As many of you know, I am a BIG 90's collector. Other than chasing down unique inserts and base cards, I collect certain sets that I used to have. Yes, used to have making them my Ex. Now you get the post title :)
One of those sets was Ex2000 which to this day may be some of the greatest base cards ever created. The acetate back ground, the full blown color and shininess gives it quite an edge over other base cards. I am sure you will agree.
Up first the main rookie card of the set and the first card in the set, Jake Plummer.
I love how they did the back of the card as its the mirror of the front. So cool.
Another key rookie in the set, Warrick Dunn. This was also the season that Tampa switched to the much cooler uni's and helmets and got rid of the creamscicle ones.
2 Giants PC cards as well. This is a Hilliard rookie.
I had been trying for two years to add this to my PC. The problem was the price people were asking for it. I felt it was too steep. So when I stumbled on the set finding it on sale for $10, it was a no-brainer that I needed to buy or I would lose out.
Now to try and get the baseball and basketball versions!
What are your thoughts on Ex? Do you own any of the cards? Sets?
Love this set. Still have a sealed box of this stuff sitting in my parent's garage. One of these days I'll bust it open.
ReplyDeleteI love this set, too. Let me know what baseball you need, as I have pretty good partial set that I don't plan on completing. I'll just hold onto my PC guys and the rest is up for trade.
