At the time of production Pacific was an after thought so people forgot about these. Now they have become highly desirable chase cards for player collectors. Some of the earlier versions can fetch well north of $100.Unfortunately the Pirates stunk around the time these cards were being produced so I don't have much to chase. To join in on the fun I have to rely on the modern doppelganger.

Say what you want about this card, but its unique. I was happy to add it for around $10. I feel sorry for Griffey and Jeter collectors. All the fun cards are just so damn expensive for them. Seriously if you get time just look at completed auctions for Griffey and Jeter inserts from the late 90's.
Thanks for reading!
I've said it before and I'll say it again: Pacific rules!
ReplyDeleteAgreed. I feel like I have a post a month totally dedicated to Pacific.
DeleteThose are definitely unique.
ReplyDeleteYeah, Pacific had some of the more unique offerings ever created.
DeleteI wasn't a huge fan of Pacific... but I have picked up a few Cramer's Choice jumbos when I can find affordable copies. Looks like you got a pretty solid deal on a Geno #'d to 5 autograph. Congratulations!
ReplyDeletePacific was a necessary evil when I was young. The packs were so affordable that I could often double up.
DeleteThat's a sweet deal for around $10 bucks. Really sharp looking card.
ReplyDeleteI bought a lot of Pacific back in the day, but it was all hockey. I dont even know if there were Cramer's Choice inserts in Pacific hockey products, cause I never pulled one.
I don't recall seeing them in hockey either. I know they were in football in baseball.
