Griffey Collector's Thread - Part Two..

View attachment 117353


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.

The first new Diamond Kings in three years. All cards in this twenty-card set are numbered to 2500, with a Studio Series parallel numbered to 250. Donruss got some players to autograph the first fifty copies of their Studio Series DK, but not all.

1998 Donruss Crusade Red Ken Griffey Jr. /25 #39 SGC 8 NM-MT | eBay

Nicely preserved with crisp edges and sharp corners. We at PWCC are not professional graders so we trust in the reputation and opinion of 3rd party professional graders. Professional grading is subjective and different 3rd party graders will often disagree over the grading on a single card.

I noticed the refractor line right away.. Maybe that's why they gave it an 8.

At least it will give you a better idea as to what yours's is valued at..

$7,100 with 9 days to go..

 

[magicpapa]

I know I will get back what I paid for mine......hehe

 

[zlpeterson]

It's a PWCC auction item, OF COURSE there is going to be something shady going on with the bidding. The PWCC items consistently go significantly over similar cards with odd betting patterns
