My daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 2 (2003). My son was diagnosed with Type 1 when he was 17 on December 31, 2009. We were stunned that another child of ours had been diagnosed. Please, if you don't have a favorite charity, consider giving to the JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation)
Thanks for the Sutter Kudo's....hopefully the remaining packs will be nice.......I packaged the Sutter up today with the other 9 cards for my free submissions....I'll let everyone know how he turns out upon return from PSA.....
Well, its officially 10/22 here in Chicago so I thought I'd start this sucker off.
You right coasters are lagging!
Not much to speak of in the 89 UD pack.
Here are, (gulp), the highlights.
Eric Davis- In 89 I'd have been pumped about the Davis. He just came off of 3 years of 25+ HRs(back in those days that was an accomplishment). His 85 rc card pretty much topped out areound 89.
Tony Chance - The big Rookie! He is the son of former major leaguer Bob Chance and the Pirates expected big things out of him. He never played a game in the majors and this is the only card that was ever produced of his.
Harold Baines - My old man was a Sox fan, so I pretended I liked them. I'd have been happy to show him this in 89 as the Cubs(my team) as the Cubs won the NL East crown and were 92-63 and the Sox were in the cellar at 62-92. Who knew he would play until he was 42!? Also, he played for only 5 different teams but was traded 7 times. Talk about GM's favorites!
Dave Draveckey- This picture was taken before his arm litterally fell of while pitching. Poor guy.
Not Pictured
667 Orel Hershiser - WS mvp card 386 Bob Ojeda 623 Bill Swift 531 Greg Mathews 64 Fred Toliver 374 Walt Weiss 587 Dion James 640 Danny Jackson 80 Richard Dotson 258 Dickie Thon 223 Pat Tabler
Did not get much from the 89 Upper Deck, but it was fun ripping it.
208 Rod Scurry 383 Dave Stieb 36 Larry Parrish 600 Dave LaPoint 528 Larry Owen 63 Jamie Moyer 584 David Cone 407 John Franco 699 Checklist 371 Jose Canseco 637 Charlie Leibrandt 664 Dennis Eckersley 77 Bobby Meacham 230 Tommy John 255 George Bell
The highlight of my '89 UD pack was a rough-cut Orel Hersheiser. There was also not one but two Cleveland Indians checklists and a Rafael Palmeiro -- whom I'm not about to honor with a scan.
My pack wasn't bad the mattingly will be going to psa for my mattingly collection. What i really want to know is WHOS HIDING THE GRIFFEY
ROUNDING OUT THE PACK WAS Thad Bosley Nelson Santovenia Danny Jackson Dan Gladden Donnie Hill Chad Kreuter Greg Brock Don Slaught Israel Sanchez Chris Gwynn Juan Agosto
I'm a diehard Cards fan (since '85, baby!) so seeing a Coleman first card was a nice start.
The highlight of this pack, though, was definitely the Rolando Roomes. I have absolutely ZERO idea who this guy is/was --- but the back of the card was great:
"After nine years in Cub's farm system, Rolando finally made his major league debut in '88. The call-up to the big club came after this speedy Jamaican had put together back-to-back solid seasons at Double-A and Triple-A. He hit .308, 21 HR, and 95 RBI for Pittsfield in '87, and followed this with .301, 16 HR, 66 RBI for Iowa in '88. There could be room for Rolando in Chicago outfield in '89. After 2,988 minor league at-bats, he certainly does not need any more seasoning."
I decided to check the baseball almanac to see how our beloved Jamaican fared in the bigs: He ultimately had 315 AB's in '89 (for the Reds, though, in trade for Lloyd McClendon) and hit .263 with 7 HR, 34 RBI, and 12 SB
By 1990 he'd already hit his peak, however, as he only was given another 40 or so AB's, had an average of .227 and was released.
Rolando, good buddy, at least you got a shot after all of those minor league AB's!
My entire pack: - Rolando Roomes - Carlton Fisk - Vince Coleman - Tim Wallach - Pat Borders - Jody Reed - Rod Booker - Mark Gubicza - Jerry Reed - Jerry Browne - William Brennan (Rookie Star) - Vance Law - Tom Bolton - Steve Lombardozzi - Joel Skinner

- Building these sets: ------- 1960 Topps Baseball PSA 8+ ------- 1985 Topps Hockey PSA 9+
Here's my 89ud. I got a Griffey rookie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I couldn't be happier getting this card! I was 10 in 1989 and still have the 89 fleer rookie that I pulled from a pack that year, but I never got the upper deck. The card is off center, but I don't care! I have wanted this card since I was 10, and I can't think of a better way to get one then to pull it from a pack myself.
Muy '89 UD pack didn't have anything that motivates me to crank up the scanner. On a positive note, I did get another Rolando Roomes! I'm saving my good mojo for a Henderson RC or '84D Mattingly.
Paul Zuvella Doug Sisk Les Stracker Gene Nelson Rolando Roomes Pete Stanicek Dennis Martinez Pete Smith John Cangelosi Greg Gross Jose Gonzalez Ed Hearn Frank Tanana Astros Team Card (Nolan Ryan) Darrin Jackson
Drew Hall Barry Lyons Craig Lefferts Terry Kennedy Danny Tartabull Dave Parker Luis Medina Rookie Luis De LOs Santos Rookie Brook Jacoby Charlie Puleo Ron Gant Jeff Parett Claudell Washington Paul Molitor (creased)

This is the first card release I can remember with excellent quality control (great paper stock, consistent gloss, sharp printing, clear photos, good centering, no wax/gum stains, etc.).
Budding wax pack collectors should pay close attention to the seals and folds of the wax packs you have. Since these boxes come from Steve, we can basically assume they are legit, and you can learn a lot about how to pick out legit packs from looking closely at them. Pay special attention to the roller seals on the back and hold them under light and look at the reflection of the roller seal. If you want to learn to spot reseals, buy something from overtimecards on eBay. I'm disappointed (though not surprised) that eBay has let such a crook become and remain a power seller.
Heres my UD pack: Eric Davis Barry Larkin Kirk Gibson NL MVP Jose Gonzalez Pat Perry Mookie Wilson Carney Lansford Rick Schu Rey Palacios Rookie David Otto Rookie Jeff Robinson Mike MacFarlane Steve Jeltz Terry Blocker Mike Aldrete
Yikes. I do have the market cornered on Tigers catchers, and I think that Matt Nokes would have been pretty big back in the day...
I hope Greg Harris held on to those shades. They'd be "cool" now.
You can see the stark difference in quality between Topps and UD. I thought Topps had a decent run from 83-87, but started getting lazy with the 88s....
Well no real highlights from either of my two packs for the first two days. All of the cards would not be gradable due to corner damage on each from both the UD and Topps packs. At least I didnt pull a Griffey with a nice wavey corner.
UD: Pat Tabler Alejandro Pena Bob Melvin Mariners Team Card Rick Aguilera Ted Higuera Tom Pagnozzi Ivan Calderon Jim Rice Steve Rawley Mariners Team Card (with some nice scratches across it) Dan Gladden Paul Zuvella Brook Jacoby Chuch Jackson Pirates and Orioles Holograms

Stone Cold Medina.....opened my 89 TOPPS pack and got one of the hottest rookie cards from my area way back when....we thought he was going to be a superstar.....load up on those 100 card bricks!!
also received the following: Doug Drabek Doc Edwards Tony Phillips Terry Steinbach Floyd Bannister Bill Pecota Russ Nixon Manny Lee Julio Franco Bruce Hurst Devon WHite Bob Ojeda Frank Dipino Craig Worthington
See the extra white banner next to his name..never corrected though. Unless I am missing something. There are a few 89 Topps errors though. Olivia "tm",Sheffield Cropping differences,Stan Jefferson "triangle" 3 versions I think.
Sorry for being behind, I was out of town. Great start with the 89 UD and Topps. Two HOFers and a rookie who will most likely joiin them. Loving this break so far.

Some great looking cards in these early rips. I really like the 89 Score Henderson and the 84 Donruss Sutter particularly. Very nice, guys.
hey al , thats a nice sutter there!
My daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 2 (2003). My son was diagnosed with Type 1 when he was 17 on December 31, 2009. We were stunned that another child of ours had been diagnosed. Please, if you don't have a favorite charity, consider giving to the JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation)

"After nine years in Cub's farm system, Rolando finally made his major league debut in '88. The call-up to the big club came after this speedy Jamaican had put together back-to-back solid seasons at Double-A and Triple-A.

<< <i>Muy '89 UD pack didn't have anything that motivates me to crank up the scanner. On a positive note, I did get another Rolando Roomes!
YES!!!

I got a nice Sheffield rookie. Mookie Wilson is the next best thing going.
Interesting note: My dad grew up 2 houses down from Tom Prince, Sr. in Bradley, Illinois.
These cards were beautiful, front and back.

This is the first card release I can remember with excellent quality control (great paper stock, consistent gloss, sharp printing, clear photos, good centering, no wax/gum stains, etc.).
Budding wax pack collectors should pay close attention to the seals and folds of the wax packs you have. Since these boxes come from Steve, we can basically assume they are legit, and you can learn a lot about how to pick out legit packs from looking closely at them. Pay special attention to the roller seals on the back and hold them under light and look at the reflection of the roller seal. If you want to learn to spot reseals, buy something from overtimecards on eBay. I'm disappointed (though not surprised) that eBay has let such a crook become and remain a power seller.

Yikes. I do have the market cornered on Tigers catchers, and I think that Matt Nokes would have been pretty big back in the day...
I hope Greg Harris held on to those shades. They'd be "cool" now.
You can see the stark difference in quality between Topps and UD. I thought Topps had a decent run from 83-87, but started getting lazy with the 88s....

Wasn't the 89 UD Dale Murphy a reverse negative? If so, did you get the backwards version or the corrected version?

<< <i>Here's my 89ud. I got a Griffey rookie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Whoa. Is that a William Brennan rookie card? I'd love one of those!
Tough times so far. The highlight of my '89 UD pack was a Mike Smithson (Red Sox)
I did pull a Will Clark out of my '89 Topps pack though. I'll post scans if anyone wants to see them that bad.

Nothing special in my '89 T... Kirk Gibson (All-Star) and Don Baylor were the big names.
Great start with the 89 UD and Topps.
Two HOFers and a rookie who will most likely joiin them.
Loving this break so far.
