These were not packed out in 2010 UD. I've broken 25+ cases of 2010 UD and never seen a pack-pulled 1990 buyback.

There were a couple of backdoored sets of 1990 with the 20th anniversary stamp that supposedly came from someone at UD.

A few years ago, someone claimed to have purchased one set at a garage sale and was piecing out the set through Ebay, BO, and FCB.

I picked up the Carlton Fisk:

That was my understanding from reading this thread. I am just hoping the cards show back up at some point so I can get the two Sandy Alomars.

and kinda odd they would use the same Holo as the 1989 year too................

I still feel like they likely fed a 1990 set into the stamper on accident and someone walked out with them or dug them out of a dumpster

Topps Heritage put a 50th Anniversary stamp on their buyback cards several years in a row.

the story behind them definitely sounds like it has more holes than swiss cheese. I truly believe these could have been cutting room prototypes or the printed run set for insertion abandoned after UD's license loss and the order to stop production and sale in 2010 before ever releasing series 2 happened. nobody will ever truly know I guess.. these are unicorns of the hobby but in hand these cards look/feel 100% legit.

20th Anniversary of that particular set. Like Topps Heritage does year to year.

They're a weird oddball, guess I'm glad I grabbed the one I needed back then.

For a modern set, 2010 UD has a lot of mystery surrounding it:

The existence of the 1990 buybacks referenced in this thread

The lack of 1990 autographed buybacks (as advertised on the wrappers of hobby packs)

The Supreme red parallels that never surfaced, as well as the Supreme green parallels that were supposed to be numbered to 100: http://www.blowoutcards.com/forums/...upper-deck-supreme-clearing-up-confusion.html

The Signature Sensations set: According to another collector, UD Customer Service confirmed that nine (9) of the announced 100 SS cards were not produced: Wainwright, Granderson, Pie, Parra, Montero, Tolbert, Braun, Markakis, and Vanden Hurk. Additionally, given the volume of product that I’ve broken, the SSPs in the set are much harder to pull than the common autographs in this set. There are a handful of cards from this set that I have never seen.

Exquisite base cards: It’s clear that there are not 75 copies of each card, despite the serial numbering. Card #86 also remains uncatalogued. I’m also assuming that both the Exquisite base set and the four (4) Exquisite patch sets both total 100 cards. These base cards were not fully recognized by Beckett until recently.

Exquisite patches: There are only a handful of copies of each of these patches. Two (2) of the single patches and one (1) of the Combo patches remain uncatalogued. These patches were also not fully recognized by Beckett until recently.

Double Take variations: All 25 cards have been identified online except the Heath Bell Ultra Rare variation.

A 50 card retail exclusive add-on (601-650) called 2010 Upper Deck Baseball Wave 2 was never released due to the legal settlement related to the set. I've never seen any indication that those cards ever got out into the marketplace.

I’ve sent UD multiple emails but have gotten no response. My best guess is that the legal settlement bars them from commenting.

Wow , lots of good info there. Good luck finishing your Exquisite base set

I always assumed the "story" was BS but cards were legit. Maybe he couldn't say he had a buddy who used to work janitorial at Upper Deck and fished them out of the dumpster or the back room where they were meant to be destroyed or he himself, worked for Upper Deck. But I have the Clark's in hand and they seem too good to be bogus. I definitely am glad to have mine, just think the whole story setting it up was probably junk.

BBCgalaxee · Apr 2, 2015

Why can't we just assume that ud stamped the 90 cards at the same time as the 89?

They obviously thought they'd be making baseball in 2010 & 2011.

It is stories like this that add a whole new dimension to the enjoyment and excitement of hunting down cards & collecting. We may never know the full true story, but from what I am hearing on all sides is that these puppies came from upper deck in some way, shape or form. I personally don't care how - I just know they exist, and while Upper Deck claimed that you can find them in packs of 2010 Upper Deck, but were never inserted, that adds all the more to the interest and desire of this type of card. These are definitely the bee's knees.

shadowking86 · Apr 2, 2015

Does anyone happen to know if the guy that had these sets is still active anyplace or know how to contact him? I'm hoping he has not sold all of his cards and has the Sandy Alomar Jr.'s still. I have tried PMing him on here but no response, which is not surprising as it has been a few years since he was last here.

mouschi · Apr 2, 2015

I have been waiting with MUCH anticipation for my Canseco to come in the mail, and today it came! As a custom card maker myself, I can safely say that this was not from someone making them in their basement. I simply would not be able to replicate this if I wanted to. Somewhere along the line, I have caught the buyback bug, and while I paid a good deal for this, I'm confident if I ever do sell in the future, I'll do quite well. Congrats to all of you who landed yours!

I'm sure the 20th Ann Holo's are real and are from Upper Deck........... but after seeing Holos on theses (Fake)1989 Griffey Rookie Buy Backs from 2009............... someome got some Stickers from somewhere...........
