Really liked this video. Blast from the past

@billthehofcollector4525 2 года назад

NOTHING touches the competition, creativity, and design of the mid-late 90’s. Best era, with many of the best players. Super underrated. Pick a player and collect! You won’t regret! I supercollect in this era. Sub and learn

@sebastienmillon6149 2 года назад

100%. A lot of non-kobe/mj hofers are great values imo

@christophertimmermans7788 2 года назад

@@sebastienmillon6149 Its the best. Back when I was very young I couldn’t afford Topps Finest and Chrome. These sets there is extreme value. Some are eager to get rid of them, others eager to buy and people who spent 8,10,12$ a pack in 94 kept them mint, they are a great flip. Some you probably won’t even need Ebay. Put a Topps Finest nba card in front of one of your buddies they’ll give you a few bucks for it lol.

Inserts in the 90s were as popular or even more popular than rookie cards. I LOVE 90s INSERTS!

@PatMcCarthy420 2 года назад

1997 was the pinnacle(no pun intended) of the hobby imo. So many new innovations that are staples in today's hobby. Imagine if Upper Deck never did jersey cards?

There was one of those UD Game Jersey Auto Michael Jordan cards from Upper Deck in 1997. Similar to the one that you showed from '98. One sold at Goldin Auctions in May for $2.05 Million! Check it out.

@cortlandlampe1983 7 месяцев назад

I think you're talking about the iconic 1997-98 Upper Deck Basketball Game Jersey inserts. At 1:2,500 pack odds, it was a tough pull for sure! I'm surprised Chris didn't mention those, because it includes the first Jordan jersey card AND the first Jordan autographed jersey card, which was serial numbered to only 23. The card features a piece of Jordan's 1992 NBA All Star jersey.

@tenclubcards 2 года назад

Amazing video to start the weekend off. Nothing beats 90s designs, inserts and parallels! The only correction I would make is the 1990 Score baseball set had the first die-cuts. My friends and I used to make them. Unfortunately PSA won't honor them as they keep coming back altered 😊

@hellocollegejason198 2 года назад

That griffey first jersey card is so damn good looking. I always liked any card that is printed on wood.

Definitely going to try an add the first serial numbered card and first jersey relics, as well as others that caught my eye, thanks

@montrealsports29 2 года назад

Working at a card store in the early to mid-'90s, I got so many free cards from customers who bought packs only to try to get the inserts because they didn't care at all about the regular cards. There were also several customers who knew which packs had the inserts based on the pack sequencing (especially for Fleer Ultra), so the owner of the store would mix up the order of the packs in the boxes to prevent people from picking out the packs with the inserts. I'm not too sure how a regular card of Dominik Hasek from 1994-95 Ultra snuck into your 1993 inserts, but that is just a base card from the set. It was a very interesting video with lots of cards that I had never seen before.

@heinzdelf 2 года назад

Great Video as always, please do more of these they are very fun, helpful and best of all bring back all the nostalgia and innocence of collecting. thank you 😊

@mattk1631 2 года назад

Love the 1996 Pinnacle Skylines cards to Chris. I was asking dealers at the National if they have any and all of them said "no" and a few looked at me like I had a horn coming out of my head.

Not only are you a GREAT storyteller, but the history and knowledge you pass down to new subs, old subs, loyal fans right down to the guy looking for something else and accidentally found your channel, is PRICELESS. I can't tell you how much I enjoy your videos. Keep them coming my friend.

@andrewburkett559 2 года назад

I was waiting a long time for you to do a 90's insert video, and it lived up to expectations 100%! There was so much creativity and innovation with those inserts, especially in the mid to late 90's and I don't think they get the recognition they deserve in today's market

@JunkWaxInvestor 2 года назад

For 1999, I think I saw one of those UD Retro Inkredible Wilt Chamberlain cards on one of your high rollers list a bunch of months back. Forgot what it went for but it was big bucks and introduced me to that awesome set with the Lvl 2 Autos that where numbered to the Jersey number. Such a cool idea. Awesome video!

@XZOL445 2 года назад

I remember those Wild Card cards. I think if you had sent that Favre in you would have gotten 1000 of his base card. 1000!!! I still think that's a cool concept.

@ACD1994 2 года назад

This is like a combination of, high rollers and regular rollers, the 90's edition. Good stuff. I wish I had some of these high end cards, though, maybe one day.

@michaelgolden4938 2 года назад

i just had a crazy (maybe not so crazy) vision. if the hobby is destined to expand the way some people are projecting, there may be a time when 'card collector/dealer/investor' becomes a legit field of study at the university level (much like someone can study personal finance to become a financial manager/stock broker). if so, they'll need professors. who'd be a better professor of cards than our man Chris.

@TheRealWarez 2 года назад

Once their is a numismatics (coins/currency) field of study at University's, it is possible. Highly unlikely, but possible. Numismatics would def come first... Much larger market than cards with a direct relation to historical events in human history.

I pulled a Triple Threads Yogi Bera Babe Ruth Lou Gherig triple Jersey patch card during early 2000s i think it was a fleer 2001 set iirc when I was like 12 a dealer at a card show offered me 400 for it back then but i declined. Unfortunately leaving things back at home doesn't always turn out well... maybe one day it will turn up.

@PhuryousOne 2 года назад

Nice vid. Brings back tons of memories. You probably could have done a 2-hour episode with this topic considering all the inserts back then and still only covered a fraction. It was a good time to be alive. lol Outside of refractors, I think my favorite insert from the 90's is the Jordan '93-'94 Fleer Ultra Scoring Kings. I liked the '92-'93 Topps Stadium Club Beam Team too. Also a fan of the early Topps Gallery of Heroes eventhough I wish they offered more/different players in those sets.

@fformentif 2 года назад

I have the Ray Allen Metal Platinum Portrait. It's beautiful indeed, late 90's inserts are the best. 24 years have gone since I've pulled it and I still enjoy it. Btw, It's a shame Ray's cards are so undervalued

@rsuriyop 2 года назад

Great short take on the history of sports insert cards. I hope that you can do one of these on oddball cards as there are a lot interesting ones out there as well.

@michaelgolden4938 2 года назад

also a really cool example of necessity being the mother of invention. the hobby shrinks, with many card manufacturers in the market, and they innovate with these parallels/inserts to grab as big a piece of the shrinking pie as possible. and now these parallels/inserts are the lifeblood of the modern card hobby.

@billschipper1718 Год назад

The 1993 refactors I remember were 20 dollars a pack if you could find one. Then only one refactor card per retail box. I saw a Nolan Ryan refactor going for 4500 dollars.

A lot of mid to late 90's cards were so well made. I remember the 1999 Gold Lable base cards feeling like the most expensive card compared to nowadays.

@ricecakejohnson 2 года назад

Love those insert years, each box you were guaranteed to pull a few inserts. It makes opening boxes a bit more fun knowing you had a decent chance of making money with the contents or at least break even. Unlike nowadays where you spend $1,500 on a box of Prizm, and 95% of the time you wont even get half of your money back.

Most of the cards I oooed and awwed over the most in this video were the cheapest ones lmao

@willg.2045 2 года назад

Great stuff! When I was collecting in the early 90s I was collecting Will Clark. In 1993 Donruss produced an Elite Signature Series Will Clark and, realizing I would never get that card and thus never be able to collect every single Will Clark card, my interest waned and I eventually moved away from sports cards. I came back around 1999, probably due to my interest in fantasy baseball, and the landscape was much different.

@candymanben494 2 года назад

Iirc, the Wildcard Football "stripe" concept was actually an EXCHANGE program where you could send that card into the factory and they would send you back that number of the base card. Most people sent theirs in to the manufacturer (I believe Pacific Trading out of Seattle?) to exchange so they'd get 1000 Brett Favre rookies instead of just one 1000-stripe card.
