Congrats on the new cards, Matt!

I am anxious to see the "Black Diamond Peyton Manning rookie subset." As mentioned last night, I have yet to see anyone with the single-double-triple and quadruple diamonds... Good luck and awesome cards!

Thanks for helping out again bud!!

What I remember about busting those packs in 1998 was that the manufacturing QC on the BD Rookies set (or at least the inserts/parallels) was the worst I had ever seen. I have so many cards that are miscut, either by the diamond cut or smaller/bigger than normal cards it's ridiculous. I sent some in for replacement and got them back with the serial numbers written in magic marker. And a lot of the replacements were miscut as well, so I thought the heck with that.

So when you say there are only 2 green 9.5s I believe it. I'm surprised there are any. So congrats sir on your pickup! That is a STRONG card right there. The gold is sweet too!
