Kirby Puckett Collectors Thread

Hey Matt, what’s that square jersey card numbered out of? I assume it’s out of 50, hoping it wasn’t more limited than that. Hunting for one now either way. [emoji3]

If I chose the correct version from TCDb it looks like it's /50

I finally ripped my 2022 A&G Hank Aaron Box Topper Rip card as no one was making an offer on it or bidding on it when I listed it on auction.. So I said screw it and ripped it..

I pulled 3 minis.. 2 of them were the Kirby Pucket Mini SSP #380. Just checking to see if you need one before I list it on EBAY?

I don’t see a lot of these ink color variations, but get excited when I find a new one. I was able to pick up the black signature recently to go with a blue signature I already had.

Any Puckett collector need this? It was cut (the best I could) from the Score/Pinnacle Promo panel?

 

[K34PuckettAddict]

Great card; I have one already, but appreciate you reaching out about it here!

I finally found one of these, only took 19 years. This was the last one I needed to complete the run. I loved DLP products from back in the day, they were always my among my favorite cards each year.

There are a few active Kirby Puckett collectors on the board now so its time we have our own thread. Post all things Puckett related. I will try to post random things from my collection and new pickups at least weekly to keep the thread going.

I'll start out by posting of a couple of cards I picked up on the boards here a few years ago. There is a 25 page thread on these somewhere and people still disagree about the authenticity of them. All I know is they look legit to me and I'm extremely glad I picked them up when I did because they haven't showed up since. 1990 Upper Deck Buybacks that were supposed to be packed out in 2010 Upper Deck Baseball before they lost they license.

worked at Ace Novelty, Bellevue Wa., in 1992 in the design and pre-press dept. We had applied too MLB for a license to print and sell baseball cards. We were given the OK to present a proposal of finished printed baseball cards and packaging. After we made our proposal and at the last minute they decided not to issue any new licenses. What we had printed for the proposal were to be disposed of. As I was the pre-press manager I was able to salvage some of the very best of the cards and some packaging from the garbage. Over the last 32 years I have kept these safely stored away. I recently received info (Thank-YouTanner www.TanManBaseballFan.com) that these cards may be of great interest and value especially the Kirby Puckett card which I have in English and French. I have taken these in to two local card shops and they are very interested and are asking pricing. I have also shown these to some on-line collectors who also show interest and are asking prices. I saw the Griffey card on E-Bay once for $899. I have also read several stories and emails from people who are aware of the cards being out their. one said he had purchased 2 Griffeys for $500 each and said he was very pleased. I personally believe I may be one of a very few who saved these cards, and I might have the largest collection.
Attached are just a few of the hundreds of different players, and some in English and Japanese. I also have some finished packaging and a finished press sheet front and back framed. I have most of the big names from 92. I have sold quite a few cards already to collectors here on Freedomcardboard. email me if interested

I worked at Ace Novelty, Bellevue Wa., in 1992 in the design and pre-press dept. I have a collection of all the cards we submitted to MLB in 1992. MLB decided not to issue any new licenses that year do to market saturation and declining demand. What I have are the finished printed product that we submitted. I have had these for 34 years and they are in pristine condition, laminated printed front and back, with a set of 92 All Stars with red and gold foil including Ken Griffey Jr. English and Japanese version, also 4 different versions of Kirby Puckett and hundreds more of the 92 biggest stars. I am in the process of getting these graded, but if anyone is interested email me. These are all very rare, and have already sold some to collectors here on FreedomCardboard


Thanks

Here’s the pics of this porcelain card. There’s no mention of year it was made anywhere on the card. Does anyone know by chance?


The cert mentions it’s limited to 30 days or 5,000 which I found interesting. Perhaps they all said that & I just didn’t notice.
