[QUOTE="mouschi, post: 3700167, member: 10591"] At long last, my Crusade is complete! My 1998 Donruss Crusade rainbow, that is! Ever since I started seriously collecting Canseco, The 98 Crusade Red was at the top of my wish list - perhaps it was even my first recognized white whale. I kept thinking to myself ... they are numbered to 25, so how hard can it be to get one? (Insert painful belly laugh here.) Looking back on my blogs, the start of my new Canseco collection started 2 about 2 1/2 years ago, so that is about the amount of time it took me to finally land the red. SOOOOO ... here they are together! [img]http://www.tanmanbaseballfan.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/trifectasmall.jpg[/img] I've been dreaming about this day. This card is a huge key to my collection, and it didn't need an autograph or patch, either! If you recall though, I did make a "Tanner Crusade Plus" and had Jose sign in red a while back that I think hangs with these in terms of beauty - it too has a refractor finish that you may not be able to see from the scan: [img]http://www.tanmanbaseballfan.com/wp-content/uploads/photo-gallery/0612a/thumb/0612a12.jpg[/img] Hey @1st4040 - it turns out this is your old card!
