Saturday's In The 90's:Rubies

Girls are known to like Diamonds, but I think guys, especially ones from the 90's like Rubies.

Just so nobody gets offended, this doesn't mean that guys can't like Diamonds or girls can't like rubies.

Now that I covered that, let's see my latest add.

Skybox Rubies parallels especially from 1998, were not easy pulls at all. I never packed pulled one in my life. There are no given odds on these cards, but Cards 1-210 are numbered to 50, and cards 211-250 are numbered to just 35.

When I saw that Burbank Sportscards Beckett Marketplace had one of a Giant and that it was one of my Top 5 favorite Giants players, I had to grab it. I also saved 10% by using code 15Burbank at checkout.

 

The back of the card with the numbering to 50.

This is the second rare 90's insert I have added of Way, but my first Rubies card of any Giants and only my second Rubies card in my collection.

Sunday's With Rodney:1996 Skybox Premium Rubies

Boy, I just realzied how far I am actually behind on posting some new additions to my Hampton PC that I got months ago from a trade with 90's Niche Football Card Blog.

So for the next few Sunday's I will be trying to post these up and showcase them. Today's was one of the cooler parallels in the 90's. The 1996 Skybox Premium Rubies kicked off what was an epic parallel a year later and a tough pull.

This one isn't numbered or that spectacular as the only thing that separates it from base is the "ruby" colored name and product name, but it does mark my first of this parallel in general.

1996 Skybox Rubies fell at a rate of 1 per hobby box.
