Re: 2009 Griffey RC Auto buyback Hologram Numbers

Hi all,
I have been in constant contact with an exectutiive at Beckett who has been kind enough to take an interest in all the controversey surrounding the 2009 Griffey 89 RC auto cards, with and without COA's and with different number sets.
He is especially concerned as one of my cards, the Black Ink Signed #13/89, is Becket authenticated, ie the entire card is judged to be authentic and the Auto graded sepparately.

He now has the 2 hologram numbers from my two cards, one signed in black ink and one signed in blue ink. He has dealt with the "higher ups" at upper deck on many occasions and does not anticiipate any problems getting a very quick answer as to the authenticity of the 2 cards and hologram numbers I gave him.

He expects to get back to me tomorrow with an answer as to those 2 hologram numbered cards, cards which do not have a COA and whose numbers are not in sequence with the other grouping that Roy has developed.

I will report back at that time
thanks

Steve, hope for your sake that my theory is wrong. Maybe we will finally get a good answer from UD on this. Beckett would look pretty foolish if they authenticed a fake card.

No doubt they would look bad...which makes me think....will they be honest about the one they authenticated? Will they just say it is real so they dont look bad.....

Just 2 throw in my 2 cents. Not only are the Balck ink (14 through 88, minis the one Beckett has [doesn't fit into my theory]) in the same series they seem to be in order. Here is a list that I made will all the Black ink ones with the one we know (with COA's) and the order of the rest. Hope this make sence to someone besides myself. Seems strange to me that all the one that are known and have COA fall in with all the others.

Hologram numbers with COA, they match up
Hologram numbers with NO COA, don't match

Could just be me or Upper Deck at its Finest

Thanks to Magicpapa.. This was waiting for me when I got home..

 

[Roy Birchler]

coqxxx4, yea the one from Beckett does not fit in order. Magicpapa got the number from someone at Beckett. The story is that Griffey only sent back 88 cards and they had to send him another one. That is the one that Beckett had.

Does anyone have a scan of the 1993 Select Dufex Promo or more information on these cards?

And this from Magicpapa, thanks again bud.

 

[Pinbreaker]

I pulled these today.. After my UD hotbox, I thought I would try again..

Wasn't a hot box, but I did get these.. Interesting that they have one for the Reds and one for the M's.. I was hoping the 89UD had the 20th Anniversary foil, but I turned it over and saw it was card number 801.. The 89 Set was #1-700 and the update was 701-800..

2009 Griffey Jr. Auto Goudey Redemption
FYI!!! Just received my auto card in the mail today but it is not the same Sport Royalty regular card from the packs. He is not in his Mariners uniform, it is a different pose in his ChiSox uni. Very Disappointed.

That is going to upset a lot of collectors.

 

[LaneyB]

That stinks BIG TIME.

Griffey collectors, did I overpay for these two patches? Normally I stick to vintage patches, but I figured Griffey would be a good addition to my collection. The first one is SP'd to 22 and I paid $210. The second one is SP'd to 12 and I paid $200. The second one looks like half of an E letterman, but I'm not sure what letters the first one is from.

I paid $200 for mine, I can't speak for others though. Those are nice cards.

Picked this scan up from beckett. This is downright disappointing.

Rob, very nice platinum.
Bruce, that is to bad. I think the only reason they were selling so high was for the Mariners uni.
