Griffey Collector's Thread

[Jack Straw]

Cobra
As far as I know that is/are all the Griffeys in that set. I am very interested in what he says
about whether or not it is numbered and or blue like the scan shows? I have both the red versions and
as far as I know the one with the 80 price tag on it is the mirror/mylar Griffey/Walker and the other one
is mylar/mirror Griffey/Walker ?

I don't think they are serial numbered. The blue tint is just the scan. I may be wrong (happens often), but as far as I know...this is the breakdown. So in all, there shold be 6 different versions across the 3 sets.

Regular: Both players each have a red foil side, & a red mylar side
Gold: Both players each have a gold foil side, & a gold mylar side
Mirror: Both players each have a mirror gold foil side, & a gold mylar side

 

[Jack Straw]

I think thats wrong? They only have 4 versions according to the SCD. The four versions
that I posted of Griffey are it I think? The Mylar is the duller version and the mirror is the
brighter version. I may be wrong and would love to see a picture of what you are calling Mylar,.
Do you have any of the Frank Thomas/ Galarraga cards?

 

[Cobra29svt]

:lol: Prob is wrong. I do not have any of the Franks'. I have a Nomo/Pedro gold, Tino/Bagwell, & a Griffey/Walker. I do know that from what you've posted, you're missing the Griffey Gold (Walker foil side). What I'm calling Mylar is the plastic side (not foil). The mirror is the "refractive side", not the foil side. The "Mylar/Mirror Gold from a saved image" could indeed be what you have it listed as, but only if the Walker side has the Mirror finish. From your scan, I would assume it is just the regular gold, w/ the Walker Mylar on the other side.

Mine is the mirror gold and none of them are serial numbered and they are impossible to find due to the numerous variations...

Also none of them have both sides as a mirror, only one side is a mirror....

That's a good question. Don't really have any plans for it. I've had it for awhile now. Prob just keep it. Oh....I do have one of the Franks'. Frank-mylar & Galarraga-foil.

Wanna trade? I have a couple of Franks you maybe interested in?

 

[Cobra29svt]

Heys guys, there seems to be some confusion. I have the regular (red) Griffey. The only gold I have is Nomo/Pedro.

[Jack Straw]

I thought that was the mirror/mylar ? Is Walker a mylar? Those are the terminology that SCD uses?

 

[magicpapa]

I have no idea now? I thought it was the foil back like the second Griffey I posted.
Maybe Scott was right that there is 6 different? Just add a mirror mirror I guess but I am
confused as all get out :?

Where is Lance? Isn't he the 98 Pinnacle guru?

there should be 5 total
red/foil ..........foil/red
gold/foil.......... foil/gold
mirror /gold

only the front side of the mirror gold is mirrored

I am hoping rarecardcollector shows us the back of the one he bought but that sounds about right.
