1993 Finest #98 Don Mattingly AS SGC 96

I couldn't wait to get this card in the mail.  1993 Finest #98 Don Mattingly AS.  Got it off of eBay for $5.83 shipped.  Great deal in my opinion.  This is one of my favorite sets of all time.  I'm not a big fan of SGC especially for more modern cards but I just couldn't pass it up.

1996 Ultra Hitting Machines #2 Barry Bonds

Another card from another great 90's insert set.  Back when card companies actually thought about design instead of just serial numbers and game used pieces.  I bought the complete set off eBay about 7 years ago.  This die-cut card is so easy chip corners.  1996 Ultra Hitting Machines #2 Barry Bonds.

Just got these back from Beckett grading - Brett, Mattingly, Longoria, Price

Got in on a group BGS submission with FreedomCardboard.com.  If you haven't tried it you should.  A great price that I haven't been able to find anywhere else.  I just got these back.  A little disappointed in the Mattingly and Price cards but still not too bad.
