1990 Donruss Blue/White Test

[DaClyde]

Great research job sorting all that out. Kills me to see Winfield in that list though. I was really hoping to have missed that bullet.

Thanks, it's been a bit of a pain, but fun as well! Yeah I totally understand... it's somewhat exciting to discover a new card of your player, but then gut wrenching when it's from a pretty rare set.

Damn, it looks like Rickey is on the red sheet.

Jim Corsi on the back of it. I was always happy Rickey was never in these.........until now!

 

[BunchOBull]

These kinds of things actually make me breathe a sigh of relief that Frank didn't have a Donruss rookie.

 

[henderson939]

At least it Jim Corsi and not some other star like Ripken or Ryan.

I love these cards...

This is a huge discovery - I wish the details of where they came from etc surfaced as well -
I was ecstatic to get a couple Canseco Aqueous cards last year. I think we knew that if the player had an Aqueous they didn't have a blue&white version.
But I wasn't sure if there was Red/Red version. I watched the video I few times and didn't see one which I was relieved!
Part of me was already thinking about how I was going to cut it up then selling the singles... Whew, dodged a bullet!

Maybe there's another sheet Not sure how many cards Canseco had in the set, but Clark is in Aqueous and Blue/White with different card #s

Hello Everyone.

I am the guy that was able to allow TunaHead to get his checklist complete. TunaHead... thanks for making this for me... it will help me sell these bad boys.

I have a client that brought me a stack of uncut sheets and these 2 sheets where in them. I know he had a connection to a printer, so all the stories are still lining up.

I want to help everyone as much as I can, so I am putting out all this info before these 2 sheets go up for sale.

Most likely they will be going up for auction this next week on eBay & as a collector myself I am in awe of the story behind these.

Here are some links you can forward on & look at.


One sheet is a RED/RED sheet. The first ones ever known just popped up this past fall & was sold on eBay.

One side is shiny & one side is dull.

I'll sell it to ya!

Have you considered having the sheets professionally cut at all, or are you going to auction them as is?

 

[KCListingService]

If I owned them... I would have them cut.

But, since I sell items for other people... I will be selling them as is.

Then, the buyer can chop them... and I'm sure the market will be seeing the good singles PSA graded & on the market just before Christmas time!

With a quality cutter... I would think you would be able to see PSA 10's on many of the high name players. But, even a PSA 5 on a 1 of 1 card would still bring big money.

 

[George_Calfas]

It would be a shame to see these cut

 

[tunahead]

It would be a shame to see these cut

I'm torn on this... part of me thinks it would be a shame to cut them up as it's an awesome display piece. But the reality is, sheets like that are a pain to display and keep in good condition (as it looks like a few cards on that blue sheet are already creased including the Ripken ). There's probably more money to be had selling them as singles. Plus as of right now, these are the only copies of some of these combos that exist, so only one person would be able to own them, keeping them away from some player collectors that would love to have them.

 

[KCListingService]

I think that since the 2 Ryan's are together on the sheet, it would be awesome to not cut those apart & be able to display one hell of a collectors item!

I'd have to agree with that!
