I posted this at the end of the "Longoria RC" thread form last week but wasn't sure if anyone read it (maybe you did but didn't want to reply). Here it is again in case you care to add your $.02......
With porspect and draft cards out do XRC's even exist nowadays? I haven't done much research but I haven't seen these in Beckett since 03 Prospects Premieres Set w/Wright, Howard (these are the last ones I purchased anyway). Prior to that it was some boxes of 02 Prospect Premieres (great year for this product....Fielder, Kazmir, Upton.....only hit the Kazmir though)
XRC's were "the big thing" to get as I remember the 80's (Albeit, I dont remember too much)
