Griffey Collector's Thread - Part Two..
I stumbled upon something a bit interesting... In 1988, a children’s book came out titled “Something Mary Found”. It was created to be distributed to kids in the Seattle area to educate them about the dangers of drugs. The book publishers partnered with the Seattle Mariners to help get the... -
Griffey Collector's Thread
There is also a few variations with the packaging art on its wrapper. Different colors used and the lightning bolts rotated in different directions. Here is one of my versions: -
Griffey Collector's Thread
Hey ckurdelski, I have two different versions of Griffeys 89 Phoenix Magnet. The photos used are different in both versions. I believe the 90 Phoenix photo is the same photo used as one of the 89's. Rumor has it there might be two other variations; one with orange copy write font and another... -
Griffey Collector's Thread - Part Two..
I may try to reach out to Topps and see if I can get more clarity. I have a sneaky feeling you are correct. Thanks for the compliments on the collection. It pales in comparison to most folks on here but I am happy with it, keeps me busy. What is your collecting focus? -
Griffey Collector's Thread - Part Two..
Crbatt, I think you are correct, color transparency makes more sense in this case. Well done on parsing the auction description and forum link for info. I love this aspect of the hobby of trying to figure out what is what. Here is another example of what I thought was Final Color Negative of... -
Griffey Collector's Thread - Part Two..
That is really interesting, now I am super curious about the hell it actually is. When I get home I will post a scan of my other Photo Negative for comparison. I am curious on your thoughts Crbatt. -
Griffey Collector's Thread - Part Two..
I received it from Topps Vault. Their auction listed it as Final Color Negative but it does look a bit different than other Color Negatives I have. -
Griffey Collector's Thread - Part Two..
Thanks for the help Chad, I do appreciate it. I do not post much, but I do lurk often ;) Speaking of 89 Bowman Griffey's, I did recently pick up his Final Color Photo Negative: -
Griffey Collector's Thread - Part Two..
From my experience, the Tiffany version is the same size as the standard Bowman and has a similar card stock. The only difference being the Tiffany version has a Glossy finish which in turn can affect the hue/color, which can give it a cream/yellowish finish. I scanned an image of all three... -
Griffey Collector's Thread - Part Two..
Is anyone familiar with the 89 Bowman set that can shed light into what I might have here? Both cards are mine and are scanned side by side to show size comparison. The BGS 9.5, that just arrived today, is 1/8th of an inch larger in length and width than the PSA 10. The BGS 9.5 also appears... -
1989 Donruss Rack Box?
Interesting, that’s all I am seeing as well. It is odd to me that Topps, Bowman, Score and Fleer have an 89 Rack Box but not Donruss. I thought I was missing something. Austin, thank you for your help. -
1989 Donruss Rack Box?
Hey all, Did Donruss produce a 1989 rack box or were their rack packs placed individually in rack cases? Thanks in advance for any info. -
Griffey Collector's Thread
Yup! For what it's worth, I collect anything with Jr. on it, even if it's technically his fathers card. Also, if you are interested in that specific card, there is rare textured TV variation (there is another thread talking about it). -
1989 Bowman Variation
I stumbled upon this variation about a year or so ago and scooped up a copy of the Griffey. Do you know if PSA or BGS will slab them with variation noted on the flip? -
Baseball card trivia
Its not a PSA 8 or 9 but... The 1990 Topps PSA 10 Ken Griffey jr > 1989 Topps Traded PSA 10 Ken Griffey Jr and The 1990 Topps Tiffany PSA 10 Ken Griffey Jr. > 1989 Topps Traded Tiffany PSA 10 Ken Griffey Jr.
