Yeah, I have looked at around 4 "no name" sites for around a month now. I have found 6 cards. Good thing is alot of those were $1 cards and they accept SASE something I rarely see on ebay. But the discoveries are few and far between.

I don't know where to start with the description... 98 or 99? Sheets "immaculate" but one has "some creese"?



This is a rare 7 sheets uncut set of either the 1988 or 1989 UPPER DECK MLB Set.

700 cards complete set Uncut

This set has many print error such as one page of cards to be Black and White, other with logo slightly displaced.

These cards individually cut they were selling at card shows in 1991 for $1500 each.

The value of this rare set I was told that tally up to over $1 million dollars.

The Sheets are in Immaculate Mint Condition. One sheet has some creese.

There is NO RESERVE and the BUY IT NOW is far below the value of the lot

These rare uncut sheets were to be destroyed by a records destruction company, but never were.
Upper Deck treated these as stolen property and at one time (maybe even now) Upper deck would
vigorously chase down and threaten to prosecute if the sheets were not returned immediately to them and all advertisement ceased. The sheets are without holograms as this was one of the last steps in processing before cutting the sheets.

Just curious if Upper Deck chased down all of there own execs that they printed out extra sheets for back in the day?

I doubt that....a lot of the extra stock ended up dumped in the Pacific ocean including about 1000 Griffey Jr Rookies....

More info on it if you read the book about the Upper Deck company...not a bad read

No, these are the real 89 UD Sheets Not the 1991 reprinted 1989 sheets that they printed for their execs. anybody remember the 89 UD vending cases 1000 of each player but you had to buy all 700 players at roughly 3.1 cents ea.
