Are those boxes sequenced like the 1989 Upper deck boxes? Is there a way to know what pack has what? I dont know much about unopened product past 1993.
1990 Score sequenced
1989 Upper Deck Sequenced
1987 Fleer Sequenced
what else?

1993 Upper Deck SP was completely hit or miss on the boxes, you either slammed a Grandslam or struck out on 3 pitches, if memory serves me right I had to open 6 boxes of 93 Sp to get a complete set. 1 box you get 1 or 4 Jeters, next box 0.

No sequencing that I knew of on the 93 SP, and on the 89 UD only the later printing had any sequencing and that was hit and miss.

Bad luck, I swung and missed on some 94 SP from BBCEX but I got some nice Damons!

Its just the luck of the draw.

Forgive me if the Jeter market blew up more than I realize but I thought you could buy a PSA 9 in the range of three and change?

Ah - I see they have gone up. One ended at $350, but that looks like a mistake BIN by the seller. Appear to be high $4's now. Wow.

Sorry about the misfortune on the boxes.

is that even possible?

Um, just for perspective, why should a Jeter rookie command more than 1980 Rickey Henderson PSA 9, ~$175ish?

Or more than a 1983 T Gwynn for maybe $20... (forgive me, I don't keep track of some of these fast-dropping prices.)

Jeter's not anything special, stats-wise will be just an average HOF (unless he gets another 1,500 hits to break Rose's record, which seems a not-high probability event.)

got 6 javy lopez, 5 carlos delgado, one box had 1 pack with no rookie. 2nd box had 3 packs with no rookie.

Supply and demand doesn't give a damn about stats.

1993 SP is a foil card, very susceptible to dings and chips

Jeter's a Yankee

Jeter's the Yankee Captain

Jeter's probably the most popular Yankee since oh I don't know, Mickey Mantle?


Steve

Edited to add:

You could ask the same thing about why Mickey Mantle cards are worth more than Willie Mays and Hank Aaron cards.

Popularity does not directly relate to a player's statistics.

After years of cracking boxes and cases, I know only by the stars. I know it is not as much fun, but it works out in the end money-wise.

This is why I stick to 1990 Fleer Football for cracking boxes!

Actually, I do feel the pain.

One time, I was looking through one of my old commons boxes, and underneath a shoebox was one of the foil SP Jeters with no sleeve or anything on it!!!

Even with the bad corner dings and bad marks on the foil, some guy still bought it for 10 bucks at a flea market from me.

I told him the story about how it hadn't even been in a sleeve or anything, but he bought it just so he could own one.

I don't know how I screwed that card up so badly, and why it didn't end up in a sleeve and toploader.

Have you looked at all the fronts and backs of the cards for errors?
