A misslabeled PSA flip just made my day

artistlost · October 7, 2009 5:39AM

I have been looking to buy a 1989 Bowman Tiffany Ken Griffey Jr PSA 9 rookie for a while now.

I have followed a few but then always ended higher than I would snipe. Well just by chance I searched to see what a 1989 Fleer Glossy would sell for and found a 1989 Bowman Glossy PSA 9. I watched it and then was able to win it for the opening bid of 49.95.

It arrived today and it is a beauty. Someday I may send it in to have the flip fixed but for now I am just going to enjoy.

Sweet pickup! Congrats!

How much does that card usually sell for?

artistlost · October 7, 2009 6:33AM

Not sure can anyone VCP it? I was always out bid around or above $100.00

I sold my Bowman Tiffany Griffey, the Tiffany and base of both Griffeys for about $180 a few months back

I'm not familiar with baseball cards, can someone tell me what the error on the PSA flip is?

Nice pickup Matt .

Awhile back , bought a 1974 mislabeled SD/ Washington PSA9 card. The guy had no photo and I was interested in a plain SD card. I won the auction for like $23 . It arrived and was labeled SD when it was actually a scarcer Washinton card inside.

PS-- Sorry for just beating you out in the end on the Can-0-corn baseball league.---- Sonny

You played well. I wish I had a few more innings left at the end so I could have tried to make a run at it.

Maybe next year.

It should read 1989 Bowman Tiffany not 1989 Bowman Glossy

Clearly the right thing to do is list it on ebay as a 1/1 rare glossy non-Tiffany version for $1500 obo.

lsutigers1973 · October 7, 2009 7:30AM

No the right thing to do would be to send it back to the original seller and tell him it was a Tiffany card that is worth a lot more.

'89 Bowman Glossys are super rare.

He did know the value of it even if it was labelled wrong as he had a sticker (from a store i'm guessing) on the back of it with a price of $160.00

"I'm not familiar with baseball cards"--Mullins5

I'm not at all surprised...yet your sarcastic replies as of late indicate otherwise.

"Edit" that smart guy.

that is a pretty card, my favorite griffey rookie and probably my favorite card from 89 up
