Who else ordered 89 Fleer Rack Cases??

PROMETHIUS88 · October 15, 2008 11:14AM

Ordered one this weekend from Higbees and got it today! Starting the rip tonight. I know others got in!

lsutigers1973 · October 15, 2008 11:46AM

I got one from some random eBay seller and one form BBCkid. Both the same. No FF's but got a rack with Ripken black box on top. Selling the extra boxes in garage sale this weekend. Let me know how the Higbees box goes. I almost bought one last night.

billwaltonsbeard · October 15, 2008 12:40PM

Higbees = No Ripkens of any kind.

1989FleerBillRipkencollector · October 15, 2008 1:36PM

2 Higbees buyers have rec'd no FF variations I have been told. I assume saw cut era. Higbees said it was most likely they were made for K-Mart.

I have bought a few rack cases recently.

1 case no versions

1 case BBox round edge

3 cases BBox square edge

another case incoming

Pulled 3 racks with BBox on top and this rack with double borders. lol

neenish · October 15, 2008 4:45PM

Higbees - scribble version
BBCKid - round black box
BBCE - round black box
All with Randy Johnson complete black out.
Got a case or two rack cases still coming from different sources. Also getting a wax case for cheap.

If anyone wants to sell their stickers in bulk cheap let me know (looking for the ones with 4 different circular stickers on them....I use them for my school kids quizes/tests)

<< If anyone wants to sell their stickers in bulk cheap let me know >>

PM me your address and I can send you a bunch of them.

lsutigers1973 · October 15, 2008 10:42PM

<< BBCE - round black box >>

I got one rack case and 8 wax boxes from BBCE last month and all ine were either FF or black scribble. The ones with FF had the Johnson full Marlboro ad and the ones with black scribble had the ad partially obscured.

DavidPuddy · October 15, 2008 10:54PM

Anyone pulled a Treadway with the Target?

1989FleerBillRipkencollector · October 15, 2008 11:27PM

neenish- Which Black Scribble?

DavidPuddy- I never have

msassin- I'll start saving them for you.

lsutigers1973 · October 15, 2008 11:31PM

On eBay, the only seller that has a case other than Higbees is stephaniescollectibles. Anyone ever heard of them?

Scribble version from Higbees? Was that a rack case??

onefasttalon · October 16, 2008 12:17AM

Isn't she putting together a Bar in her basement or something like that???

ldferg · October 16, 2008 12:36AM

is there an all-star insert in each rack pack?

Notice how he only has 1989 Fleer in cello and wax. Resealable. Doesnt use his own pics and now has a PSA 10 Heath/Brookens error. Most likely he learned that PSA now grades them from the thread on here.

alnavman · October 16, 2008 2:14AM

I know this has been answered but can someone provide a list with all the variables from this year?? I have two rack boxes and a cello box I plan to open and want to know what to look for.

thanks al.

If you guys have not thrown out the box with Gary Carter on it I can sure use 1

If those racks with BBox on top are for sale or trade lmk

Here's the error list

Romine Action/Pose

Trillo Throws Right/Rig...

Boggs Spot/No Spot --------------AFTER HIS POSITION ON BACK

Young sideways S/No S ----------UNDER WORD PITCHER ON FRONT. LIGHT BLUE

Ashby Throws Right/Rig

Vandeberg Throws Left/Lef

Parrish handwritten i in Parrish - said to be a print flaw quickly fixed

Orsulack white Spot on cage/no white spot,actually you can see gray

G. Hernandez 4 variations (red spot on armpit,lighter,Whiteout,not visible)

Heep San Antonio/Lake Hills

Treadway Target /no target -----------------LITE BLUE ABOVE HEAD

Allen Syosset/Saratosa

Moses Phoenix/Tempe

Heath/Brookens switched backs

Henderson/ Hendersor C-List (positions-no positions with "r"-no positions with "n"

R Johnson- many different variations of corrections over box. 4+

C-Lists that lists players positions

FF- many,many variations

alnavman · October 16, 2008 4:15AM

Just some quick questions on the list:

Romine Action/Pose - is the other pose just a head or body shot??

Allen Syosset/Saratosa - is it Neil Allen??

Moses Phoenix/Tempe - John Moses??

Henderson/ Hendersor C-List (positions-no positions with "r"-no positions with "n" - Rickey or Dave??

C-Lists that lists players positions - ?? not sure what this means, is it one of the checklist cards??

1989FleerBillRipkencollector · October 16, 2008 4:29AM

Romine Action/Pose - running is error, standing is corrected

Allen Syosset/Saratosa - is it Neil Allen?? -Yes.

Moses Phoenix/Tempe - John Moses?? Yes

Henderson/ Hendersor C-List (positions-no positions with "r"-no positions with "n" - Rickey or Dave?? Dont remember. I think card 654? I think the r is the common version. I have my other notes at home.

C-Lists that lists players positions - ?? not sure what this means, is it one of the checklist cards?? Yes. The checlists have a rare error. Looks like this below (Thanks again to a fellow CU member for allowing me to finally see one after years of hunting).

Great idea, I'll have to use that with my students!

lsutigers1973 · October 16, 2008 5:27AM

If any of the school teachers on here really want the stickers PM me. I probably have around 500 or so.

Sorry Mike - I kept that case for a few weeks but never heard back from you so I tossed them.

And if anyone wants stickers, they can have the several hundred (thousands?) I have here for whatever it costs me to ship them.

neenish · October 16, 2008 7:21AM

Is this what you're looking for?

1989FleerBillRipkencollector · October 16, 2008 7:28AM

Those are them. For sale/trade?

I think I have a carter box, when I pull out what I plan to open I'll let you know....they are in another box somewhere in my basement. I also want to thank 1989FleerBillRipkencollector for his help with the list of "errors". Hopefully this weekend I'll start breaking open some boxes.

PROMETHIUS88 · October 16, 2008 10:04AM

Ok, so I looked thru all 3 boxes in the case last night, but only busted one. Opened the first box and right on top of the first rack was a Randy Johnson.. sign marked out. Got one other Johnson out of the box, but no Griffs and no B Ripkens at all. I'll post the results of the second box later.

1989FleerBillRipkencollector · October 16, 2008 2:11PM

alnavman- No problem. Good Luck.

Promethius88- No Griffeys. *shakes head* A guy recently bought 2 rack boxes from me and opened one and accused me of stealing the Griffey as there wasn't one. If our issue goes to court, I'm going to Sopeana you as a witness.

Good Luck with Box #2. When you get no versions, your other boxes will yield no Bills or in one experience, saw cuts.

If anyone is collecting the 89 Fleer errors and needs some of the more common ones..I have a few available for free. The ones like Heath/Brookens are not rare and not valuable. Though there is one guy who is trying to get $100 + for a PSA 10 one. Good Luck with that Gary.

alnavman · October 16, 2008 10:21PM

is there inner meaning to this statement: your other boxes will yield no Bills thanks al.

1989FleerBillRipkencollector · October 16, 2008 11:42PM

<< is there inner meaning to this statement: your other boxes will yield no Bills thanks al. >>

Usually if there is not a Bill in one box the other will follow suit. Only 1x have I found different. I busted a rack box and it didn't have Bills so I sold the other 2. The other 2 had saw cuts in them.

Leiascards · October 16, 2008 11:56PM

My case yielded 4 Ripken Black Boxes and only one Griffey. So there were 2 boxes out of 3 that did not have a Griffey.

1989FleerBillRipkencollector · October 17, 2008 1:31AM

You'll get a Sopeana too.

alnavman · October 17, 2008 5:35AM

Well, I found the cello box that I knew I had. Getting ready to open the packs. Also here is scan of the box cover. Is the Carter box still needed and if so any suggestions on how I can get it to you???? I will have to get a box to put it in which will cost plus postage, are you sure you really want to do that?? let me know...here is scan. also the scan looks a lot better than the actual box cover, there is scuffing on the cover

alnavman · October 17, 2008 6:20AM

opened up the packs from the cello box and no Griffey's. However found these:

alnavman · October 17, 2008 6:26AM

I went thru the cards pretty quick and pulled out two of the Heath fronts/Brookens backs and found one Brookens front/Heath back. Also Heep with San Antonio on back, Moses with Phoenix on back, Trillo showing bat and throw right on back, Allen with Syosset...are these "common" type errors ????

alnavman · October 17, 2008 6:28AM

last but not least found these, any errors worth holding on to or possibly grading here????? I also included some scans of cards that I know I was pursuing back in the day since they were all going to be superstars and make me rich....talk about reminising as I went thru the packs WOW

lsutigers1973 · October 17, 2008 6:34AM

The Johnson blackouts and the other variations are worthless. The Ripken in a 10 would get you $45-50.

alnavman · October 17, 2008 6:50AM

THANKS lsutigers1973 for the information.are the one's I pictured the actual errors? also are these also worthless?? and are they the errors?? there appears to be a small white dot in the cage on the Orsulak card, is that considered the error?? al.

There are different colors of the dot - not so much an "error" but variations. >>

Does that Curt Young have a small sideways "S" under his position at the top? Almost looks like a hair? I've found the non-S version to be the tougher of the two. How about everyone else?

Oh but they're both basically worthless btw.

We are celebrating FLEER FRIDAY, show us all your variations!!!! I found one of the rack boxes I had and there wasn't much to talk about, but I did get a Griffey RC. Beleive this is the most common Ripken if not mistaken. Also the Henderson on the checklist appears to read Heandersor

1989FleerBillRipkencollector · October 17, 2008 7:49AM

Fleer Friday !! lol No one told me.

Heres a thread that has some of my FF stuff.

For Fleer Friday we really should all be wearing a uniform. Here is Fleer Jerseys you can buy. Seller wont fix the pic, evern after numerous requests. If you search the item, the small search pic works.

neenish · October 17, 2008 8:13AM

Look. A super new and previously unfound Randy Johnson variant. I call it the booger variant due to the splotch looking like a booger on the card. All kidding aside, I just ran across these print variants that are all the same. Looking under a 10x magnifying glass, they are a cluster of droplets on the cards. I got this case from salssportscards on ebay. All the other cases (Higbees, BBCE, BBCKid) had clean looking cards. The first picture is an upclose of one of the cards and the second is the group of cards with the same booger on it, in the same exact spot.

neenish · October 17, 2008 8:17AM

Donovan,

I can't wait to see the Ripken black box rack slabbed to go with your other racks. Is this going to be the first black box with all the cards in the same direction?

Brian

I dont have all my pics on here saved or stored in my head but I think that one your sending me will be my 1st BBox "straight" on rack I'll have. Thanks again for the free rack. I appretiate it. Hopefully I'll get $40 for it on ebay.

neenish- I'm bidding on their rack case they have up. Maybe I can add to your spotty collection. lol I had a few Bonds cards that all had a red ink dot on them and other asst. "ink issues" cards.

I wonder if those bubble looking things were from too much air in the process,somehow?

neenish · October 17, 2008 8:34AM

I got 5 Randy Johnsons complete black out w/booger, 6 Ripken black box and Griffey's in the rack case from sals. Oh, and one more Ripken black box "straight" rack pack.

alnavman · October 17, 2008 9:10AM

looks like I'll have to break out the 81 Fleer again...now where is that Craig Nettles card at....

Who else ordered 89 Fleer Rack Cases??
