Underrated modern set....

I just busted a case of 1994 Pinnacle series 2 and I really like the Museum parallel set. I got around 100 of them in the case and am going to send these 6 off to PSA because they could all be 10s- (Derrek Lee RC, Bagwell, Delgado, Gonzalez, Pedro, and Canseco). It's really a fun parallel set and not expensive at all. I think I'll try and put one together. I also pulled a couple "Tribute" complete sets, a near set of Team Pinnacle, 15 Artist's Proofs (Canseco being the only star) and a super rare Carlos Delgado Super Rookie insert seeded at 1:360 that sells for about $1 on ebay. Plus about 20 complete series 2 sets if I ever had the time to put them together. Everything is for sale except the museums.

  • Lee, you've inspired me. I was 13 when these came out.
  • That stuff was really expensive when new. It was about $115 per box at Walmart.
    Kinda funny story about the product. No, I promise it wasn't me. I knew a guy who bought a ton of the boxes at all the Sam's Clubs in the area, @$45 per. He drove up and down the Texas Coast returning them to Walmarts for $115 in store credit.

    Hey Lee
    I am also putting the museum set together. Im doing it slowly because I am only buying them if I get them real cheap. I have about 150 different now. Only a couple of dups but you are welcome to them if you want them. They are probably series one. They really are a fun set to put together. Be warned that you dont let any of them where it is too extreme of cold or heat because the dufex will peel right off the cards.

  • Barry,

    I am saddened and shocked that you didn't offer any to little ol' me.

    Well, I certainly would have but I thought maybe 1994 was after your time image

    Barry, thanks for the tip on the dufex. I've been able to pick up a few mixed lots of 94 Museum on ebay for around .25/card, which outs the set at around $140 if I can get the whole thing that way. I doubt a complete set will show itself on ebay, but I bet it would command a premium if it did. PM me and let me know what doubles you have and I'll send an equal number back to you.

  • Ah, I was just barely a teenager back then. I don't mind a little modern, now and again. Give me a little credit...

  • I like the 1998 Pinnacle Mint set in which you also received a coin with the cards. Do you remember how high some of those coins were going for. An outrageous amount.
  • I absolutely remember those 98 mint sets .
    I have a ton of them .
    For some strange reason though, I can't find what I did with all the coins , the only one I can find is the Dan Marino .

    How about the Motion Vision cards , does anyone collect those ?
    I have a ton of those too .
    I thought those were the coolest cards of all time, Like watching a 2 second clip on the cards .
    Damn , now I have to go dig them up , I may as well see if I can find the coins too, The cards I have hanging on my wall in binder sheets.

    Pinnacle had some fantastic parallels in the mid to late 90s. I particularly like the 1996 set.

    Good luck with your project!

    Here are some good examples of the regular card and Museum Collection parallel.

    I collect that set too; well, if you count opening a factory and update set and putting it into an album collecting it. image

    BTW, does anyone here have a spare copy of the 1986 Fleer Update checklist? The Update set I got was missing it for some reason (I didn't send it back because the Bonds RC was pretty nice).
