i opened 30 cases + 300 boxes+ of the 98 collectors choice series 2 and got 2 of those! do a google search on those boxes or packs NOTHING! there are none left to open,they were so cheap to open THEY HAVE ALL BEEN OPENED.ALSO THERE ARE 1000's of insert builders out there. with those sets i am one of them.all the collectors choice inserts sets i am building.i am missing 40 of the 94 gold sigs have a complete set of 94-96 silver sigs missing 25 95 gold sigs.i am missing 3 98 series 2 triple's i did not even bother with the 4 star home run because they are not out there. even the 99 ud choice starquest gold are tuff! but not as so the 98 home runs.i think a lot of them were destroyed! for whatever reason. i also gave up on the 96 series 2 gold sigs,they are like finding hens teeth! also i think there are way more mirror golds then they say there are "Stated print run of 30" B.S. why do you think they did not serial number them? but yet pinnacle serial numbered a lot of inserts that year! sounds like a load of crap to me that only 30 were made. look at the 97 mirror golds.how many of those do i have? STATED ODDS 1-299 LOOK AT IT THIS WAY,IF I OPENED UP 6279 PACKS 627 CASES AT 5 BUCKS A PACK WOULD HAVE COST $31,395 AND GOT A MIRROR GOLD IN EVERY 299 PACKS AND ALL WERE JUAN WHAT WOULD THOSE ODDS BE? MORE THAN A GOOGLEPLEX! THERE ARE 150 CARDS IN THE SET! THE ODDS ON PULLING ONE JUAN IS 1-44,850 PACKS AT A COST OF $224,250. SO THE TRUE COST OF MY 20+ 1997 JUAN GONZALEZ MIRROR GOLDS ARE $4,485,000 SO WHY DID PINNACLE GO BROKE????????? THAT IS ONE CARD FROM ONE SET OF ONE PLAYER. NOW TIMES THAT BY 150 PLAYERS SO WHY DID THEY GO BROKE?
