If you didn't see my post a few months ago, I FINALLY landed a card for my PC that I searched endlessly for 15 years to find. The 1997 Topps Finest Jose Cruz, Jr. Die Cast Embossed Refractor RC is a tough pull at 1:1200 packs (or 1:30,000 packs to pull the specific card from the 25 card gold set).

Decided to get it slabbed to have it protected. The grade was just a bonus

Here come the stall dots...

I showed this on Blowoutcards and one of the guys there who is collecting the set said he thinks there are less than 30 copies and there's a rabid group putting sets together. Glad I got mine

Congrats on landing a 15 year whale Ryan. Looks sweet slabbed up with a 9.5 too.
