I barely have the words for this addition. I am PSYCHED to get this box. I'm an 80's kid (born in 1980) and I remember this card and how HUGE it was back in the day. As a 9 year old it wasn't even a feasible thought to buy it.

Finally. Exactly 20 years later, the wait is over. I get to bust an entire box for only $80, searching for one of the original grails. Let's just hope I'm lucky enough to pull one. Wish me luck!

And yes, of course I could have bought one for $30, but honestly, where is the fun in that?

Hey folks - I need some help on this one...

I have, in the raw, two versions of the 1989 Donruss Ken Griffey Jr. RC -
#1 has one asterisk around the Denotes Led League on the back
#2 has two

Nifty variation, eh?

The problem is, I'm looking for the two star variation in PSA 10 to move toward completing my Griffey PSA 10 Rookie Set - and it's proving to be a hell of a find :idea:

I'm trying to understand what might cause the problem. In the raw, both variations are easy to find. Do you know if one was in factory sets, and another was in packs? I'd love to hear from you. Thanks,
