Summer Of Wes Card #63

Let's Talk About Sets Volume 44

Let's talk about sets baby...talk about them with me...lets talk about all of my needs...lets talk about sets....

Sets talk has arrived and has a new twist you can say. I will be using my sets talk platform for Set Help. Ever since I started posting my set needs instead of just letting them sit on the blog, I have had some minor help and at this point, any minor help is huge.

Today I grabbed three sets from 1996 that I need help with.

First up, die cut jersey from 1996 Pinnacle. I am a big die cut fan and think this card looks amazing,

The second set is a follow up set to the 1995 Summit Ground Zero which is the 1996 edition. As most of my readers know, I am deep in chasing the 1995 edition which may be my all time favorite parallel-sorry refractors- and have really gotten it way under 100 left to go for that set. Only made sense that I chased the next best thing the following year that I have just gotten off the ground in chasing,

However if you have any of the 1995 ones, see if I need them please!!

 

The final set we are looking at today is 1996 Collectors Choice MVP silver. I am so close to having this one I can feel like an MVP soon.

MVP Gold

We are actually closing in on the end of the Hampton posts or at least the ones I needed catching up on.

Today we travel back to 1996 to a simpler time in the hobby. Back to when the inserts were actually valuable and it wasn't all about big money hits. Back when pulling a big name player of an insert from Collectors Choice meant something.

To me, I still think of the hobby that way when I buy the 90's stuff. If I beat the box odds and pulled an Emmitt Smith of today's 1:35 pack pull card, I would be super stoked. It doesn't need to be signed or have a patch.

Which is why I am so happy when I get to add a tougher to pull card that averages one per box to my PC. I was also a huge fan of these foiled inserts that fell one-per-pack for the regular issue back then.
I have the regular Hampton, now I have the tougher gold thanks to Jammin JD Sport Cards.

 

The only difference between this card and it's base version, this one has gold foil instead of silver. 

Another Hampton down and still more than 50% to go!
