What are considered the collectible non-numbered shinies from the mid-late 90s?

I know nothing about this period, other than some of these insert sets can be highly collectible.

I want to do up some scans, but I get the feeling that Rink Collections and such don't really fit the criteria. It seems like the chased sets are from Leaf and Donruss, and maybe some of the early Pacifics.

Can some of you vets chime in and help me decide what I should scan up for viewing/selling/trading?

I imagine these count as an example.

Not overly shiny, but Score Check-It Inserts... particularly 94-95.. have held their value very well.

In fact, if anyone has a 94-95 Check It Cam Neely and wants to move it, please drop me a line :)
 
I think anything acetate from that period.



Same with many die cut:





Various Ice Blue parallels from Pacific products:





I am sure Seth would be able to add a lot to this list. There are a number of cards that are also not SN but do have a set print run.
 
Donruss Preferred Precious Metals - I think they were stated to only have a print run of around 100, but I don't believe they are actually numbered on the card. Those tend to get pretty pricey whenever they hit the open market. And they are so nice to look at!
 
Some of the EPIX are VERY VERY tough to find...the (24) EPIX that were found in Certified (I believe) were all via Redemption's and are much shorter than the other 72 that are still in unopened product.

FYI - Those pacific Ice Blues...some are tough...other are very plentiful. :)

I have a full set of the 97-98 Pacific Ice Blue as well as many more Ice Blue and colored pacific sets...Thanks to Fairfield and Target stores back in the day!
 
I'll echo this--wait for Seth to show up.

It's tough because you are cutting out a large swath of cards by removing serial numbered. There are numerous sets that are /100 or less and still do VERY well on the secondary market.
 
Thanks for thinking of me y'all! :)

As many said...the non numbered, highly collected and valuable insert sets are pretty limited for the most part. The #'d sets hold a lot of value.

But for non numbered a few that stick out instantly are the 1997-98 Epix Emerald Moment (stated print run 30), 1996-97 Score Artist Proof Variations (regular, Dealer's Choice, "Special" thick stock), 1995-96 Ultra "Clear the Ice" acetate cards which are brilliant, 1996-97 Armor Plate Super Powers, 1996-97 black diamond gold triples (stated print run 50), 1997-98 SPX Grand Finales (stated print run 50), some of the star player 1996-97 Zenith Artist Proofs are very hard to find for some reason. 1995-96 zenith z-teams, 1997-98 game dated moment parallels..This is some cards that stick out off the top of my head

Some great sets to be had in there.
 
I'm still working on the 1996-97 Black Diamond master set - need two cards! RFTC #4 Patrick Roy and I think #17 - I forget the name.

1997-98 1:2500 packs!! I was lucky enough to snag a Hasek and Jagr lately, which are two of the harder ones to find.

Glad I could help out on a bunch of them. I will keep an eye out for the other two. Those RFTC are one of my favorite insert sets ever. The first serial numbered insert set correct? Considering this was 1996-97 I would believe so.
