1995 Score Platinum complete set

You will not believe the latest purchase I just got! As you guys know, I like collecting 1990s sets as well as 1970s, and I have many fond memories of 1994 Score and in particular Gold Rush. This seller had both the 1995 and then the 1994 Score Gold Rush sets, but I just missed both (and the 1994 Score Gold Rush is one of my favorites). Well, it just so happened that he also had the ultra rare 1995 Score Platinum set. How rare you might ask? Well, the only way you could get them is to collect all the Gold Rush cards (in either Series 1 or 2) of a team and redeem them along with the exchange card (which allowed up to four team set exchanges per redemption card). Plus they only made 4950 of each team (and not all were redeemed), so needless to say I'm quite stoked to have taken advantage of what is probably literally a once in a lifetime opprotunity!

I just hope $60 wasn't too much.

PS: I still have some more money coming next week or so if anyone here has a 1994 Score Gold Rush complete set looking for a good home.

That actually is a very tough set and a great buy. I would've paid up to $100 for it had I seen it.

Shouldn't be too tough. The individual team sets are a lot easier to come by.

FOX NEWS ALERT!!

I just got my set a couple days back and I've got to tell you it's the most beautiful set I've ever seen with my own eyes. Believe me, scans and pics would never do it justice. I would definetly say it's $60 very well spent indeed.

Congrats. Nice pick up.

Very nice pickup. I have a box of oddball stuff I traded a bunch of NASCAR diecast for. I really lke the platinum and gold and just figured a full set was too much work. Great buy. Grats.

Agreed. A guy can do very well picking up clean parallel sets and grading out the stars/semi stars. Even though the OP doesn't plan to do this it's still one hell of a buy for that price.

Very nice pickup. I never even knew that parallel existed

I still can't figure out why my 1994 UD Electric Diamond set only sold for $26. It is a pretty difficult set to put together.

Congrats.

Those, along with cards 599-612ish are the team checklist cards. They were not made in platinum form. I also should ask if the seller still has those certificate of authenticity cards that came with the team sets too.

And I thought scoring that 1993 Finest jumbo All-Stars set plus the three card 1993 Finest promo set for $180 was great.

Great buy, well worth eating Ramen noodles in front of the cableless TV rather than..............eh nevermind. Nice cards.

No way, I'm a SET collector and there will definetly be no breakup of this one. I don't care if someone offered $300; I'm not letting this set go. And let's just say while my main focus will still be getting those PSA 7 1970s cards (especially my new 1971 and 1972 projects), I'm now even more hungry for other parallel 1990s sets. For example, the 1994 Score Gold Rush set (and the Gold Rush R/T set); I LOVED those cards when I used to buy the packs new back in 1994 (I don't think I ever pulled anyone good though). I also want to try to get the 1992 Leaf Black Gold set (and with the landmark 1990 Leaf set being so affordable nowadays, there'd be no excuse not to do a nice Leaf set run) and maybe even those 1994-95 Pinnacle Museum Collection sets.

But above all else, my all-time favorite parallel series is the 1995-present? Ultra Gold Medallion sets. I got the 1995 one but that's it. I hope to at least get 1996-98.

I want that set too! That also was a fantastic set and since I already got 1989-93 UD (I still want the gold hologram 1993 set though), why not continue the run with the parallel set (as opposed to the standard issue set) if you can get them much more affordably nowadays?

The trick though is just waiting for the sets to show up at all.
