What I do remember is buying a ton of 1989 Topps and Bowman... loved those odd sized Bowman cards.Fujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749100861086458307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-81150802525345658032012-05-08T08:21:42.718-07:002012-05-08T08:21:42.718-07:00Mine was the 1989 Upper Deck Ken Griffey Jr. rooki...Mine was the 1989 Upper Deck Ken Griffey Jr. rookie card. I had started collecting in 1988 and as an eight year old kid I couldn't justify buying one pack of Upper Deck for the price of 2 or 3 Topps packs so I didn't buy any Upper Deck. Griffey went on to become my favorite player and I tracked down all of his other rookie cards but it wasn't until 1998, almost 9 years later that I picked up the 1989 Upper Deck card for $150 bucks at my local card shop. It's still one of my favorite cards!Daniel Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00549258123389659977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-38457542553688725392012-04-22T07:53:14.848-07:002012-04-22T07:53:14.848-07:00I love that product.

You can pull an autograph from a pack!?!?" <br />Naive? Yes.<br />The packs were out of my $1 limit imposed by my parents.<br />I always wanted one and still do, but honestly, it scares me to pick it up. If I do, what's the next card to chase from my childhood? I guess that's my dilemma...TakaTanakaGiantshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12647091109020497768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-522498896639057842012-04-21T23:17:06.424-07:002012-04-21T23:17:06.424-07:00Great post... and congratulations on your find.

He appreciated it way more than I ever will. The 1971 is a by far better card, I have that one and it is not going anywhere.jacobmrleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13991748868368917576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-25778578686746075782012-04-20T11:17:11.789-07:002012-04-20T11:17:11.789-07:00Hmmm, that's a good one.

That was because it was my first bindered set and Thomas was card #1 while Griffey was...well Griffey. Thomas was pack pulled by me back then - Griffey was traded to me by a blogger a year or so back when I started trying that set again.SpastikMoosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13374559066158419166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-34776548815861605402012-04-20T09:57:04.830-07:002012-04-20T09:57:04.830-07:001950 Bowman Roy Campanella.
