I need that Larkin. If you want to avoid listing it, please hit me up. It needs to come home to be with its brother.

The amount of 90's beauties you post have me believing that you must run a very successful OnlyFans page, lol.

Great card.

Very happy to find a "backup" copy of this card.

Beautiful Chirography.

Two new Larkins showed up today!

The first gets me oh so close to completing the 1993-1999 Finest run. I'll probably make a whole thread when that project gets done. But here it is, the 1999 Finest Gold Refractor /100.



And the other is the 1994 Superstar Sampler unopened pack.

Included in each 1994 Topps "Baker's Dozen" factory set, was a cello-wrapped three-card "sampler" of a MLB player. Each player is represented by his 1994 Bowman, Finest, and Stadium Club cards. These cards are identical to their regular issue counterparts except for a special "Topps Superstar Sampler" emblem on their backs.

My wife also had these show up today for her Rockies collection!

As I'm obsessed with Crusades, I might have had a hand in her getting these.

These are the executive samples. I would love to track the Larkins down someday.

The other cards on this page are awesome but those Crusades!

Hey - I recognize those! I see now your Facebook photo is a reds logo, nice to put two and two together. Hope your wife enjoys 'em!

You going for the full finest run of base + parallel refractors only or are you including any insert refractors in that run?

Are you K.J.? If so, thanks for the smooth transaction. She loves them!

I am going for the base and any variants of the base. Not any inserts. For Larkin, that is 30 total cards. 2 in 93, 3 in 94 including the Superstar Sampler, 2 in 95, 6 in 96 (Larkin curiously has 2 bronze cards and 1 silver, but no gold), 10 in 97 (as he has all 3 bronze, silver, and gold, as well as silver and gold embossed), 4 in 98 (both base and refractor having a dual sided version), and 3 in 99.

Larkin isn't in a lot of the Finest inserts, but now that you have me thinking, I might look into adding any of those as well.

Edit: I just looked at checklists. It appears Larkin isn't in a single Finest insert set from 93-99, so when I finish the base/refractor run, I'll be done with the inserts, too.

That’s me! I’m hoping the card I was fundraising for arrives today - I’ll make sure to send you a photo once I have it as I think you’ll appreciate it, and given your wife’s allegiance to the Rockies, I know she will!

$25k for a Ray Durham? I mean, I know PMGs are condition sensitive, but holy crap!

Lucky you. I have been trying to put the base Frank 93-99 refractor run for a decade and I'm still 3 cards short. I feel like the 98 Atomic and 99 BC Gold are within reach, but I'll likely never lay hands on a 98 BC Gold. Wish I would have done a little more research before starting this quest.

But since you've brought it up, I believe I'm done with the 93-99 Finest run. Looks like a photoshop session is in order.
