Finally invited to a Rave

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.

  2. I 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.

    1. It's cool to see some of these '90s cards/insert sets hold up over time.

  3. I remember those Rants & Raves. Rants been the lower end of the spectrum. I probably have a few (Rants) tucked inside the trade insert boxes.

  4. You think those are appropriate, you ought to dig up some 1995 Fleer. Even some of the inserts are rave-worthy.
