My locas LCS has a few that he has in his PC, as a Griffey collector I cringe at what I could potentially have to spend on one of these.

Started my 90's insert collection over the weekend by picking up a few boxes of Flair baseball for the "Hot Glove" insert chase. Sadly, I'm the type of collector that prefers to pack pull his grails, so I can only imagine how expensive this will be.

Right now I have the following as potential "Honey, I think I'll spend my bonus on this baseball card" wish-list .

1. 1998 Metal Universe
2. 1996 Topps Chrome
3. 1992 Donruss Elite
4. 1998 Donruss Crusae (Both Griffey Jr. & Ortiz)
5. 1999 Flair Brilliance

Anyone win any of the Maddux inserts ending last night? I...was not close to winning.

SleepyWill · 11-21-2022, 01:04 PM

Also, I'm sort of shocked that there isn't more love for the early autographs that certain sets brought.

i.e. 95 Upper Deck Series 2 Willie Mays, 92 Score "The Franchise" Mickey, Stan, and Carl, Find the Hank;Nolan;Ted.

The 95 Willie for me at least is a beautiful card.

Was watching the 24Kt gold, and threw a few numbers out there.

Wish I had put in a bid on the 24kt. Went out and got smashed instead and forgot

A huge bummer because we all know that card probably wont be seen for another 5 years.

I love busting late 90's wax, but just be aware that, in addition to the long pack odds, you'll run into bricking issues too

That was a solid price - really wasn’t sure what to expect but clearly the market has moved on these quite a bit (I sold a second Piazza I had for $600 in 2021!!) These cards are amazing in hand. Congrats to the buyer and seller!

This was a redemption from 1998 Upper Deck SP Authentic. I pulled this at my LCS and waited about 3 months. Super nice foil...and i still have it

100% aware of that. . .

Recent Boston show picked up a good amount of Bowman's Best & 94' Series 1 and ran into about entire boxes being bricked.

someone just got a nasty steal on an andruw jones team certified mirror gold /25. i hit BIN immediately it was already gone lol

caster513 · 11-22-2022, 07:58 PM

Some great 90's cards posted up in here recently. Couple recent pickups for my set collections.

I also joined the disappointment in the checkout menu!

I was curious and contacted the seller. He said the card sold in shop and knew it was a /25 card. Not sure how that correlates with a 1 minute listing?

How hard is the PMG set to collect?

Starting out new right now id say close to impossible unless you have like 220k to just buy it as someone was selling a complete set.

I saw you only wanted to pull your grails so you will have 0
To 1 grails lol. 90s boxes besides being impossible to find and definitely not usually in quantity are close to impossible to pull anything of substance out of.

I open as much as anyone id say and its extremely hit or miss unless you get lucky and find say 4-10 box lots of stuff then you have a chance at at least a decent insert

Once it's uploaded to imgur, click "Edit Image" and resize it to be roughly 800x600 pixels (otherwise the image will be way too HUGE when you post it). Then click "Get Share Links", and copy the "BBCode (Forums)" url. Paste that url into a thread.
