You may find this hard to believe, but I'm not particularly cool.
In college, I did go to my fair share of house parties and the occasional frat party, but I never experienced a rave. I remember there being a few, whether it was at one of the aforementioned frat houses or somewhere off campus, but i just never felt very inclined to go.
When I got to NYC, I remember my good buddy going to one in Brooklyn, and he tried dragging me along. I didn't go though. It just never appealed to me.
Well, I finally found a rave I can get on board with:
Circa Rave parallels are some of the harder mid-90s cards to find. Circa, in general, was a whackadoo set, then throw in the Rave set, and it's even more out there. I do remember these going for big bucks back in the day, and I know nowadays the big stars like Griffey still go for a few hundred dollars on eBay when they pop up. Luckily for me, the minor stars have come down in prices quite a bit. Still, I feel fortunate to cross this one off my collecting bucket list. It was one of the more coveted Tinos on my want list.
Well I for one think you are super cool and a very special young man.
ReplyDeleteI really need Blogger to work on their spam filters.
DeleteI have one rave in my collection and it is by far one of my favorite cards I own. You are right about the prices. Even scrubs still go for decent money.
ReplyDeleteIt's cool to see some of these '90s cards/insert sets hold up over time.
DeleteI remember those Rants & Raves. Rants been the lower end of the spectrum. I probably have a few (Rants) tucked inside the trade insert boxes.
ReplyDeleteYou think those are appropriate, you ought to dig up some 1995 Fleer. Even some of the inserts are rave-worthy.
