Players to watch-Sean Casey RC #25($5). Matt Morris RC $2 Daryle Ward RC #425($1.50). S. Spencer RC/Ben Grieve #436($2).
This is a great Topps set. It contains many nice base cards and many RC's also. The Mickey Mantle card is great, and I really like the Topps white clean look. Sean Casey RC is highest. It also came with 4 nice Mantle reprint cards!
Players to watch-RC's-Mark Mulder #8($2.00), Corey Patterson #17($1.50), C.C. Sabathia #33($2), Sean Burroughs #40($2), Pat Burrell #44($1.25), Carlos Pena #46($1.50), Adam Dunn #50($8), Alfonso Soriano #65($2.50), Josh Hamilton #66($2.50).
Great looking set! The one big obvious flaw was the dented corners. Many cards had big dented corners. This set is full of rookies! You also get one autographed card.
Players to watch-RC's-Ken Griffey #41($15), Randy Johnson #57($2).
Another great Traded set. Has one of the 1989 Griffey rookies, which mine was graded a BGS 7. These cards are also very condition sensitive. You can get this set for a cheap price!
Players to watch-RC's-Gary Sheffield #1($1.25), Ken Griffey #3($15), Randy Johnson #43($3).
Another great short set! An extremly condition sensitive set, with some centering off, and always dented corners. My Griffey recieved a nice BGS 8, of course corners got a 7.5, too bad.
Players to watch-Ken Griffey RC #30($10)
A nice set! Has one of the best Griffey rookies, and the cheapest! Great design and colors. This set is really well under priced. Not many were produced. You can pick up one really cheap, and get one of Griffey's nicest rookies!
Just a small set, nothing special.
price-$30(I can't find current value for any of the cards!)
One of my favorite kinds of cards! I think Mint Collection were some of the best cards, but then Pinnacle went bankrupt. Mint Collection gave you a regular die-cut card, bronze, silver, or gold card, and two coins, either bronze, nickel-silver, solid silver, gold-plated, and the extremly rare 24K gold coin, odds were almost 1:40,000!! These cards and coins were classic and they aren't given enough attention!
price-$60
These cards were just like the die-cuts only the hole in the center of the card was replaced with bronze disc.
price-$60
These coins were cool! These aren't really cards, but they went with the theme of Mint Collection.
price-$30
Pinnacle came out with another great set. More colorful. Both were not big hits, but I liked them a lot!
Players to Watch for-RCs-Rick Ankiel #1($6), Pat Burrell #3($2), Eric Munson #4($1.50), Alfonso Soriano #5($3), Tim Hudson #6($3, Freddy Garcia #81($2), Byung-Hyun Kim #82 ($1.25), Wily Pena #83 ($2), Mark Quinn #121($1), Josh Beckett #122($8)
Only one of two Ankiel RCs, and Josh Beckett's RC. Terrific set for hard to find cheap RCs!
Players to watch-Mike Sweeney RC #492($1.50)
These were my first cards I ever collected. These cards got me into collecting. I love these cards! Sure there not that expensive, but they were nice, inexpensive cards, with many inserts.
players to watch-Brian Giles RC #206($5).
This was a great Finest set. I got this complete set, and I got several die-cuts, refractors, embossed, rares, silvers, and two of my best inserts, in only around 40 packs. The best parallels since 1993!
Players to watch-Manny Ramirez Rc #800($2.50), Cliff Floyd RC #801($1).
An ok large set with nice base cards and some bonus inserts.
A nice base set, but has a small RC selection like 1999. I got this whole set in one box! Cheap set, got many inserts!!
Finest had some great inserts in this Finest issue, but the base set had no RC's. A very nice set, that should be over $70. This is my second complete Finest set, and I hope to finish '99, and '00.
