I was in my first year of college when the 1993 SP baseball product came out. I saw these at my local shop and really wanted some. Didn't have much money but I did have a bunch of things I no longer needed. I remember gathering together some things likes CD's (even a Vanilla Ice CD) and other misc stuff from the garage. Took them all to the pawn shop and sold them. Went to the card shop and got me a bunch of packs. Opened them up and man was I excited. I pulled a bunch of great cards including the Derek Jeter # 297 foil card. I am not even a Yankee fan and hadn't really heard of Derek Jeter but I loved the card anyway. Wasn't worth much then but I kept it since I didn't trade or sell my cards until a couple of years ago. Today I am a huge Jeter fan so I am really glad I pulled his best rookie card. Great guy and future Hall of Famer.
