I just cracked a 93 SP wax box and pulled a few griffeys... I dont think they are 10 material (otherwise i would have sent them in) but I can help you out on that one

jackstraw · February 4, 2006 6:29AM

Thanks

ldferg · February 4, 2006 9:03AM

what is the purple hat variation and the 90ud "no trademark"?

jackstraw · February 4, 2006 9:40AM

Griffeys hat and turtle neck are purple instead of blue. I have seen one in person. I don't know how rare they are or if they are even recognized in the hobby?
The 1990 Upper Deck variation just ended on ebay and I missed bidding. I thought I was going to get it for the opening bid but fell asleep.

jackstraw · February 7, 2006 9:14PM

Anybody else collecting Griffey Jr. ? I am still looking for oddball / variation's up to 1995 / 96...........Stadium Club "Members only".
"First Day" , "94 Topps Spanish", 91 Desert Storm and stuff like that ?

Just picked up the Mr Turkey

Does anybody have any of the 90 Tetley Tea Discs? This came in a 2 panel and all the ones that are on the left have a fold mark. If you have one without the fold mark I would be interested in it?

jackstraw · February 11, 2006 4:27AM

Got the 93 SP's , very nice! Just added 17 cards to my set.

themetalsign · February 18, 2006 6:11PM

Can you believe I just picked up 30 or so 89 Donruss Griffey's and 12 are trimmed. Unreal. Dave D.

jackstraw · February 21, 2006 9:41PM

That reeks! I just picked up a bunch of odd ball stuff including a 92 Moo town with tab! Ialso got a few PSA graded cards 94 and 95 Refractors PSA 9. I have spent all my money so I will be on the shelf for a week or 2. Not that any one is paying attention to this thread?

jackstraw · March 7, 2006 9:53PM

Anybody have access to one or both of these cards?

jackstraw · March 8, 2006 7:23PM

Can someone lead me to an online price guide for every Griffey card? I am doing the master set list
and BJ needs prices for the cards so it will speed up the process? Not sure why but that is what she needs from me?

jackstraw · March 9, 2006 11:46PM

I am going to annoy everybody here untill i get these 2 cards

Champs1963 · March 10, 2006 12:06AM

I currently have the following Griffey card on Ebay, which might interest you since I haven't seen any of these before with the silver foil stamp on them.

Griffey Card

jackstraw · March 10, 2006 12:12AM

Nice looking card, what is it from?

Champs1963 · March 10, 2006 3:11AM

I don't know much about it since I haven't seen any of its kind. It is part of the MLB Showdown Sports Card game, but all the other cards that I've seen don't have the silver foil stamp. I had asked here a couple of months ago and no one really had much to say about them.

jackstraw · March 10, 2006 11:03PM

You guys might be off the hook on the 91 Donruss Preview? I think I found one

I have an 80 dollar bounty on a mint and centered 90 Leaf Preview!

gosteelers · March 11, 2006 7:40AM

I think Griffey is in for a BIG year...

Mark

zanesdad · March 12, 2006 2:12AM

Jackstraw,

Is this card worth anything?

daneyb · March 12, 2006 2:31AM

<< I think Griffey is in for a BIG year...

Mark >>

I live in Cincy but not a fan of the Reds or JR, but I agree I think he is going to have the best season of his career this year..

jackstraw · March 12, 2006 2:56AM

I doubt its worth much but you never know? I see it on kgjonline for 3.00 and he is pretty high so maybe a 1.50?

John

MurphDawg · March 12, 2006 3:20AM

Hey guys, I saw this thread about Griffey Jr. and was wondering if anyone would be interested in a wax case of '89 Donruss that I have. It's sealed and has been sitting in my attic for years, If anyones interested PM me a fair offer and I'll consider.

Thanks,

Matt

jackstraw · May 27, 2006 9:14PM

I can't believe I missed this!

iamthegreatcornholio · May 28, 2006 4:50AM

I just bought his 89 UD card in a PSA 9 for $37. I used to own this card in a PSA 9, but I sold it many years ago for $300! Buy low and sell high

jackstraw · May 28, 2006 9:21AM

I have a hard time spending any money on any of his rookies, other than the Bowman Tiffany they are all cheap and easy and often hit Ebay.
The days of making a killing on Griffey are pretty much over unless you have a stack of some tougher card that you paid nothing for. i e :
90 Leaf Preview,91 Donruss Preview,90 Donruss Blue White(if one exists?),Some Tiffanys , Desert Storm , 93 Refractor , maybe some auto's or game used seriel # card. I will say that BGS out sells PSA 2 to 4 times a PSA in the same grade.

Sheamaster · May 29, 2006 1:38AM

I collect Griffey's but primarily the regular Topps issues. I do have the following cards on ebay right now:

90 Upper Deck - PSA 9
90 Fleer - PSA 9
97 Topps Chrome - PSA 8
01 Topps Chrome - PSA 9

I also have the 2002 Topps in PSA 10. It is 1/1. PM with offer if interested.

divecchia · June 10, 2006 2:29AM

Jackstraw...

Are you still looking for the 1990 UD Griffey no trademark variation?

Donato

Color variations similar to this?
I have seen 89 Fleer Bill Ripkens like this as well. Too much ink.

jackstraw · June 10, 2006 9:36PM

Donato
I am very interested in a copy without the trademark line. LMK if you have one available.
John

jackstraw · June 11, 2006 12:31AM

Here is the next variation I will be looking for. I have the double asterisk and I am guessing this may be a way to tell factory set from pack issued cards?Sort of like the 91 Donruss variations , they just happen to be on the front.

lawnmowerman · June 11, 2006 10:30AM

<< 90 Donruss Blue White(if one exists?). >>

John,
Are you refering to the set that came in the cello packs in the plastic tray? I think I have that card

1989FleerBillRipkencollector · June 11, 2006 3:35PM

<< 

<< 90 Donruss Blue White(if one exists?). >>

John,

>>

I think the cello packs in a tray is Donruss Baseballs Best. The card he is refering to is from the regular set.

jackstraw · June 11, 2006 6:08PM

Matt and Billy
The card I am refering to is a double sided 90 Donruss design with a player on each side. One side is blue and the other side is white. Very
tough and expensive! I am still not sure if Griffey is in the set or not. I know Schmidt is.

jackstraw · June 11, 2006 6:14PM

Here is one on Ebay

1989FleerBillRipkencollector · June 11, 2006 10:52PM

<< Here is one on Ebay >>

Search Aqueous on this board. There was a thread about Aqueous and Blue/White with a of couple advanced collectors of these sets who will know if Junior is in there. There is a reference to a guy who posts here that had a few to sell. He had some on ebay a while back. Good Luck

1989FleerBillRipkencollector · June 12, 2006 1:51AM

Griffey collector PM sent

jackstraw · June 22, 2006 6:24PM

Well went to Shea yesterday and Griffey didn't play! I have been waiting for this game since I bought tickets in Feb. ! Didn't even see him.....
On a good note say Pedo pitch and David Wright homer 2x. So it wasn't all that bad. I thought for sure with 2 on in the 7th down by 4 he would have pinch hit for Freel the centerfielder.
