I had previously shown the team set for the Phillies that I picked up from this set. It seemed to be a very popular set out of the gate but the prices have settled a bit. If I remember correctly the Luis Robert base card was pushing 200 now I've seen it go for 50-60. (I have not bought it). I was able to pick up 1 Phillies base refractor. These were 1 per box. I know they had colored refractors too but the original 93 set only had base and I feel that's more of a true flashback.
Pretty shiny. Let's see how the scan compares to the original.
This one above is from 2013 Topps Finest. This is the base version. I have the refractor version numbered out of 25 just can't locate the scan at the moment.
Thanks for reading! I hope there is baseball soon!
Such an iconic set, I love the original. But I wish card companies would limit themselves to a single reprinting of a design at most. Lazy and money grubbing!
ReplyDeleteI've never owned a '93 Finest refractor (even the commons seemed out of my budget) so I'm very impressed you have a team set. The recreation is very nice but the player names are a bit too big.
ReplyDeleteIt took a while to get the team set together. The Daulton was the last one. I got super lucky on the Schilling cause it was listed on ebay wrong so barely anyone bid.
