Was this 07 finest?

looking for versions of 2000 crown royal die cut need the red base version and the royal blue. i think i have the rest. have a prrof or negative unnumbered. dont think i'v ever seen a different one.

also 2013 tribute i started a rainbow, have all the colors but no 1/1

and 2007 finest blue refractor, and xfracotr or 1/1 if anyone has any.

That is 2006. Here is 2007

yep these are the ones talking about. i'm missing the blue because a deal gone wrong. and the xfractor. i have the gold but in a PSA 10 rather have a non graded one. are those part of PC?

 

[GriffeyJr]

$650 is my offer for that gold embossed, that stands for anyone else out there with one as well

 

[magicpapa]

I'm afraid 650 might just be a little low on one of thoses

 

[ch2423]

Yeah, a Cruz sold last year for $300. Doing the math, that puts the Griffey at just below a nice used car.

 

[magicpapa]

I havent seen one sell after I got this one, that must have been a good 3-4 years ago

 

[flarick]

whose was that? can't remember.

That was mine....

Hey guys, just wondering if this is hard to get nowadays or not. And if not, anybody want it for cheap?

Picked up a few interesting 88-89 cards today, most notably a 88-89 Nova Promo Glossy PSA 8. There are two versions of this card, a matte finish and Glossy, PSA grades both. I have both versions in PSA 8, if folks are interested in seeing some scans I can post them later.

I also picked up an 89 Playball Griffey BGS 9. The interesting thing about this card is that it is licensed by MLB, it has their logo on the front and back. Because this card is licensed, Becket will grade it. I've never seen another like it, really interesting card.

I love finding out about new cards to chase, especially his rookie year.

'
Could you pls post a pic of the 89 Playball with the MLB Logo? I've got three different '89 Action Superstars cards with the MLB Test Logo but have never seen the '89 Playball. Thanks!

I picked up this 90's beauty a couple days ago.

Friarg, I'm still waiting on that Allen and Ginter framed mini red auto so we can complete our trade! They HAVE to make that card sooner or later. Griffey signed everything, or so we think...

I also got this one this past week. This is my third one of these (sold the other two over the past few years) but I don't plan on getting rid of this one this time.

My boss told me he used to collect Griffey. He brought his collection by and it none of it was rare or even serial numbered. But I was surprised to see he had this card in a PSA 9 - his only graded card.

 

[BenG76]

Here are some of mine.

 

[BenG76]

Here are a couple more graded ones.



I actually have the Ultra Gold above in a 10 as well. I need to scan it.

 

[murphy17]

BenG76, perhaps you can answer this question for me. I've never understood why people get a $1 base card graded. Why have a 1996 Topps Griffey Jr base card sent in for grading? The cost to grade it far exceeds the value of the card. I'm not trying to bash you for having those, and perhaps you didn't have them graded yourself, but I have always wondered that and I felt now may be an appropriate time to ask.

The Gem Mint 10 rookie cards (especially the Upper Deck) are really nice though!

 

[murphy17]

I once saw a 1994 Leaf Griffey Jr base card graded PSA 7. I mean really... So it wasn't even a card that could possibly bring a 10. Even if it was, the cost would still far exceed the value.
