RE: Fun card of the day - djohn - 11-21-2015
The mid 90s was full of baseball card innovations. In 1995 Leaf made an insert set that felt just like the leather from a baseball, complete with embossed stitching. The cards were not easy to pull as they were 1 in 70 packs and serial numbered to 5,000 (which was low for the time), so the demand for them was high as were the prices. I chose the Kirby Puckett card as I haven't shown a card of him yet and he was a huge star during the mid to late 80s and thru the 90s.
