Hey guys and gals,
It's been a long time, hope all are well. After much deliberation (and with great heartache), I announce I am selling off my Griffey collection. It's been a hell of a ride and one of the greatest passions of my life. Rather than list the big guns on eBay, I thought I would...
Anyone know why some of the 99 hobby autos are hand numbered and some are not?

Well said. Those are my thoughts exactly. Great minds think alike! Ultimately, finding a raw (or PSA for that matter) 97 Essential Credentials will be the biggest challenge.
tidel144,
I'm not going to crack open the Essential Credentials. I just can't. It's the only one ever submitted. I couldn't do that to their population report. I'll have to find a raw copy and buy/offer 9.5 as trade. At least my other graded cards aren't pop 1's so I'm more inclined to crack...
Appreciate the input guys! Definitely leaning towards raw.
tidel144,
Good point. And one I'm struggling to find a solution to. I don't want a mix of graded and raw. It's going to be one or the other for all cards. Although I don't feel great about it, I may crack a few of these open since...
Hey guys,
Haven't posted much on here lately, but I've got the collecting bug again. My Griffey collection is at a bit of crossroads, and I want to hear what some of my fellow Griffey collectors have to say. Allow me to explain..
One of my goals is to display my 24 best cards in a high end...
I went all in and threw my best offer at him, and I got it for a great price. Surely other people would have offered him more, but I saw an opportunity and I went for it. He still made a pretty penny, though. It was four figures. I'll leave it at that.
^What he said. There are plenty of listings on eBay I have problems with... this isn't one of them. Nothing wrong with fielding offers, particularly for a card with such an ambiguous value. It's certainly an interesting card, never seen anything like it.
Nice Game Jersey! Another iconic card: 93 Refractor. One of the most important sets of the 90s. First time major manufacturer released production figures. First unofficial "chrome" by Topps. Changed the hobby forever. Incredibly beautiful, too! For the early 90s, the visual appeal is amazing...
