1990 Collegiate Collection Notre Dame Football Forum

This question pertains to the 1990 Collegiate Collection Notre Dame 200 football set.  There were 2000 special George Gipp cards randomly inserted in the wax packs.  I can't find a picture to verify if they were actually released.  If anyone has owns one or knows that they exist....it needs to be added to that set.

Did you check comc.com

Heres an odd observation, with that set there has been talk that there were Montana autographs # to 1979 as well as the George Gipp "insert". I have found that noone seems to actually own the Gipp "insert" or a Montana Auto (from Collegiate Collection). Since noone seems to own one or actually selling one the end conclusion was that any auto Montanas were done after the fact (card show?) and that the Gipp insert was a pre-production sample that wasnt included in the set. Keep in mind that I dont proclaim this to be fact, but its odd how noone seems to actually own one and/or you dont see them for sale anywhere.(if listed it seems to be out of stock) I was told by an "old school" card shop owner that this was a "rumor" started to push an overproduced set of cards, and that was 20 yrs ago. Seems valid to me since there are plenty of boxes/cases/sets available 20 yrs after it was made.

Plenty always seemingly available at Krukcards, by the pallet(s) even along with many of the other colleges' versions.

Not a plug, just a fact.

That's not a big surprise. Kruk has tons of cards b/c they always want too much money for cards, and boxes, and shipping, and...

They've over-priced every product I've ever seen them list for almost 20 years now. They are tied on my "high-price list"  with Burbank Sports Cards and Deans Cards.

Not sure what you mean??? Im aware that the 1990 cards are widely available, I was talking about the supposed "inserts" (auto'd Montana or Gipp variation) I even searched Kruk Cards and they dont have either one for sale but have plenty of boxes.Something I cant wrap my head around about these cards...you can get the set for 5 bucks, but pricing is all over the board ....3 for a box of waxpacks, 18 for a case (Kruks) and Ive seen an ebay post asking 500 for the set (unsold)....but noone offering the "inserts"

??? Did you not see the image of the one that was sold on comc.com?  How can you say there are no Gipp inserts?

Didnt say it didnt exist, I have been led to believe it exists but wasnt inserted into packs. Whether it was a promo or an insert it appears to be "rare" as its rarely been seen since 1990. Would love to add one, but have yet to find a physical card to buy or even find one offered for sale. With pallets of unopened cases available, you would think it would be readily available.

I can confirm they come out of the packs. I used to by these cards by the case just to find the stadium, helmet, and national championship year cards to use as ttm autos. My OCD makes me put them in numerical order and came across the card. Had I not done this I wouldn't have known about the cards existence. I think many of these have been pulled but people didn't know they were in there. Once I found the card it was difficult to find any info on it as there is not much out there. I ended up getting it graded for my PC and no surprise it's the only one graded by PSA as of today. 
 

Still have that graded George Gipp?
