The link goes to a generic auction because the auction Geek is trying to reference has already concluded. Geek, what is this fine specimen you've uncovered? Was it a Tiffany RC? Sold for a buncha buncha like 4K or so?
Sorry, I thought it would go to the original auction. It's just a 88 Topps card, not a Tiffany card, that is in a PSA 10 holder that sold for 110 bucks. The card is obviously not a 10 though. This is a card that has never been valuable. More like a 2 dollar card. I should probably just ignore stuff like this.
Everyone seemingly had a stack of 1988 Fleer Jefferies'. Thing is he had a decent career but you need more than that. Points to the futility of purchasing the latest "hot" rookie.
Random Memory: A buddy of mine was purchasing 1997 Bowman Chrome Jose Cruz Jr Cards during the month he was hot.
It's the singer not the song - Peter Townshend (1972) Not even a minute do I buy the whole buh buh buh I'm a man-child japery - Me (2025)
On the other side of the spectrum, I grabbed this 1986 BGS 10 many years ago. Shocked it is still the lone Pristine graded (No black label). Maybe I get lucky and it stays that way. I have a 1986 Lakeland Smoltz Pristine too that is 1/2 (no black label). It's their first cards and their PSA 10 pops and total pops are relatively low for that era.

En plenitude.
I've got something I'm almost embarrassed to add - an 800 count box of 2nd yr Glavines. 🥺
oh, ok. i was expecting to see an 88 topps cloth glavine or something like that.

Does that actually exist? All the listings on eBay that say cloth don't appear to me to be cloth.
Do 1988 "Tom Glavin" cards sell for more than 1988 "Tom Glavine" cards?

^ Apologies Cardgeek, I thought it was too funny to pass up
BTW: How many Rookie cards depict HOF's wearing braces?

Grills count?
Brings back bad memories of a big stack of ‘89 Topps Gregg Jefferies cards! This lesson taught me to focus on vintage proven HOFs…

Collected a fair amount of TG rookies and 90 Leaf. Felt HOF chances were good. Mission accomplished there, but price did not follow suit.
they do exist. very rare test issue. and yes, most on ebay are simply base topps, just like those tiffany cards listed that are really just base topps

1,500 1987 topps Bo Jacksons and 500 Will Clarks for me.
