Ken Geiffey Jr. True Rookie Card Debate?
Episode 576: In this episode, I read through an article I came across a while back. The article explains why the 1989 Upper Deck Ken Griffey Jr. is not Griffey's true rookie card; that his only true rookie card is the 1989 Bowman! Say what? Let's check it out!

Awesome Reveal. Finally got my 55 card submission back from CGC. Managed to get 18, 10's.
@@tomose956 Awesome!
👌
Fun box!! ⚾️
@TabiRips They are pretty fun...I'm thinking of getting another...Thanks for watching!
Just out of curiosity why do you grade with CGC? I love their slabs and prices. Any concerns if you want to sell or get out of these cards?
@JeffsCardJourney I just like the look and feel of their slabs. I'm not really worried about resale because I don't plan on selling anything anytime soon. Who knows what the grading space will look like years and years down the road?
I love the slabs. I like the clean look.
@@ladybughummingbird66 Ditto!
I think most of the corners are like that on this one, but it was the best I could find at a decent price
Bottom left corner ding
I have this collection 1to 60 all jordans!! I bought it $80! How much is worth?
@aka-fullgaming No idea. But if you check the sold items on ebay, you should get a good idea.
I have 1 to 60 of this ones all jordan!! How much is worth????
@@aka-fullgaming Nice! Look them up on eBay and filter for Sold Items to get an idea of their value.
These boxes are nice!! ⚾️
@@TabiRips They were pretty fun...I've got two more coming from Target!
Nice boxes, my man! The Skenes pulls were cool! I opened 4 of these from GameStop and did not do well. Was wondering if you did any trading? I love to trade with other collectors. If you do, I would be interested in the Imanaga Xfractor. I have plenty of stuff for trade. Let me know what you think! Take care!
Hit me up via email, or IG with your address
Awesome box! That Beam Team Harper was sick! Those are tough pulls, case hits. Subbed to you! Enjoyed it! Take care!
@@bcs_sportscards Thanks for checking out the video!
All grading companies are subjective! I mean a rare Prizm Wemby rookie that was clearly off centered received a PSA 10!!
@213cards Yes they are. PSA's grading scale allows for 60/40 centering for a Gem Mint 10
I love CGC. They are consistent and should be more respected, but they screwed themselves with so many changes early on (grading scale changes, name change, label change) and they really crushed any hope of make a dent into PSA dominance.
@@terrynewhartjr1093 CGC is my preferred grader, despite all the changes.
Mine too. I think they were all the right decisions, just wish they would have had them from the start. They would be much more respected and accepted across the hobby!
I also collect prototypes. The Jordan is a special card. Congratulations on the CGC 7.
@@monumentray Thank you! Those cards are pretty cool
Bravo on showing your viewers, the grading scales / definitions. I criticize PSA often. They frustrate me all the time. I do think PSA was correct with the 5 grade on this great MJ according to their published grading scale. I also look at the PSA 4 definition as a baseline when they graded an item 4. CGC tends to over-grade. BGS is all over the place. I love the CGC slab
@TJ_Is_Online I've done a fair amount of crossovers. I have found that SGC and BGS cross consistently to CGC either exactly, or within half a grade. PSA crossovers are much more volatile. Sometimes they cross the same; sometimes they're a grade or two different. Thanks fir checking out the video and offering your insights
with your SGC to CGC crossovers, are we talking post PSA acquisition? Since June of this year, I’ve been noticing inconsistency with SGC especially w/ “min size not met”. I should note that 90% of my collection is pre-1970s. Before the PSA acquisition, SGC was pretty much on target with my grading sub expectations.
@@TJ_Is_Online Before the acquisition. It will be interesting to see what happens with one from after the acquisition.
@@thehobbyist1 SGC is now grading more like PSA at least when it comes to vintage. 🤦♂️
Why would you do that crossover? Aside from the fact you like the slab case?
@@matthewtulinski3481 That's really it, for me. I have my PC in CGC slabs. I like their slabs and am comfortable with their grades. There really isn't any more to it. Thanks for checking out the video and asking the question
I feel CSG / CGC have the nicest and clearest slabs in the hobby. Strict and fair grading as well. ✊
@@tsorokopas CGC is my preferred grader for all the reasons you mentioned
When you cross graded did you personally crack them out then send to CGC or did you send the PSA slab to CGC to crack and regrade?
@@ScottSmith-pe8lr I cracked and sent to CGC
They needed to use more tape
They missed a spot
Enjoy the videos! Thanks 👍
@@robertmiles6805 Thank you! Have a great day!
Definitely it's target the go to for this product😊. Thanks for sharing Stay safe 10:52
Thanks for checking out the video and sharing your thoughts!
something about upper deck man i just don't like. they were absolutely successful in the hobby an probably the most dominate for a time but some of their stuff just didn't age well at all. upper deck is like a vast ocean at times. i think thats a part of it for me. especially after 89 and early 90's. there were so many sets it is just hard to navigate now. and the plastering of too many moving parts on the designs. the cards can look more like an ugly magazine cover more then a sports card. like on this kobe, the ud choice logo is just offensive like an ugly mole or scar on a persons face. overall, the kobe is nice. its not a bad card. but i don't love it.
@@fleamarketmixtape3793 Upper Deck did create a ton of sets and individual sets. This isn't my favorite card ever, but as a Kobe collector, one I'll add to the collection
Nice pic ups
@@Austin-pq7mn Thanks!
The gold version of that card is amazing
@@davidDavis-h1e I agree...it's also a lot more expensive! 😄
That's a pretty card man! Love the classic royals jersey and the 75 logo plus the big o has an awesome auto!
The old-timers know how to provide an autograph, that's for sure
Love the Lebron!! 🏀
@TabiRips Definitely my favorite card of the rip!
Great card of The Snake and perfect choice on the narration by J Facenda!
@@greghull3189 Thanks! The first one I bought ended up having a small wrinkle on it, so I had to try again!
Enjoyed the rip! I really like the parallels!
@@TabiRips This product is pretty cool! Thanks for watching!
I remember that eck of cards. I have the Kevin Garnett Rookie card along with the KG/Kobe/Jermaine O'Neal. Cards.
Cool! I haven't opened the pack yet, but I will, soon!
Looks like the bonus cards are the S2 SPs maybe?
@Austin-pq7mn I haven't seen what the SP's look like, but these say "Complete Sets" on the back where it would say Series Two
Nice pick up. Are you going to send any of those in for grading to CGC?
@@Austin-pq7mn I'm sure I will at some point, but not for a while.
Congrats on the Bobby
@@shakascloset1700 Thank you!
Great stuff brother!
@@kamsayabanha9435 Thank you!
The Upper Deck 1997 Crash Michael Jordan card looks amazing! Great collection! Thanks for sharing!
@@edgarvalenzuelavale906 Thanks for watching!
I have the rarest, Jordan card. The problem with it is that the grading service doesn't know enough about it. It is what I was told by the grading service. It's a very rare insert variation. One of it kind.
@@ladybughummingbird66 Wow! Pretty cool! Too bad you haven't been able to grade it
I love that you grade with CGC and stick with it regardless of what the hobby thinks, I am so tired of PSA, good on you to do what you like and I am always happy to watch these videos!
@@kellycollects83 I really like the look of CGC's slabs and how they present the cards. Thanks for checking out the video!
Are you looking to buy cards? I have a bunch of cards I'm trying to sell. BTW, those ohtani cards in the back are awesome.
I'm not buying a whole lot right now. I have some upcoming bills I need to prepare for, but thanks for reaching out. When I do start looking to buy, it will be mostly Kobe Bryant, Shohei Ohtani, Jung-Hoo Lee or Elly De La Cruz
@@thehobbyist1 let me know as I'm sure I have cards of those players
thanks for sharing the video. do you need a graphic artist to work on your YT logo and banner? for a cheap price...
@danzdribble At the moment, I do not; but thanks for asking and thanks for checking out the video!
@@thehobbyist1 i really love to update you logo, with cards inside the TEXT hobbyist.. it will really will look so cool .
@@danzdribble I'll let you know when I'm ready to do something like that. Thanks for reaching out
Just curious. What kind of turnaround time did you get from sending and receiving with Cgc? I'm waiting for some cards to get in the grading process from late September. Tracking says mine have arrived, though
@@thomasformz5159 I think it was around a month. I should have the shipping dates listed in the video description
@thehobbyist1 ah ok all good. Might be longer for me since I'm International
@thomasformz5159 Possibly...and the hurricanes may have had some impact as well. Although, I have not heard if they did.
CGC slabs are awesome. I heard they're a sister company of NGC.
@ladybughummingbird66 Yes, CGC, NGC, NCS, PMG and ASG are all companies under the Certified Collectibles Group (CCG)
50/50 heads up on your title 🥸
I don't have the 50/50 card yet. Hopefully, I get them soon!

@@brentshealer7314 All good!
Pretty sure that pj Washington is numbered I’m not sure
Not numbered, but thanks for lookin' out!
Well done 👍 my friend
@@godisgreat8462 Thank you!
Do you have any idea why some graded cards are enclosed in plastic and some do not?
@LetsStormTheTeaCupRide Not sure, but I think it has to do with the size of the card and the holder they have to use
The Font makes that card.. gangster
@@Swishrips It's pretty sweet. I'm glad I stumbled upon it!
Yeah, big ol like from this guy my friend!!! Smash that!
Very nice submission. CGC holders are awesome there hold make the card pop. Light beautiful art.
@@ladybughummingbird66 I love their slabs; and it's fun getting cards graded!
Couldn't agree more! Great cards and getting CGC cards graded are fun to collect!🎉
The "quick review" didn't work as well as I hoped it would. I'll do something different next time.
I have yet to see anyone pull a yellow reactive wemby
