I actually pulled one of these from a box back in the day. Such a great card!

 

[LaneyB]

maybe the Premier has left/right waves too?

I guess it's possible, as the other one was news to me.

 

[magicpapa]

Every single listing on EBay says 1994. Kind of strange. . Do you have the gold and silver sigs?

have neither

The 3 gold 1996 crash the game cards july, Aug and Sept
Are tuffies as well

Yeah, that's the one on the right, the Premier. I've also been alerted to the Platinum Team that has the waves going left like yours - I've got two copies with the waves going right. So...if you ever feel like you don't need those two any more...

Wait a minute......

Are you all saying that the Platinum and Premier Team parallels have left and right wave versions? Or just that one of them has left waves and the other has right waves?

I'm just saying that I have now seen Platinum cards with left waves; I've only ever seen Premier cards with left waves.

Apparently the sheets were out in upside down on a run or two
I have a matching pair at least. LOL

Been looking for one of these, missed out on a good deal on one recently too. Anyone in here have one available?

Great.
Now I have to go home and check my Jeff Frye Platinums. The one I have pictured on my website runs upward left to right but I'm not sure about the other two.

I'm still looking for a Premier so I can't check that one. I wonder if the Red Sox run was affected or if it was just the Mariners.

Edit: Well crud. There's a Clemens Platinum on eBay right now with Right to Left waves. Theoretically that means there's a Jeff Frye out there too. Hopefully one of my doubles is the Right to Left one.

Edit again: Checked my dupes and luck was with me for once. Time to update my website pics.

I looked at the ones on eBay they are the other wave that I have but are way too much

Some fun ones..

Since Ken Griffey, Jr. was under an exclusive autograph contract to Upper Deck, Donruss was unable to have him autograph any of his DKR cards. Since he was the only player unable to sign, Donruss simply made a special un-autographed parallel numbered to only 89 copies, to round out the set. As mentioned in the listing for the regular DKR's, the Griffey, Jr. is an un-corrected error, as the card reprinted was in the 1990 Donruss set, not the '89 one.

I have the DK /89, but what’s the story with other one? Mine is /1989.

I've got two of the black foil promo cards. #016/100 and #037/100. They don't come up very often. Congrats on the pick up.
