1990 Donruss Aqeuous Uncut Sheet on eBay

[tpeichel]

There were already some singles of the "Red/Red" test sold recently from another uncut sheet.

That earns a big chunk of the sheet cost back.

For player collectors sake everywhere, I really hope griffeyfan24 did not win this.Belle Donruss Aqueous = an arm and both legs

They are neat oddball items, I just don't see $600 plus for a Ripken.

Oh and to be clear, this isn't actually an Aqeuous Test sheet. Both sides contain cards not found in the Aqeuous or Blue/White Test sets.

Wouldn't this be consider a Red/Red Test? From the description:

One (1) rare full, uncut 1990 Red/Red Donruss Aqueous test sheet. This is a full, uncut sheet with 132 cards on each side. The front side of the test sheet is the glossy/shiny/aqueous side, the other side is the dull/(non aqueous) back side.​

So why did Donruss want to make cards glossy then?

That's what I refer to it as, the Red/Red Test. I think the seller just threw the "Aqueous" in there to get more eyes on it.

Ahhh, do you have one?

I had a "common" from the red test which I no longer have. But from what I could tell the glossiness seemed more like a standard card than one of the Aqueous test cards. Though even with an Aqueous card it's hard to tell much of a difference in glossiness over a standard card.

That is sly.

That is sly.

Good marketing I guess, a lot of people still don't know what the Aqueous Test cards are, much less the Blue/White or Red/Red tests.

I wonder if there's a pile of these sheets yet to come onto the market?

Who is that card under your name?Do you still have it?

The Cal Ripken (A.S.) card from the 1990 Blue/White Test set, Jose DeLeon is on the front. I do still have it, one of my favorite cards!

Possibly, but I think there are only maybe 10 copies of each Aqueous Test card out there, and fewer than that for the Blue/White Test, so I don't think it would be a large pile.

How much was it?Do all of those have a player on the front and back?

I think I paid $125 or $150, but that was about 10 years ago. You can find a checklist here:

I was hoping the Blue/White sheet would get cut up and listed online but I never saw the singles for sale.

My guess is that there are at least 15 copies of each Aqueous card out there, I own 9 or 10 Robby Thompson Aqueous cards, and have confirmed 3 more plus possibly two to four more past that, so I figure 15 for Thompson, which all came from sheets that contained all of the other players.

9 of the Thompson's are pictured here:

OK, that's awesome seeing 9 of the same player together. And after seeing that, and from what you've said, I'd have to agree with your assessment of possibly up to 15 copies per player. Still not a whole lot... but definitely more than were thought a few years ago.
