as the other poster said, there are some really tough 90s insert cards out there, very scare that are not widely known.
Cool card, hope the seller got his money.
Plus, anything Jordan is red hot.

That’s actually a damn good point. I can envision a group of kids showing off their T206’s back in 1911 or so. One kid shows off a red Piedmont Cobb and says, “I’ll sell this one for a nickel.” A deal goes down and the card changes owners. Another youngster whips out his red Cobb, only this one has “Ty Cobb” on the back rather than Piedmont. “I’ll let this baby go for a quarter.” The other boys laugh and call him crazy. “But it’s rare,” explains the proud Cobb/Cobb owner. “It’s not rare, idiot. Looks just like mine just with a different back.” No deal goes down, so the kid tucks it away somewhere, forgets about it, then finds it 80 years later... and becomes a VERY rich old man.
