The Cramers Choice - is that the normal sized card or the larger card ?
Will need to check the College card site. One of my favorites was the D. Brooks 95 Classic Printers Proof Die Cut cards /97.

It is a giant card, haha.
5x7
I didn’t realize it was until I opened the package today, haha

I love that Momentum Barry posted above, where did that come from?

It’s endzone xpress from 1998 momentum A 1:18 Pack insert set. The retail version isn’t die cut.
That particular one has the super bowl stamp which one had to stand in line and the nfl experience at the super bowl and open packs in front of a playoff rep. Collectors could do one card of their choice for every pack. Some reps let you do whatever playoff card from the set you were opening, other reps made you do a card you pulled in the pack you opened.

I've got one of those. I still need to get it shipped home from my COMC account. It's hard to believe this was considered a case hit in 1995.

Stifle · 11-02-2017, 11:00 PM

The Wild Card Stripes & Printers Proofs & Die Cuts were the first parallels I went out after in a big way. Think I have 3 or 4 of Ty Law and many more of Wheatley and Jenkins. Brooks, I have a few of.
Jeff - A mission to Mars may have been a easier quest than finding that two headed Unicorn. I'm glad for you !
The 5x7 Camers Choice cards of the 90's is by far my Favorite oversized card. Love the college uniform of K. Carter in 5x7 !

Very interesting! So there is no specific print run for these, just how many happened to get stamped by people in line.

A hobby only case hit too. /97 was a very low print in 1995! Lol

A handful of new additions after a few months of nothing:

1999 Pacific Omega Copper #239 Steve McNair

1999 Upper Deck Strike Force Quantum Silver #SF25 Steve McNair

1999 Topps Stadium Club Chrome First Day Issue #26 Steve McNair

1999 Topps MVP Promotion #159 Steve McNair*

1998 Pinnacle Mint Gold One-Of-One #19 Steve McNair

1998 Pinnacle Mint Gold One-Of-One #85 Steve McNair

2000 Collector's Edge T3 Leatherbacks #SM Steve McNair**

*Print run of 100, but McNair was one of the weekly winners, so among those not still remaining in sealed wax, some (many?) were redeemed for a prize set. Tough to find, certainly.

**Print run of 12, with the back of the card made from a game-used football. The only post-90s McNair that I've been looking for, and I'm happy to have it.

seth2720 · 11-08-2017, 03:38 PM

I totally forgot about those Edge Leather backs that were made. Such cool cards. So were the ones with the jerseys on the back. I didn't know the football ones were game used?

On information and belief, vets were from game-used balls, while rookies from the set were from balls used at the rookie premiere. Very happy for somebody who really knows these sort of things (ahem, marinocollector) to confirm or correct me.

AUTaxMan · 11-08-2017, 04:01 PM

How about some Frank Sanders:

twisty571 · 11-08-2017, 04:37 PM

haha 1st day issues. I remember hunting those down in the early 90's!

Great moment in Lions history right there

I remember trading for a Plaxico Burress jersey version back in 2000, man that was a HUGE card back then. I don't think it was game used, but it was a rare memorabilia card of a top rookie.

If you didn't pull Plaxico you really wanted that Chad Pennington. Unfortunately for me, 2000 was full of Trung Canidate and Sylvester Morris.

Don’t sleep on Ron Dayne

i pulled a Dayne topps Chrome rc right when the product was first priced in Beckett, set up at a show in Appleton, and sold it to a dealer before the show even started for full book- which was $250 at the time! Of course i stupidly took that money and put it back into boxes of topps chrome... d’oh!

Jhileman- Still a great find (5x7)! Cramers Choice in College uniform were the first cards to trump the rare 95-96 Classics cards and then came Elite in College Uniform!

Pazerbaijan- was lucky enough to locate a few of the Law /97 RC's as well as multiple Wheatley & Jenkins.

Seth2720- Those are so sweet and gaining collector strength, just wish they were in College Uni. I'm still holding onto my Amani Toomer cards.
