Griffey card question

[hofautos]

Does anyone know what history is on the price of these?

1st jersey card

I'd be interested to find out as well, I've recently started looking for one of those.

 

[championMan]

History on my beckett guide said it sold for 150-300 during the early 2000's

 

[hofautos]

also, anyone know how easily attainable they are. How often do they show up?

Burbank has one for half a grand on ebay. The most recent one didn't sell for 220

 

[hofautos]

if you dont mind me asking, those that have them, how much did you pay and when?

 

[LaneyB]

I've only got one now but I've owned 3 or 4. I've bought them from 76 to 200+. I've seen them sell for 300+ though within the last year. You can get one for 150, ylaf always has one listed.

does anyone own a multi-colored one?

I've never seen any colors other than teal. When they first appeared, they were very tough, either 1:800 packs or 1:2500, can't remember, with 3 cards in the set, which was pretty rare at the time. However, they came out through other means. I pulled a Frank Robinson POH bat card from 1999 Ionix that was damaged. I sent it in for replacement and they sent me the Griffey jersey instead. Replacing a card with a rumored 350 print run with a 2-year-old jersey card seemed odd to me, but I wasn't complaining given the BV of the Griffey. I mentioned that to a big dealer at a show later on and he said,"They [sic] still doing that?" So I imagine that had been going on for a while, and still was for a while afterwards.

IIRC, an article appeared in Beckett way back then and the question was asked how many swatches you get out of a jersey and they said 300-400. Of course, there's no telling how many jerseys they had.

Wow, the Ordonez jersey sells for $1.50? Ow. I always wanted to complete the set and I guess I can for about $15.

... You can get one for 150, ylaf always has one listed.

I searched I dont see one listed by ylaf or even in completed?
Is he a board member? I will give $150 for one now.

I remember an image from an old beckett where the patches were cut off and separated so that only the teal portion was used for the cards. I wonder why the griffey outsells the gwynn by so much.

You can make a lot more jersey swatches from a Gwynn jersey (size 56) than a Griffey (Size 44) !!!
:lol: :lol:

Being a Gwynn fan forever, I always got teased about that!!!

Obviously, since that $2K they were referring to was for a GAME USED JERSEY.
Not card..... :lol: :lol:

 

[magicpapa]

yup the 2K they were talking about was a price a griffey GU jersey would run, as for the 1997 card, ive prolly seen them sell for about 500 at one time, and theses
2005 Upper Deck Rewind to 1997 Jersey #KG Ken Griffey Jr. M's
