I have spent more than that, but it has to be a HOFer, or someone I think is a future HOFer. I don't understand spending $100, or more, on some of the Bowman products for a card of a player in A Ball.

Although there are oddball sized cards that don't fit perfectly, there's typically something out there that's close enough. as for magnetics, i'm probably one of the only guys who doesn't use one touch magnetics ;)<br /><br />adam sanders - plus they make 330ct. (or maybe it's 300ct.) boxes that fit the topps big and 89b cards perfectly.<br /><br />sean - i agree with your autograph statement. plus it's just something different.<br /><br />nick vossbrink - they make 2 pocket binder pages that fit these perfectly.<br /><br />angus - i don't discriminate against size either... which opens more doors for us in the hobby. unfortunately i have other things that hold me back like non-licensed cards and sticker-graphs.<br /><br />commishbob - i was hoping to add the ripken too, but that sold for about 30% more than the Griffey.<br /><br />twitch - the good news is they're much more affordable these days than 10 years ago. maybe in a few years they'll come down a little more. #imaketypostoo<br /><br />matt - thanks!Fujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749100861086458307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-8202439046891935712019-01-11T06:57:45.728-08:002019-01-11T06:57:45.728-08:00Wow, those are some nice Griffey cards!

I'm not really a box topper collector but the ones like Topps Big, 89 Bowman, and the early Topps cards I'm completely fine with. My storage solution for them is to keep them in top loaders or to put a penny sleeve on each end of the card when it goes in the box.Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05300769076865200758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-4534362859860449022019-01-10T16:12:17.340-08:002019-01-10T16:12:17.340-08:00Great looking Griffey autos!

I have been buying some oversized bot topper cards lately, and I'd buy more if I had the right storage supplies.
