What's your favorite numbered insert set that isn't "mainstream"?

brandonlec · 05-16-2013, 12:20 AM

I want this thread to be a thread in which collectors share some of their favorite insert sets that feature sequentially numbered cards. These insert sets can't include autographs, jersey, or patches. Additionally, they can't be the Fleer Ex Credentials that all collectors love and chase or similar "mainstream" numbered cards. Ex. Skybox Rubys, Prizm Golds, PMGs.

Share your favorites

Show a pic or two of their nice design.
Maybe even talk about the parallels of this underrated set

prob the 97-98 starquest gold /100. i wish i had a jordan to post but i dont. or maybe the 98-99 ud choice premium choice reserve /100. those are very underated and most didnt know what they had when they pulled it. i had a ray allen and didnt know it was special until several years after lol.

Two of mine are from Topps. Topps Hardwood has a ton of nice looking cards, this "Redwood" parallel set (/15) is really nice in person. (Sorry for my meh pics)

I'm also a fan of the black bordered 2009-10 topps, it has a powdery glitter look around it and is /50.

Finally, Panini's Gold Standard base are some really nice cards. Don't think I have a picture but I'm sure you know what they look like!

Those are not inserts, but numbered parallels

Regarding inserts, Hoops HV500 and Fleer Focus Soar Subjects Vivid are simply beautiful

97 Hoops High Voltage /500 | HUPE ROYALTY

99 Focus Soar Subjects Vivid /50 | HUPE ROYALTY

Please post pictures with your responses for us lame-men who don't know about the cards you are talking about.

Very sweet stuff thus far!

Nevermind. I misread the title and thought that the OP includes the non-numbered inserts.
