Very interesting video fellas even for people like me who don’t collect anything post-1979. Great show

I’m in the same boat TJ, but it’s fun to learn. And I also want to have a better appreciation when others pick up 90’s cards, so I can share in their enjoyment!

Good stream. Thanks guys. Griffey Jr. Jeter and Maddux would probably be the main guys I would collect if I were to just focus on the '90s decade. They have so many cards that range from a dollar to well into the thousands of dollars, but there's a bit of something for everyone. Since I am in my 30's- some of the players of that time period do resonate with me for nostalgic reasons though, so I could see myself potentially going down this rabbit hole in the future. But great conversation. Appreciate your insights and sharing some of your knowledge.

Yeah these guys are so knowledgeable! I’m the same age range, so these are the players of my childhood. Thanks for watching and commenting Andrew!

Listened to the whole thing guys, awesome awesome awesome. I thought the same thing at the National last year - where are the 90s and 2000s cards??

Thanks for watching Adam! Yeah, seems like a big gap in the industry right now and someone could specialize in it and make a lot of money! Seems like they would have to do some work to find collections though.

I could tell you everything you don’t know about 90’s cards. It’s the most wonderful era of collecting for my taste! You would have to take a semester long college course to even know how to approach 90’s cards. I’m still learning. The JM collection is legendary, if you know then you know. Way off on McGwire prices, he sells for more than Thomas and Maddux. Also Bonds commonly sell for more than Jeter and vice versa. It makes sense the 93 finest refractor of Ryan is the highest price card in the set, that’s his most desirable playing days card aside from his rookie and his only refractor. Preach on Brian on card grading, I totally am there with you!

Thanks for correcting me with some of those prices, Nate! Yeah, Bonds often has higher prices than Jeter depending on the set. And in general, hitters command a premium over pitchers, so that feels right for Thomas and McGwire to outsell Maddux. I tend to wear blinders when it comes to Maddux cards so my tunnel vision may be obscuring my idea of relative value of players in comparison to Maddux. Over the summer, I would like to go through the JM collection Bonds Error Card Binder with video rolling and completely blow KZitem’s collective mind! 😂 I’ll also probably interview my dad to get his thought on being a 35 year Bonds supercollector.

Hi about the 97 finest gold refractors there were also a lot that got backdoored through the years too. Thats why it is starting to feel like the silvers are so hard to find when you factor in the pack rarity flip that you guys talked about!

I don’t consider myself a collector of any era. I am a 90’s insert collector as a side effect of being an Ozzie Smith playing days super collector. From my experience 1996 is when it got crazy. Over half of my missing cards are from that year alone. They did make some great cards during those years.

Agreed! In my head, I separate the 90s era into 2 parts, generally 91-95 and then 96-99. 96 marked the first time the companies were going HARD with some of the more limited releases (select certified mirrors, circa raves /150, etc.) The number of issues for each player also kept exploding year by year too. It can absolutely be overwhelming. Acquiring all Ozzie Smith cards in the 80s would be a challenging but doable feat. Acquiring all Greg Maddux cards from the 90s is literally impossible. So, we adjust accordingly by prioritizing what is most important to each of us.

@@HighPopProfessor I know what you mean. From the 80’s I’m missing 5 cards. From the 90’s I’m missing 44 cards (25 from 1996). For player collectors that encompass the whole decade and beyond I like some of the approaches people have taken with specific inserts, numbered cards, etc. like splendid sports and his Pedro collection.

Totally get it! As a player collector, you kind of turn into a certain collector chasing there cards! And in turn might fall in love with a type of card you didn’t expect! I didn’t expect I’d like bazooka cards as much as I do now! Thanks for watching!!! 😊

With the Hitting machines ultra '96 gold medallions, the odds are completely real, but two factors also do cause the cards to pop up on eBay frequently: A few a backdoored specimens, and the fact that the cards are so 'liquid' and can change hands for cash so quickly.

The Pinnacle card company really pushed the limit on the high level of insert quality and rarity in the late '90's. Don't forget they owned and created all of Donruss's inserts from '97 and 98. Those precious metals, Fractal matrix, and Die cut fan club /250 AND THE CRUSADES WERE DEVELOPED AND PRINTED BY PINNACLE! You guys didn't mention The 1997 Score Hobby Reserve Reserve Collections and the 1 of 11 pack odds of getting them, which is just not true unless the number of cases made was super low, or Rather GUARANTEED SCARCE! NO mention of 1997 Pinnacle or New Pinnacle Press Plates either. Those are awesome as well especially the fist one of one's...the Press Plate Previews! Thankfully those don't brick lol! And I think the 1997 Pinnacle TOTALLY certified cards need to be brought up more often as well! Great Video and very intelligent and pragmatic look at our favorite insert era!!!
