So the 86 Tiffany cards came from a Bonds-less set I picked up on Ebay last month for about $24 or so. They all looked like high end 9s/10s, so seeing the Jackson get the 8 is a bit of a shock.

Anyways, the run of Will Clark PSA 10s is nice, especially the 1986 Mother's Cookies one. I submitted the first PSA 10 of this card a few years back, but sold it for some really wicked $ recently. I really missed having it, so I got another to submit. Bam. Pop 2. image

Each of my Mother's Cookies PSA 10s are Pop 2s.

5 additions to my Will Clark master set, 1 upgrade to my MVP winner set, 1 crack/resubmit (Jackson), 2 cards to add to my "Bay Area stars" box, and one (the 7) to crack and stick in a binder or something.


Now I'm just waiting for:

    I was curious to see what kind of offers I'd get. The buyer didn't even bother with that and went straight for the BIN. That was a good day. image

    Apparently the 93 Flair Promos are a tough issue to find.

    All the Mother's Cookies cards were put in the "card condoms", which I don't mind. These things scratch really easly, and I think the insert might help keep the card from scuffing against the holder.

    Also, the Mother's Cookies Clarks are all pop 2s.

    And here they are....

    How do those '93 Flair promos sale in PSA 8-10 as compared to their raw counterparts?

    I have this one just sitting in a team bag, thinking about having it graded.

    I have no idea. There aren't many of them graded. Here's the pop report on the 1993 Flair Promos:

    ANDRES GALARRAGA: 1x PSA 9
    NOLAN RYAN: 2x PSA 9; 4x PSA 10
    SAMMY SOSA: 1x PSA 9
    WILL CLARK: 1x PSA 8; 1x PSA 9; 1x PSA 10

    I took a quick look at Beckett's pop report. and it doesn't look like they've graded any of these.

    The only 93 Flair Promos I can find for sale are a raw Sosa sitting in an Ebay store for $50+, and a raw Daulton on Naxcom for $50+. I've never seen an auction with one of these.

    Nope, there's a guy who's miles ahead of me on the Will Clark Basic and Masters, but I'm not even going to try to touch that. 1986 - 1987, and maybe 1988 for me. However, I'm working on a raw master set. Trying for a PSA graded master set is just too much coin.
