You have a great 90's insert tutorial going here. I love it!!! do you take requests?
The toughest 90's parallel sets for me to wrap my mind around are the 98 leaf fractal matrix/materials sets. Do you have any griffeys? I have read the baseballcardpedia page, but do you have any insight on the different materials cards and how sought after they might be?

pulling an elite from a pack was little more than a dream to me. I am sure if I was ever going to pull one it would have been an 91 drabek. I remember a friend of mine actually pulled the sandburg auto out of a pack in 91. he promptly put it in a one inch screw down and i am sure he really cranked those screws tight, you know, for safe keeping. I lusted after that card, but he would not trade.
