UD Griffey what is going on

[Rich Klein]

Just a note to add to this

"You don't even need a tinfoil hat, UD employees/exec outright stated that McWilliam ordered them to do so in Card Sharks"

Yesterday was Pete Williams' birthday. I'm sure he'd be pleased to see people still remember his work on Card Sharks

Regards

It was a great book -- one that piqued my interest in getting back into the hobby.

The sheer popularity of the 89 UD Griffey Jr being so great that it outweighs the sheer amount of cards is kinda impressive. Even paying $50+ for raw or $70+ for a PSA 8 seems far too much compared to how many are out there, but the prices keep holding.

It's also a testament to junk wax that a totally rare occurrence of Pedro Martinez only having 1 RC issued by any company (91 Upper Deck Final) can be had raw for a couple bucks and a PSA 10 for around $40.

Top 20 all-time pitcher, no other option but this for his RC...$40 for what is considered a "best of the best" example.

While not as valuable, the market is similar to the '86 Fleer Jordan. There are 50,000+ graded copies of that card, but the demand will never die. Meanwhile, Barkley, Olajuwon, Malone, Stockton, etc. can be had for cheap.

I will pay a million dollars for an 86 Fleer Stockton.

That's a beauty!

I suppose we can give Fleer a break in '86, but to miss him two years in a row...
