Random Card Of The Day: Pinnacle Inside Cans 1997

Cards in a can you ask? Why yes... I know some people thought the innovations of the 90's were sometimes crazy and most didn't care for them. But what you gotta look at is the fact that this was a very popular era of collecting and one in which I joined the collecting world. This is an innovation I really enjoyed. I tried to chase down any of them I could find.

They did these cans for baseball (I have the set) , Football, WNBA. and hockey. The cans also came in gold parallel versions. The cards were unique inside with a variety of parallels and inserts. I wished some of the innovations like this would come back to now-a-days. The cans were only made in 1997-1998.

Random Card Of The Day: 1997 Leaf 8x10 Darrell Green Autograph Card

Still stunned I picked this bad boy HOF auto at a local card show we had here for only a $1. Not to mention, it was in a great condition. A lot of these autos from 1997 Leaf could be easily damaged on the corners because of their color scheme and the collector I bought this from didn't appear to have collected in years when I was discussing cards with him. He ended up having about 12 different of these autos all of which I bought. The last 8 I got for $5.

Whats the biggest "steal" you have ever gotten at a Card Show?

Random Card Of The Day: R.A. Dickey 1997 Bowman Rookie Card

 

 

R.A.

They have already gotten pitchers Mark Buehrle and Josh Johnson this offseason. If the Dickey deal goes through it would be hard not to see them as a front runner for the Wild Card if not a front runner in the AL East.
