It's a shame that PSA doesn't differentiate between the 1989 Donruss factory-issued cards and the wax issued. The factory sets ones are clearly in much better shape, whereas the wax ones are nearly impossible to find a true 10 in (at least in Griffey's case).
Hopefully none of us were foolish enough to pay $2,000 for a card from the most mass produced year in the history of sports cards! $2,000!? Yikes! That is f'ing scary.
Yep, I bought a case of '89 Donruss that year to try to cash in. After pulling the 9th or 10th severely off centered Griffey I quit and sold the rest of the case.
Around 98 99 I was paying 80 dollars for a PSA or SGC 9 Grifffey rookie. I still have a the Bowmans with the price tags on the back. I remember the Donruss Best was a 150 all day long in a 9. I put an ad in the SCD selling a PSA 9 Griffey for 150 and I had 50 phone calls. My first Ebay feedback was for an SGC 96 Bowman Griffey for 100 bucks. Funny thing is I thought I stole it.

How much was one of those going for 10 years ago? I never really followed prices back then.

That auction was for 10 of them.

Good times
<< <i>They sold for about $2,000 each in 2000. So that lot of 10 would have been $20,000.00 rather than $282.00 >>
Anyone remember what the XYZ 10's were going for on shop at home?
