While some may not consider this a “vintage” item, it remains one of the most important card issues ever produced—featuring the rookie card of one of the most iconic players of the era. In its first attempt at producing a mainstream baseball card set, Upper Deck made a lasting impact by starting their checklist with card #1: the highly sought-after Ken Griffey Jr. rookie card. The 1989 Upper Deck packs were the first to use tamper-evident foil wrapping, a major innovation at the time. The cards themselves also introduced another first: a hologram printed on the back for added security. When the packs debuted, most retailers sold them at $2 each—an eye-popping price compared to the 40–50 cent packs offered by other companies. The hobby was stunned—but the demand for the Griffey Jr. rookie was overwhelming. Even today, this card remains in high demand, with interest consistently outpacing available supply. When you think of the most important sports card issues ever—T206 Tobacco, 1933 Goudey, 1952 Topps—whether you like it or not, 1989 Upper Deck Baseball stands among them as a groundbreaking and transformative release in hobby history. This lot consists of 20 Low Series boxes, each containing 36 packs. All 20 boxes have been wrapped by BBCE as originating from a factory-sealed case.
