Someone got a good deal, I guess the seller being from Taiwan hurt the price.

Fingers crossed....100% FB though

Is this a common card? I don't remember ever seeing one before.

[ebay:2tpeb34a]270518247830[/ebay:2tpeb34a]

edit: I just found it was in the 1998 SI World Series set. It is from a 15 card insert set. Strange that I have never heard of the set.

Hi
Just bought this card on ebay
2001 Stadium Club Super Team Ken Griffey Jr , Larkin
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120520411967

The seller then sends me an email today
Do you have the redemption card from this set? If you want that also it would be another 100.00.
There is believed to be only 30 of those?
Thanks for the business.
John

Why would I want to buy the redemption card, even if there are only 30? Is there something about this card where the redemption card is worth buying? Or is this just an attempt to get an extra $100? I've never cared about any other redemption card although I've had many sellers include it with the card I buy.

Thanks in advance for any help with this

ALSO I'VE BEEN WORKING ON THE PHOTOBUCKET SITE AND HAD TO CHANGE SOME THINGS AROUND BUT THIS IS THE LINK FOR MY GRIFFEY STUFF POSTED SO FAR- HAVE TONS LEFT TO POST.

THE LINK TO MY GRIFFEY STUFF POSTED SO FAR
LEFT SIDE HAS ALL THE SUBGROUPS LISTED, SOLD CARDS (I'VE SOLD A FEW TO GET INTO INSERTS) ARE MARKED "SOLD" WHICH ALLOWS ME TO STILL DISPLAY THEM EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE NEW HOMES

Sounds crazy to me. I looked in the SCD Annual, and they list 2001 Super Teams insertion rates as 1:875 Hobby/Retail and 1:340 HTA. (they also don't book the card as much as you paid for it, but I would not wish to comment about that, since the Griffey experts here would know more than I.) But thought you'd like more accurate insert info.

The card I am offering is the one that you recieved when you mailed in the 2001 Diamond Backs
card (won the World Series). The card you bought was the pack issued card . I guess its really not a redemption card
its a diffrent issued card. Anyway just thought you may have liked it.

First of all let me say had I known it was you to begin with, I would have just let you explain this to me. But I thought I was dealing with just "any old seller" not the infamous Jack Straw.

Thanks to your picture and explanation I finally understand. First I thought I was buying some redemption card for my card, and I don't usually treasure redemption cards very much. I thought someone here might shed light and some has- you.

I'm very familiar with the card you are offering and again, first confused it with a redemption card because of its explanation.
I'm almost sure I have that card, but will check tonite when I get home to make sure. Those cards are relatively rare and we've all talked about the "super team" cards before on the forum.

Thanks for the sale and the explanation and I'll get back personally after checking tonite.
Also very sorry for treating you like some seller when you are a "forum friend".

Nice cards! I like the blue personally. If you had to pick one.. JUST ONE of your griff's as a favorite.. which one?

Thanks. If I had to pick just one it would be the one card my wife bought for me (I could always use the autographed version). This will be the last card in my collection:

I got this card in from UD for a card they are not going to produce.. 2008 Ballpark Griffey Auto -43.. I still have 2 auto's in pending status from 2008 Ballpark.. -72.. I wonder if they are going to produce those, or send me replacements as well..

They sent me the same card as a replacement for a ballpark auto card- mine is up on ebay now as I have another one.
Guess that's going to be their replacement, no serial number and they probably have pretty many sitting there. Good old Ken keeping Upper Deck going- Without Ken, they would be Lower Deck

That's a bunch of BS, I've got a 2008 redemption that hasn't been fulfilled yet for the same card.
