Some rare unmarked promos I just bought (Biggio, Grace, etc)

BBCgalaxee · Nov 30, 2011

Picked these up at the White Plains show.
Any input about them would be much appreciated.
They were in the same box with other promos, both marked and unmarked.

1995 Leaf Biggio (notice TM)

1993 Triple Play Biggio

1993 Triple Play Grace

1993 Triple Play Johnson

1993 Triple Play Trammell

1993 Triple Play Piazza

Hmmm. Only the 1993 Mark Grace "Little Hotshots" card #11 had a Preview version, not the regular one you show. Only cards #1-12 had previews made. From what I've been told, those fuzzy logos do look like previews, but they can't be.

The 1993 Triple Play Previews remain somewhat of a mystery to me. SCD says they have "Preview" written large on back, but I've never seen one. 94's are that way but I don't believe 93's are. I bought my Grace preview from a gentleman that opened a 12 card pack that was wrapped in a clear cello wrapper and had cards #1-12 in it, and believed it to be the real deal. I just don't know conclusively anymore, I guess.

The delaer I got it from did tell me to look through his box (he knows I collect them) because there were a lot of promos in it.

There were only a few marked ones BUT the ones I scanned here (promo versions) were in soft sleeves while all other cards were not.

tuna, thanks for the link back to that.

Here's a Griffey I picked up from the same seller as the Grace. I agree with all your assessments from the Ripken about slightly thinner borders and different shades of gray/red.
