Breaking a 1989 Fleer baseball wax FF case!

tsalems1

2 boxes in.... 2 for 2 on the big 3! The Randy Johnson is "Ad partially obscured version"

I hope the centering runs the same throughout!

Great start Tom!

How are the corners - I've never opened any 89F - tho I do have a factory set.

I forgot how many - but I know there's a load of variations.

Box 3 had no Ripken, However, The randy Johnson was the Marlboro ad version!

tsalems1

Corners are fine. I am more concerned with centering with this stuff

Forgot to say, the Johnson Marlboro in the 3rd box was o/c

tsalems1

Through 5 boxes. Breakdown is...

4 Ripken FF
4 Griffey
3 Randy Johnson Ad partially blocked...all 3 centered
2 Randy Johnson showing Marlboro Ad....both 60/40

What is the rank in scarcity of each of the Johnson variations?

tsalems1

I wouldn't call any of them scarce but the Marlboro Ad is probably the one most in demand

<< <i>Where did this case come from? NICE! >>



I bought 4 or 5 of them a while back

tsalems1

I am working on the rest of the boxes. I have opened 15 up to this point.

1 thing I have noticed...

All 3 versions of the Randy Johnson have been pulled out of this case

Marlboro Ad
Ad partially blocked
Blacked out

Ad partially obscured has recognized red and green tint variations. I know Beckett will label them as such but not sure about PSA.

Isn't there a valuable Jeff Treadway Target variation?

Yes, I did pull a couple other variations. 1 looks like red tint.
Also the degree in which you can read the Marlboro Ad varies

<< <i>Isn't there a valuable Jeff Treadway Target variation? >>



I did not pull any of the Treadway target variation

This is the Treadway variation. I've always liked his cards because I played ball with his 2 older brothers.

Those are very nicely centered Tom. Congrats on the hits!!!

I must have ripped tons of them back in 89. At least I know those weren't unopened worthy even back then.
