Hello and good morning! This card was only available via the dealer promotional foldout sheet that was given to hobby shops and other dealers to preview the new 1996 SP set. It came with this variation Junior card and a corner-clipped promo of Junior's '96 SP Marquee Match-Up Red DieCut card... -

I can't really speak to the Reds Sample, but I'm assuming the story would be something very much like the one that pertains to your 97 Select Sample: These particular samples are relatively common (although exact print run is unclear) given that they were distributed to every dealer and hobby... -

Sorry for the delay in answering this Sean. Most of the delay was due to the fact of me not knowing how to answer or what to believe due to these 2 reasons: 1. I personally pulled a real diamond Roberto Alomar out of a pack back in 97 or 98 that had the glossy refractive finish. 2. Yes, I do... -

Good morning Sevlist and all you other East Coasters who obviously have had a busy morning here! Haha. There are a few answers to your question and I will try and keep my answers short and to the point because I'm sure I could write a small novel or talk your ear off if we were talking on the... -

Hello Gwynn Collectors!! I'll spare the introduction, but I will mention that I hale from 23 years of Ken Griffey Jr collecting and have just now, after 18 years (1997), had an epiphany!! As you all know, the 1997 New Pinnacle Interleague Encounters card (#3) features Griffey Jr on the front... -

Thought I'd give all my fellow FCB Junior fans a crack at this card first before I post it on eBay or Blowout. I picked this up awhile back with a card that was on my list. Send me a personal message should you be seriously interested. Trade (pre-2000) and best offers will be considered. Have... -

Hello and Good Evening!! So, my 9 year old son and I were having fun the other night rippin' open a box of 98 Collector's Choice Series 2 (just cause it had Junior on the outside...smiles) and my son got all excited about a card that was different than the rest of the cards. It took me a few... -

You are absolutely correct. It took me forever to find one until I found out that the difference lies within the shade of grey in the last names at the top of the card. The preview cards have a darker shade of grey than the standard lighter grey. I can get a photo for you this Friday. I know it... -

Not sure what answer your searching for, but hopefully this will help. There are 2 different samples from this set of Junior: a regular sample and a gold rush sample of the base card in the set. The gold rush is much more scarce, however exactly how much is unknown. I also have not been able to... -

Okay Junior collectors. I would usually never post something like this, but based on the card that was up for auction and what it meant to me, I have to. http://www.ebay.com/itm/121514446820?ssPageName=STRK:MEDWX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1435.l2649 That is the URL for the 99 Crown Royale Cramer's... -

Another noteworthy addition to what was said above is that the online web cards have 2 variants. One with the online code in the uppper right and the other in the lower left. It was said that one was more rare than the other giving the owner a better chance to obtain a 'winner card', but that... -

You know, until now, I haven't seen another besides the one that I own. I haven't been able to find any literature on this card and it's not listed in Beckett or any other price guide. I would assume that it is a parallel to the regular jumbo cards from this set, but I don't have a definite... -

I believe he was referencing the holographic gold variations of both Thomas and Griffey with the Murray cards there to point at that very difference you are asking about. I'll always be a 'Kid'...like THE 'KID'! -

Can anyone help me identify this? Hello there. This, like a few others between 95 and 99, were purchased directly from Upper Deck or from Hobby shops who had purchased them from Upper Deck directly. You have a rare find there, despite the high print run number. Many were not purchased or have... -

Yes, I have one. Unfortunately, these 'oddball'/regional cards don't get the love they deserve and are often far more rare then pack released/name brand product. They were limited to 125 which were only available to certain executives in the business. There were 3 different versions of this... -

Speaking of those 99 Techno Reciprocals, do any of you have the serial numbered version of our man Griffey Jr? Or know where to get one? I have the non-serial numbered version. Thank you! I'll always be a 'Kid'...like THE 'KID'! -
