Older wax! 90's & 00's Tony Gwynn pack collection -1

Gwynn545 · Mar 30, 2014

I am looking for some packs with Tony Gwynn on them. Do any of you guys have shops near by that stocks this stuff? I just need one of each, and would like to find a few at a time if possible to save on shipping, if you know what I mean. Some of these are available on EBay, I know. I don't really want to spend $6 per pack yet. These I need and am sure Gwynn is on them:

*1994 Upper Deck 1 East
*1994 Upper Deck 1 Central
*1994 Upper Deck 1 West

*1998 Revolution

*1999 Revolution

*2000 Invincible
*2014 Panini Classics
*2015 Donruss Hobby

The following packs I cannot confirm Gwynn is on them, but I would assume he could be:

2000 Omega
Some of Pacific Online Packs, possible 1998?

Not looking to transact...just looking for a card shop (if there are any anymore) that carries this crap! However, if you checked the transaction forum, you would find out that your advise is worthless. Thanks anyways...

Got three more in today. Here's what I am looking for, if you have a shop nearby with this type of stuff hook me up with a name or phone #!!

I wish I hadn't thrown out my 1998 Pacific Online box and wrappers! Those are covered in Gwynn!

Not sure how much in the way of single packs from that era, but a local shop here probably has unopened boxes of most.

Card Exchange in Seattle. Ask for Ryder. (206) 440-5467

They have the best selection of older wax I have ever seen in a single shop.

Haha…just realized that you are from North Seattle. I'm sure you have been there already, but if by some strange chance you have not, you need to go. He is on Aurora, around 143rd.

Wow, they have a pretty nice selection. That brings me back down memory lane. Funny how some of those boxes I would of DIED to have as a whole box back in the day and today I can buy them all and just have no interest lol

LCS had 7 packs with Gwynn on the cover but none of them were on your list.

Ha! THanks for the idea! Ironically, I have been to that shop, and he did have a ton of boxes (not many single packs) and I actually did (@mansgame) buy a 1998 Topps Tek box there a few years back!
The guy was really nice, and I should go back there!

I really appreciate checking!! THey must have been the ones I had pictures of?

CollectorsCorner · Apr 17, 2014

The only one that I can say for certain was there was the Private Stock one from 2000.

They were at Eagles Card Shop in Kent. Maybe you have been there, I don't know.

mrmopar · Apr 18, 2014

I remember going to Eagles when he was in that strip mall in the Highlands. I thought I heard he is still open, but out of his house?

Gwynn545 · Apr 18, 2014

OMG, you guys! That's exactly where I went to get the first 7 or so!!! I just stumbled across the shop (yes, it's his garage!) and noticed the packs was instantly intrigued!! and bought one of each of what he had! WHat a small world...

mrmopar · Apr 18, 2014

In the late 90s/early 00s, I was hitting just about every shop in the greater Seattle area because my job allowed me the freedom to travel around. So many shops…mostly closed now.

If you have not been to DJ's in Renton, that is one you should definitely try. He is just off Sunset (and Duvall, I believe) in the Renton highland area just south of Newcastle. Great shop, the kind that always has piles of random stuff sitting around.

CollectorsCorner · Apr 18, 2014

Eagles is my go to shop. Always buying collection and sells singles at a good price. It is in his garage but it isn't really a garage. Just used to be

I still hit most shops in the area. Staggs in kent is more just coins now. DJs is a bit of a hike for me and I have never really had luck there. Hizeys is a new one in Auburn and while I spent a lot of money there the first 6 months they no longer have a good selection of wax or singles. West Coast I can snag a single or two at a good price from time to time. I'm sure I am missing a ton but these are the ones in my area.

I'm looking through my wrapper collection for you. Bought a couple of these packs in a Long Beach, CA after an interview a couple years back. amazing that these foil wrappers are now clear. See below:

There's a shop in Pennsylvania that would undoubtedly have some of them. Want their contact info?
