98/99 StarQuest Gold

Hi.

Ive seen some interest for these here on the forum, one of Jagr just ended on EBay;

Shows that some 90s cards still are worth something. I was miles away from bidding on that card.

starquest gold are huge, someone posted a jagr one recently though, and the dumb seller put 98-99 UD Choice Jaromir Jagr Rainbow, and didnt mention there was a gold in the title, and someone got the blue, red, green and gold for 25$ + shipping, HUGE steal

90s stuff can be funny. No the base, rookies, etc are not worth much anymore..... but there are a lot of inserts / parallels with low print runs that will sell for big bucks. bet a Jagr Totally Certified Mirror Platinum Gold would out sell that one :)

I was watching that too Christian, and I was only $30 short of paypal on bidding for it! Otherwise that baby was mine! I was going to pop a $250 in at the end to snag it, but the bids kept going up! :(

I know of one of the bidders, and he has an impressive Jagr collection, but he fell short at the end for this. He finished third.

It amazes me sometimes which insert sets from the 90s, and even some parallels, hold a ton of value. It's weird thinking it's numbered /100 and worth so much considering what some other sets numbered /100 are worth, but when you look at how much of this was released and how much still sits unopened it makes a little more sense.
It's funny that the 98-99 UD Choice Starquest Gold set gets so much attention considering it's an otherwise valueless set.

wow. You were actually in that race. I could maybe afford a corner or two of that card ;). I feel that hobby are running a little wild these days, people are overpaying for cards. A low budget collector as me dont stand a chance against big sharks. But I guess that means that I have to be clever and use a lot of time on this hobby, which I really like.

Hope everything is good with you, Brian. And that your PCs grows. Do you have the Palffy CvstW International Jersey Black?

Yeah /100 though doesnt mean much for this. This sounds rediculous but ive broken the 40 box barrier now since they showed up at wal mart for 8$ and havent hit one. 40 boxes over past 3 months and nothing gold and shiny for me. This product was so mass produced that even though there were 3000 total of these gold's, they were still 1 in every 15-20 cases apparently, and the trouble im having trying to find one, I believe it for sure
