You are looking at a rare 1999 Fleer Ultra insert. ‘Diamond Producers’ is a 10-card set featuring the biggest stars of that era on a die-cut design with a Refractor-like finish. Odds of pulling one of these cards from 1999 Ultra were 1:288. Despite the high odds, they usually sell for about $5-$10 dollars.
Fleer’s Ultra [...]

For quite some time I’ve been looking for a photo of George Foster on the Chicago White Sox. He only played a few games for the ChiSox in 1986, his last year in the majors, and so photos are probably pretty scarce. I’ve never been able to find a picture of him wearing those lovely [...]
