The Most Valuable Baseball Cards From 1995-1999 

Yeah me too, my interesting was diminishing I think I got my last card set in 2000

i dont mean to be so off topic but does anybody know of a way to log back into an instagram account?? I stupidly lost the account password. I would love any tricks you can offer me.

@Leroy Billy Instablaster :)

Very good catch... I totally overlooked that.

I make plenty of mistakes so I am used to admitting them :)

Hey Ben, I was wondering why a 98 Longevity sold for so much. Good info

@@tampahomeinvestorsllc7559 Longevities are serial numbered to 50. But the first card serial numbered is actually a 1/1 and it has a different finish than the other 49.

Very cool! Nothing better than sitting down with a recent haul purchase. Good luck finding some gems in there!

Appreciate you watching! I actually know very little about those. I'll look into it and see if there is any useful info about them...

Baseball Card Collector Investor Dealer That would be cool. For reference, these are the cards that surrounded the 1990 Topps Frank Thomas NNOF and are far more rare. I think the most common cards in that group have 6 or 7 known specimens.

Thats insane... you're right there is very little info on them. I reached out to a few dealer friends to see if anyone knows their back story...

I totally agree. The monopolies on card companies today hurts the hobby as a whole.

I use a couple of sites, mostly on these videos I used vintagecardprices.com. They are great but require a subscription (around $120 per year)

Same here... Bowman had such a stranglehold on Rookies these years, thats its cool to see someone like Ortiz have a RC from another brand

That is awesome to hear! I really first got heavy into cards in the 1990s, so these years have a lot of personal attachment for me. I think the 90s was a very creative time for the hobby in terms of design and card concepts, a lot of cool stuff.

@@collectorinvestordealer I completely agree. I just had this conversation with someone the other day. We were both missing some of the creative inserts from those years. Some of those were just brilliant. The crazy thing is, it was just one or two people coming up with the designs sometimes. There's another YT Chan that has had the husband and wife team that designed the PMG's and a lot of the iconic inserts from the 90's. I figured it was a bunch of people around a big table with well thought out plans. Come to find out it was more of a "throw it and see what sticks" mentality.

Oh wow thats fascinating, I had no idea and had never really even thought about it... I would have assumed they had a large team of designers...

@@collectorinvestordealer Same here. It was a husband and wife team who pieced together randomly all these iconic inserts. I would never promote another RU-vidr on your channel, but look it into it, it's worth it. They've had her on two times for a total of about 3 hours talking about all the insider information and how everything was done back then, it's fascinating.

Ah that is cool, I will definitely check it out. Really appreciate the info.

Even the bad players go for a lot as a 10 refractor from that year. Its pretty amazing, but I am guessing there are a couple people trying to complete sets.

This is so true. A lot of these sales would pale in comparison to the Jordan equivalent

I remember seeing the MJ in either a BGS 9 or BGS 8.5 sell for $50,000 a few years back. Obviously, it would go for much more if auctioned today.

Yeah but it's pretty cardboard

Nice! You can pull some cool inserts out of there

If they are still factory sealed, I personally would probably leave them sealed.

Parallels of Griffey and Jeter from the 1990s are generally going to be worth getting graded, assuming they would grade 9 or 10. There might be a few exceptions. Feel free to shoot me an email if you want me to advise on a specific card. sewallsportscards@gmail.com

Iagree

Congrats on those! I would say if they look way over-graded, it might make sense to leave as is in the KSA holder. If they look graded about, I would cross them over to PSA.

@@collectorinvestordealer Thanks!!

I have never seen one, and I believe theres only been a handful ever confirmed to exist. There wouldnt be prices on them because there is no sales data.

@@collectorinvestordealer Thank you for the reply. I'm a new subscriber and I love your top most valuable series. I have access to a massive 80s & 90s collection and have been buying sets at great prices.

You can email me at sewallsportscards@gmail.com

Ah thats super interesting, I had no idea. Makes sense.
