My experience: purchased 4 High # boxes within 3 months @ $125 ea. 6 Griffeys, 7 Randy, 8 Smoltz. My best (and only) Griffey I want to slab is an 8, 8.5 on a GREAT day. 80% of the Star Rookies were affected by the team holograms in middle of pack. Side note: I purchased 4 1993 UD factory sets from different sources, and one was a gold. Unfortunately, it was bricked. The Jeter is going to PSA regardless (6 IMO), but the Chipper has a shot at a 9. Nice vid, always like a blast from the past.
I remember these cards, my first pack was 87 Topps with the wood border, these Upper Decks were a special treat , they were more expensive then the Topps. The good ole days lol.
Great video!!! Takes me back to my youth. Now living in Carlsbad CA I drive by Upper Deck corporate office often and the logo on the building always makes me think about being a kid opening packs of cards.
Seeing 89 upperdeck in 1990 I was so impressed with the quality that the card obsession began.
100% correct…any card I pull, submit and 10, instantly becomes a PC Card…very hard to part with the card knowing the effort it takes to get a 10 in hand…love the process!
I remember opening boxes of this as a kid with my dad. We used to do shows and flea markets. From what I remember, the star rookies are collated to come out in order of the card numbers. For example you get card #8 in one pack, #7 in the next etc.
That's why you should never buy loose boxes that aren't from a sealed case.
"Yeah, I'll taste it - why not?" BEST PART OF THE VIDEO!
Thanks for the Griffey chase video, my childhood Griffey graded a 9 and I'm perfectly happy with it, just modern stuff for me.
Mines a 7 :(
This is an amazing series Stryker. I started buying cards in ‘89 as well and the Griffey Upper Deck was so next level back then. All I could afford as a kid was Topps or Donruss with the odd Upper Deck pack if I was lucky. I grew up in Toronto and hockey was king, but baseball had that special aura to me. The Griffey and then Frank Thomas in 1990 made baseball cards more appealing to me.
Keep up the great work and I’ll be tuning in to every one of them.
Love this series! Your story growing up was exactly like mine. I only opened one pack of upper deck. You can tell by looking in my boxes. Mainly for the same reason as you. My parents took me to all the flea markets. Til’ this day I still don’t have an upper deck Griffey. Keep up the great videos.
Yes, Yess, YESSSSS!!! It’s finally here!! I can’t wait to watch this on my lunch break!!! You’re the best Stryker , my brother!!
It's probably been said in here but the Griffey was often so OC because of where it was at the corner of the sheet. That is why Upper Deck ended up printing entire sheets of the Griffey.
I remember all the sets your gonna open. Just couldn't afford when they came out lol. I would also say that in 1992 Fleer Ultra changed the game bigtime. So glossy and had the inserts, Man I loved my Fleer!
Love the video. Love watching old wax being open especially the ones that have value in 10 Grade. I have seen people open an entire box and not get a Griffey. So if you want a guarantee to have a Griffey buy the complete set. Please show more of older wax. And Tiffany sets sound awesome. How about a 1986 topps traded Tiffany set. Would love to see you pull a centered Bonds. Keep up the good work
Stryker, I would still send those 2 Griffey’s to Beckett. I sent my child hood UD Griffey rc I had been holding on to for 30 years to Beckett and it received an 8.5+. Sold that puppy for $350. I regret it ever since. But I don’t think I would have gotten as much if it was a PSA 9.
I found one Griffey 89 upper deck rookie in my life "in the wild" someone stashed it away in a box in the late 80s or early 90s that was divided by teams. then i found it while searching that box several years ago. excellent condition. only time i ever owned that legendary card. sold it awhile back
Years ago I bought two low number boxes of 89UD off eBay. I pulled zero Griffey. Got all the other cast of characters (Johnson, Smoltz, Sheffield,etc. Good luck
I’m down for this series. Started collecting right around the same time. Pulled the Randy but never a Griffey.
Awesome stuff! Great way to start the Griffey series. The UD rookie is still on my bucket list. Excited to see the other videos.
Wow what a video. I can say that you have the most informative baseball card breakdowns in the hobby by far. Thank you for spending so much time on making unbelievable content and once again making a chase card video that takes me back to my childhood. Ken Griffey Jr is my favorite player all time and remember buying 2 hobby boxes of 1989 donruss and not getting one rated rookie. I wish you all the luck in your endeavors and can't wait for the next Griffey Jr video. I have an idea for you if you haven't thought of it, I would love it if you could put together a subscription box of your own for the slammers. I know they would sell like hot cakes. Thank you for all you do for the hobby!
The first pack of cards I remember getting was 89’ UD. Crazy it was 30+ yrs ago. Good luck 👍🏻
In my life I opened 3 boxes of low number and never pulled a Griffey and then in the mid 90s I bought half a box of high number and got 2 off centered Griffey’s in the same pack and then another in a separate pack … all we’re about 75/25 with centering wish I had a video of that day but RUclips probably wasn’t even a thought
The football is high series I think cause he’s with the rangers on that card
I knew about the Tiffany and Fleer glossy from Beckett Baseball Card Monthly lol. That's how I found out about my Fleer Glossy Jr rookie lol. My uncle gave it to me in 1989 and I finally found out two years later when I bought my first Beckett
Kirk Gibson hit a ball out of Tiger Stadium and had a 4 homer game. Definitely a legend. You should definitely do more series like this.
I will watch the whole series. And im surprised you found the tiffany. Pretty cool man.
Super fun! The Griffey OC issues were a bummer. Excited to see the next videos in the HUNT!
Really love the idea of this entire series brother!!! Love the idea itself!! Excited for the Tiffany, Topps Finest Rare Insert, & the Fleer Glossy!! That Topps Finest Super Rare cards was one of my favorites growing up
The 1993 Baseballs Finest was my chase growing up , God I loved that card
Monster Griffey fan so like this series! Excited to see if you get the Tiffany and Glossy
If you watch videos of mass psa submission reveals on the Griffey UD, it’s clear PSA runs extreme pop 10 control on that card.
Nice. I think I may have even mentioned this should be your next chase. I bought a PSA 10 when I started making some $$ but my PSA 8 that I pulled and graded is worth more to me. I pick up a few packs every time I’m in my LCS. Enjoy brother. I’ll be watching
Yes Stryker , looking forward to watching this series !
I watch all your videos and most breaks even if i'm not in it lol Let's Go!!!!!!
Nice break, bring back memories lol...should've flip the gallegos to see if the back was a reverse negative...shoot you got like 4 of them.
Those boxes can be brutal.....No Randy Johnson RC, No John Smoltz RC, No Gary Sheffield RC, only 1 Biggio RC, only 1 Griffey RC, which was way OC. At least you got the 1. On a side note, of course your best bet is to buy the sealed factory sets. You can get 2 sets for the price of a box basically. You are guaranteed 2 of every RC and star that way and they have been in the box versus packs, so you should have nicer cards (better corners). Plus you get the high numbers which include the Ryan football card and the Vizquel RC.
Noticed the Saberhagen. He was hot back when that card was out. Probably should be in the Hall. Multiple Cy Youngs.
Nice … I’ve always been curious about this type of hunt … great post !!
Just found a factory sealed complete set in my closet. Forgot I even had it.
Love the hat. Got Tigers!
Go Tigers! 🤦
great choice for a video... thanks for sharing
I always wanted the Frank Thomas upper deck card when I was a kid. Finally got and can’t find it. Good luck brother
Get them check lists graded..
I opened a box of 89 donuts and pulled two Ken Griffey jr rookies!
I just realized I said donuts and not donruss 😭
Nice opening of the Griffey series! I swear upperdeck ✂️ most of the Griffeys OC on purpose. Makes the chase longer.
Hopefully you go back through your stack......You pulled Bruce Sutter, but you didn't pull Lee Smith who is a HOFer, and you grabbed Kirk Gibson but not Andre Dawson. You pulled the second Will Clark you saw, but left the first one, and you left behind a Tony Gwynn and Paul Molitor in the same pack as the second Clark you pulled, lol. Talking and opening, harder than it looks, haha.
This is where I go for boxes that are way too expensive for my own blood. Why is it so therapeutic when I see packs being open?
let the hunt begin!
Living off of cat food. Nothing wrong with that lol. Charlie Kelly style
With PSA currently only offering $200-$300 submission levels how long do you think until you can submit at a lower rate and how long to get those cards back in your hand?
2027
Stryker needs to grow a Goose Gossage ‘stache
Love it man im gettin nervous that we are headed towards another junk wax era but just not as extreme as 87-92 excited to see the tiffany stuff man good luck
Oh man I hope so! It would solve the scalper issues instantly. I say turn the presses up to 11! for like 3 yrs. then go back to shorter runs
I think that's totally what's going on. Not getting much this year other than a rando blaster here and there for pure entertainment.
The nostalgia factor on this is a 10. Being a white sox fan as a kid and meeting “officer” Karkovice🤣 dude had a cannon for an arm.
Awesome Video Stryker!! Nice break from the modern Stuff! Keep them going
Love the series! Keep em going!!
I’ve picked this whole set up at a flea market for 30 bucks I thought it was a great With the Griffey alone
This series is going to be epic
NOLAN RYAN PSA SUPERCOLLECTOR!!!!! LETS GET THEM IN ALL IN 10'S...THEN WE GOTTA TALK BROTHER!!
Imagine how big it would have been if frank thomas would have been in the 90 upper deck set!
“I’m pretty sure everyone is a Randy fan.” John Kruk is definitely NOT a Randy fan 🤣
Awesome video bro, I loved these cards glad I kept 2 boxes sealed
*** STRYKER *** There are 2 checklists in this set that have the Griffey RC listed on them. One is #27 and the other is just one of main checklists for the set at the end. Both can bring some money if graded a PSA 10. I think checklist #27 (Star Rookies) has a very low pop, like 18-20, and the last one sold for $300. Should probably pull those, lol.
Even a Griffey and PSA eight is selling for $90-$100. I think the one out of your complete set would at least be an 8 even though it’s off-center a little bit as long as the corners are good
I noticed the Griffey also has some white specs on the front. Will that affect the grading also?
Very nice Griffeys!
If you actually decide to grade any of these, make sure to go over them again first. Any cards that were in contact with the holo team logo stickers in the pack have a very good chance of having a faint circular impression. It's hard to see unless you look for it. But it can destroy your grades. I've seen cards that looked like certain 9s come back as 5s and 6s
I've seen many boxes of waxes opened without a single Jr in them
How many different round hologram teams did you get
High has Nolan throwing a football
I've gotten as many as seven from one box
Nolan Ryan with the football is in the high series.
THKS
Sil "I'm in every pack" Campusano
That hurt, cool video though thanks for sharing
That's exactly what mine looks like
Many feel the junk wax was 87-94? I usually go with 88-93.
I just recently found my ‘89 Donruss & ‘89 Topps both in great condition and my parents house, as well as many other greats. But how do I tell if my ‘89 Topps is a Tiffany or not??? I guess you’ll probably planning on telling us when you do that video but in case not can you please tell us about that in the video cuz as far as I can find online you have to compare the 2 and then you can tell but I don’t have one to compare it to.
Regular Topps traded is bright white border. The Tiffany is off white border and glossy
@@MIKESMITH-rp2rs thank you so much Mike!
Hey would like to know if 2021 bowman is good to buy to get back in to it all because since I started watching u I want to get back in to it all now
When u don't put Dave Parker in the good card pile ::((
How do you tell if it’s off centered?
Pulled out at a Will Clark and Steve Sax but completely ignored Paul Molitar…
I hate that Griffey is card #1 in the sealed complete set and is on the end.. the one I bought was dinged and wrinkled while every other card in the set was mint... uggh...
My local CS has a griffey psa 10 for $110.
The coalition on this box is horrible. You already have 5 Sil Campusano after about 11 packs
Its a shame upper deck isn't still in the game
What fun is in just buying the cards you want all the time? The whole purpose n fun in chasing the cards you want is in the hunt itself yes, no, maybe, sometimes, always, never? Yes I agree that can get to be a bit expensive but in the end what would you wind up paying for your chase cards if you just went out to buy that gem you want?
I dont like gloves either because you could snag the card on the glove and destroy the card
its the hologram that screws you... they were so overproduced and rushed, quality is crap
Dave Parker was better than Kirk Gibson
LETS GET GRIFFEY 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I disagree, it the 1989 Fleer Randy Johnson Marlboro. You got lucky, upperdeck 89 is notorious for stuck cards tearing?
no repect for the jerome walton? Boooo...
Your odds are not correct because usually only the best copies get graded. I opened a box and got 2 Griffey’s but I didn’t get them graded because I knew I had no chance at a 9 or 10.
Please let me know the formula that I should use to determine the number of people that chose to not submit because they knew that there was no chance of a 9 or 10. I'll add it to the description of the video as a addendum if it's an accurate representation.
@@StrykerBreaks I don’t have a formula, but your chances of getting a 9 or 10 are pretty low when you open a box. The PSA website has a great article about all the problems to look for before submitting a Griffey.
I'm guessing this is your first box of 1989 Upper Deck that you have opened. Your comments about the print quality have me scratching my head. Upper Deck didn't have print issues or flaws in 1989 hence the "Premium" baseball card company claim. I get that we all have our own experiences but I opened like 15 of these boxes over my collecting in the 80's and 90's and probably 100+ packs and never had a single print issue.
Dale Murphy reversed
What am I missing here? It costs $200 per card with PSA right now and those Nolan Ryans are worth about $90 in a PSA 10.
