    I'm hoping not.

    What's this?

    Even a Mediocre player on

    So far,
    The only value in this RIP thus far.
    Is the

    Hi guys,
    Yes, I finally pulled the trigger on Ebay!
    It been a long minute since browsing.
    At first I was searching for the 1991 TOPPS "40th"
    Anniversary series
    Boxes.

    But I spotted the famous
    1989 BOWMAN Boxes!
    At first. I tried to win an auction. Lost the last few seconds. Sold for $41, I bid $40.
    Anyway, So I sought after a "Best Offer".
    He was asking, $49.99.
    I offered $45. He excepted.
    So after shipping/tax, $63.
    36 Packs. That's less than $2 per pack.
    Fair Price or not?
    Here it is...

    I figure, let's risk it!
    Why not, right?
    I should receive either by Thursday-Monday.
    36 Exciting attempts to pull
    Kenny's HIGH VALUED GEM!
    First can I receive decently conditioned packs?
    Then, can I actually pull a exclusive Griffey?
    Then finally, is it humanly possible the card will

    GEM?

    A lot to hope for but you know me guys.
    I like taking risks!
    I'll post it guys as soon as I get the box!
    Thanks 😊
    Do I see this in my near Future?

    Good luck. I have always loved that Griffey RC. Also worth noting that 1989 Bowman factory sealed sets tend to produce very high grade cards at a fraction of the price of wax boxes. Something to consider if you don’t land a PSA 10 this round.

    Thank you, sir.
    Someone advised me, instead of sending to FANATICS (if Kon wins the R.O.T.Y.)
    I should send to PSA!
    That would be more valuable than $100 that the BUYBACK would offer.
    I just might do that, even if Knueppel shouldn't win!

    Tonight...
    I'm feeling
    # AWFUL
    For two reasons.
    First,
    Kon Knueppel LOST!

    Then secondly,
    My 1989 BOWMAN BOX.

    Never Showed Up!!!

    Yep, the tracking shows,
    "DELIVERED".
    But NO Package at my door!
    😢
    This never happened to me before.
    I already checked my neighbors.
    Tomorrow, I will check my post office!
    I have a lump in my throat!
    Very Upset😡
    I've been watching/ waiting
    ALL DAY!
    :/
    😢

  • Probably show up today, that happens to me all the time. Tracking says delivered and then shows up the day after, I think it has something to do with the local post office and lazy mail carriers.

    Oh?
    I surely hope you're right!
    Thanks for the bit of HOPE, you provided.

    Great News!

  • Awesome! I had a feeling it would be there. I just got a card in the mail yesterday that said it was delivered Saturday.

    Another one to consider?


    :*

    Aren't you a Chicago guy? If so, isnt 89 Bowman all about the Jerome Walton and Dwight Smith?

    I had to check my old 89 Bowman custom plastic sheets to see if they were there and yes they are.

    Best of luck. Fun set. Always like that they were just a little larger. They needed their own special box and own special sheets.

    That's a super '89 BOWMAN Collection you have there dude!
    About the Jerome Walton.
    Sure, R.O.T.Y. in '89.
    But as to sought after and valuable?
    Not so Good.
    A quick story about
    Jerome Walton...
    Back in '89.
    I was employed in the same 30 story apartment building, on
    Michigan Avenue.
    Where he lived!
    Met Jerome many times. Even got his Autograph and picture taken with him.
    Swell guy, good player.
    However, this was apparent, what I'm about to tell you.
    Yep, if you followed his career. Not soon after his great first year.
    He started to falter.
    And I'm a witness to knowing of partly the blame.
    Jerome's full commitment was beginning to lack!
    I used to work nights.
    6:00pm - 2:30am.
    Many evenings or I should say mornings!
    I would witness Jerome strolling in after Midnight!
    Yep, I assume the guy liked partying! I could be wrong.
    But doesn't the Cubs play most of their home games at around 1:00pm?
    So, this is my cool experience working at that
    Downtown building and meeting
    Jerome Walton.

    Thanks

    Great story. I still hope you get a Gem Mint Jerome and many other players who did not meet our lofty expectations in 1989. And of course the Griffey.
