 SPx Bound for Glory Supreme Sigs
1997 Leaf Thomas Collection
1996 Leaf Signature Extended Century Marks Auto

Without rehashing the topic AGAIN, 1994 SP Holoview Reds have to be on any such list. Personally, I'd add 1998 Ultra platinum parallels to the list (#/98, IIRC). So pretty...

My favorites:

1993 Finest Refractors
1995 Bowman's Best Refractors
1997 Bowman Chrome International Refractors
1996 Bowman's Best Atomic Refractors
1997 Pinnacle Totally Certified Platinum Gold
1998 Donruss Crusades (all colors)
1997 Upper Deck Game Jerseys
1997 Donruss Signature Series Autographs
1991 Donruss Elite Signature Series
1999 Finest Gold Refractors

Great list. I would add 1996 Select Certified Mirror Red,Blue,and Gold and 1997 Finest Gold Embossed Refractor and that would be a top 12 list. IMO

 

[hofautos]

should we say top 20 to please everyone??

Like I said in my original post, what I listed were my favorites, not necessarily the favorites of others

 

[Brewer Andy]

My favorites:


1991 Donruss Elite Signature Series

Whats this? Wasn't that just 1 card?

 

[hofautos]

Where's magicpapas input? he has so many COLORS of the rainbow!

I guess by "Classic", I probably mean the ones that notoriously sell for more due to demand....

 

[brumbach]

My personal favorites in no particular order (and I consolidated some and cheated):

1993 Finest Refractors
1994 SP Red Holoviews
1998 Donruss Crusades
1997 SPx Grand Finale
1997 & 1998 Donruss Signature Autographs all flavors
1999 SP Signature Autographs (Gold or Base depending upon your budget)
1991-1996 Donruss Elite inserts
1996 Studio Silver Press Proofs
1994 & 1995 Pinnacle Artist's Proof
1999 Black Diamond Triples and Quads

Man, there are so many ways to do a list like this. I'll have to give it some thought.

 

[braves2008champs]

ttt for cbrandtw

 

[WoundedDuck]

even though the second post in this thread linked the insert list, I'm glad this thread was started because this is some info that I was looking for as well. Thanks the OP, 2nd poster for the link, and the original long list poster

 

[cbrandtw]

All GREAT cards but we all might want to re-evaluate our top 10 list when it comes to the best inserts of the 90's and place the 98 Crusades near the top of each of our list after the recent Griffey sale.

Mine might be (in no particular order):
1998 Crusades
1996 Select Mirrors
1993 Finest Refractors
1998 Quantum Leap
1996 Donruss Signature Century Marks
1994 SP Red Holoviews
1999 UD APOH 500 HR
1997/1998 Precious Metals
1998 Circa Super Rave
1997 Totally Certified Mirror Gold

I'm sure I'm missing an obvious one but these are some cards I want.

Thanks braves2008champs for the bump.

My thoughts are if you are going to do this it pretty much has to be rarity only.Looks are not a good thing to go by because they vary too much.
