burbank sportscards..1996 ultra

Rogermnj · June 18, 2008 2:09AM

I saw some boxes i want from his ebay store but the prices seem a little high. Are they cheaper in the physical location?
I need a few 1996 ultra series 1 baseball boxes but $47.00 seems absurd.

btw: if anyone could find me a few boxes i will pay you a little finders fee. I want to pay $30per box. I feel like these should be $10boxes but dont really know.

Is that the series with the Ortiz RC? If so, that would explain the high price.

Rogermnj · June 18, 2008 2:22AM

ahhh, i could care less about ortiz. Damn, i hate trying to crack wax and having a card i could care less about driving up the price.

btw: how are you awake at 9:30am in vegas. Shouldnt you be slumped over a table somewhere doing shots with "friends"

CDsNuts · June 18, 2008 2:25AM

Nevermind, Ortiz is 97. No idea why 96 is so high.

I'm back from Vegas several dollars poorer than when I went there. Stupid Vegas.

blah, sorry to hear that. Godforbid you pick up the soft half a bagel while you were out there.

Translation: (Would have been nice to win 500k)

Did you see Javon Walker there??

CDsNuts · June 18, 2008 2:36AM

Sting- that's funny. Yesterday I sent my brother a text message saying that I got back to even, but I feel a little guilty about robbing Javon Walker.

I cannot believe you guys are hijacking my thread! No respect.. Must be the avatar

Those butterflies are pretty. Does your boyfriend collect baseball cards too?

Rogermnj · June 18, 2008 3:16AM

After the assault charges the judge made me go for sensitivity training... It's part of my therapy.

No rookie cards in that issue. The only thing of value would be the inserts for player collectors. I can't even get excited for that issue as I can't even remember if Puckett is even in there and none show up on the pop reports.

Tvac897 · June 18, 2008 11:29AM

Is it an ortiz?

Estil · June 19, 2008 8:43AM

I'd love to own the complete 1996 (and 1997, and 1998, and...) Ultra Gold Medallion set if one ever showed up for a reasonable price.

kingraider75 · June 19, 2008 3:03PM

Cheaper in the store??? Usually not. They look online for the prices before they sell. I have gotten the owner before, and maybe with cash you could knock off a little bit. But it's not going to be 25% off or anything. Considering gas prices, if you are not within a 15 minute drive, then don't bother.

Burbank Cards wants book for most everything in store or out of store. They have great selection and great organization.

BunchOBull · June 19, 2008 10:16PM

That '96 set is great. Roger, if you end up with a Frank Thomas HR Kings redemption, I'd be interested.

Plus, that's the best gold medalion base set Ultra ever created.

I don't know, I think it's kinda cool the way they did the gold "feelie" background from 1998 onward. And those diecut ones in 2000 totally rock.

I already got the 1995 GM set (not the inserts though; wouldn't that be awesome to also have all the GM inserts???) a little over a year or two ago; if only getting the other GM sets was that easy.

ajw · June 20, 2008 4:50AM

For anyone that's interested, here's a few cards from the set:

Estil · June 20, 2008 4:54AM

Care to go for the GM versions of the two insert cards? For 1995 and 1996 Ultra also did all the insert sets in GM form.

You can be sure I'll be bidding if/when they show up. If anyone has one, I'd love to see it!

BunchOBull · June 20, 2008 5:26AM

Pulled the redemption and got this in return as a kid:

I have a few of the promos of this card, but I really need the redemption card, the GM, and the GM redemption card. One of my favorite childhood inserts.

BunchOBull · June 20, 2008 5:29AM

I bought a box of '95 Leaf series 2 from cohocorp the other day...should have a fun rip in the comings days. Really hoping for a Heading for the Hall insert.
