Love the 91-93 elites. Something like 1 in 75 boxes. I knew about them through Beckett and lusted after them. The only one I saw in person back then was the 93 McGriff that a friend pulled. I promptly traded him for it. Then in 94, as print runs began to shrink, my brother pulled a 94 Griffey elite. Even though they were still /10,000, they weren't nearly as hard to pull, so they lost their luster a bit for me. Anyway, as I began to build my Larkin PC as an adult, when I could afford to buy the cool cards I couldn't buy as a kid, the 93 Elite was one of the first on the list.

A lot of people don't know this, but the design around the borders, which was revolutionary at the time, was created by none other than Dick Perez, the artist of Diamond Kings fame.
