On a similar note, I picked up a set of '99 Topps Chrome Traded back then and had doubles of Corey Patterson in the box. He was the "Hot" player in the set at the time. I sent one to BGS and it came back a 9.5 and immediately threw it on ebay. Darn thing sold for $500. I couldn't believe it. I then bought a bunch of '55 Topps I needed for my set.
