Griffey Collector's Thread

Beautiful What year is that one?

its what the other one would have looked like if Donruss would not have went belly up in 1998
"Donruss had plans for extending the Crusade set into 1999 and beyond, however with the bankruptcy of their parent Pinnacle Brands, those plans never came to fruition. However, in the years since a number of Crusades with card numbers above 130 have surfaced. It is that many of these cards were "backdoored" after the Pinnacle Brands bankruptcy."

Hi guys. For those who don't venture to the box break section, I just pulled this out of a box:




I am still in shock

 

[magicpapa]

/99?? keepin it?
would go good wif

 

[AK11]

Yeah, it's a keeper. BGS has never graded one gem mint, only 3 mints exist. Being fresh out of the pack, I may have a shot at a gold label.

I can't upload photo's but a few more Griffey cameo's I have are

1991 UD Ken Griffey Sr #572
1991 UD Greg Briley #479 (Griffey in the photo on the back of the card)
1996 Score Jay Buhner

I'm certain you probobly know of all of those already though. Does anyone else have any more Cameo's? I think it is a pretty interesting sub catagory to collect.

He seems to be on a lot of Buhner cards

A couple of oddities I picked up. Any of you guys know anything about these Donruss sheets?

I've seen the 91 Donruss Sheet a few times on ebay, it's really an interesting item. I'm not sure about the history of it, or why that card didn't make it into the standard set, I like that photo more than the regular cards. If you are looking to sell it, I would be interested.

Do you have an available scan of the back of that 1991 Donruss sheet? It is blank backed or marked as samples in any way? That's a cool find.

It has a blank back, and it's almost like it's a page from a magazine, not cardboard stock. I wonder if they made another with other players or another color of border for series 2. I also like that shot of Griffey better than those that made the set.

Could definitely be something like a Boys Life magazine insert.

Could be a sheet like some if those from the Fleer bankruptcy? kinda like test sheets, but paper stock. ChandyGirl13 or somthing like that has them. I know Nolan (ClarkFan) has at least one sheet with a Clark image from a set that never was released.

And here is my weekly insert/parallel post







And yes...the Gems Gold will be going to PSA with my next batch sent out Not sure what I'll do if it's not a 10 haha.


From a PC standpoint here and possibly as just a card collector, I must say that the refractors with out the peel; mind you that that peel does in fact say "Remove protective coating" look 100% better, especially slabbed forever in a PSA/BGS case.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

I peel mine as well. Look amazing without.

@AUTaxMan


The argument I see floating around sometimes is that the cards are less likely to grade a 9.5 or 10 - which ha been debunked numerous times. I believe that with the coating they grade the coating as the surface of the card.

She's a keeper!

My girlfriend attempts to show interest at times with my collection but couldn't care less, she tries though so it's cute but I wouldn't want her spending more than 20 bucks on a card for me as I'd be deathly afraid of what Griffey it was.

Could only imagine the horror of her saying "I got you a Griffey auto numbered to 100!" and then seeing it's Sr.

Heh, or even worse a 2012 sticker Panini auto with no Mariners Logo
