Junior Junkie's Most Wanted

What used to be a meticulously-curated list of cards has now become a list of exclusion.  In other words, I need whatever Griffeys are not listed HERE.

If you are checking this list as part of a trade, fear not!  I still love duplicates, especially condition upgrades, oddballs, and variants.  I’m no snob.

Sorry – it just got too hard managing both the positive and the negative, not to mention the fact that a complete list of Griffeys I don’t have is virtually impossible.

    Just a heads-up...the only difference between the 1990 Fleer and the 1990 Fleer Canadian is the copyright line. No French words, no difference in cardstock or anything besides the copyright. If I had known that, I wouldn't have bought the "Canadian" version of Kurt Stillwell last year online.

      Well that's a let down.

      Still, be that as it may, if it has a difference it must be in the collection....

      I'm so jealous. That was a $2000 card at one time.

    Brad and I must be on the same wavelength... that was the #1 card on your wantlist that stood out. I really, really, really, really, really want the 1993 Tony Gwynn Finest Refractor.

      It's hard to say with 1/1 cards, but you'll get a good idea from eBay or by looking it up in Beckett (do they list 1-offs?). I'd imagine it's worth a couple hundred dollars. Wanna trade for it?

    Shoot me an email (can't seem to find yours). Have a Griffey item you might be interested in (it's low end, don't worry).

    Junkie, got your note on my blog about the Rolling Stones insert, I am working on a trade that includes it but if it falls through I will let you know. Also, I couldn't track down your email, shoot it my way and maybe we can work out a trade sometime soon.

    Hey Junkie, I was just going through my Griffey cards I collected from 1991 -1997. It was fun seeing them again. About 8 years ago I sold about 90% of my non- Griffey stuff, and did pretty well. Glad I did, because prices on ebay are low, low, low these days! Most of my Griffey stuff that was worth some good money in the '90's are dollar cards now!
    Boy I sure loved collecting Griffey's back then! I especially enjoyed collecting the oddball stuff! But your collection blows mine away!!
    It looks like I have some 60+ cards that aren't on your list. My problem(s) is, I have never traded away a Griffey card before, and I don't have much in duplicates...what's a guy to do??
    Here is a sample of some I have..not on your list...
    '89 Pacific Cards + Comics #'s 5, 10,11 and 18. I do have 2 #10's
    '89 Star Blue/white #8 #11
    '90 Star Blue/white 11 card complete set. I have extra #'s 2,3,4,5,8,9,9, &11.
    '90 Star Yellow/white #'s 1,2,3,4 &9.
    '90 Star Teal/white #'s 2,6,10.
    '90 Topps Sticker #49.
    I also have 11 different '89 Broders and 5 different '90 Broders.
    And more...
    I'm kind of thinking of only keeping my strong rookies, inserts (and oddballs???) I'm kind of lost and not sure what to do!
    Any ideas??

      I never recommend trading away anything you even remotely like. Also, you may notice I don't bring up Star often on this blog as frankly I don't know much about it. I would recommend checking prices online in places like ebay and comc, then selling them either as a package or individually if they are worth a lot of money.

      And if you're interested in a trade, email me at tjv504 at gmail dot com. Maybe we can work something out....

      Thanks for reading!
