Really excited to add this one. The 1995 Pinnacle Certified Mirror Golds were the beginning of the Mirror parallel lineage that became one of the defining chases of the 90s. A really cool piece of hobby history, and Ripken felt like the perfect player to represent it in my collection.
I saved a sealed box of 1997/98 Pinnacle Certified Hockey for a special occasion so a few weeks back at Fanatics Fest in NYC my buddy Coach Koe and I decided to rip it and he hits a Mirror Gold! Peel on or off? 🤔
I fell in love with this card right away. First, Conway is a great nostalgic Bears player. Second, the design of the card both front and back. Third, the protective film is nostalgic. Hits me on all the right levels for my collection.
