Modern Unopened Premium Baseball Card Motherload Hits Ebay

Growing up as a kid, I remember when the 1989 Upper Deck baseball card product revolutionized baseball cards. Soon after 1990 Leaf hit the shelf and one upped the competition. However there was nothing as amazing as when the Topps company released it’s 1993 Topps Finest baseball card product with refractor technology and a $25 a pack price point. Only 4,000 12 box cases were made in an era in which millions of cards were produced each year. The big seller were the first of it’s kind refractors which fell one per box and were limited to 241 produced of each player. The cards themselves are rarely seen anymore, let alone unopened product. So it was absolutely amazing to see this lot of sealed 1993 Topps Finest when checking out Ebay the other day. The price tag is already well into the multi-thousands and I would only expect it to go up.

UPDATE: YOU WILL NOT BELIEVE HOW MUCH THIS SOLD FOR

VIDEO: Doug Flynn Autographs His 1986 Topps Card For The First Time In 25 Years

Former big leaguer Doug Flynn played for five teams in his big league career. His final season came in 1985 in which he played 9 games with the Montreal Expos and 32 games with the Detroit Tigers. His time with the Tigers produced this 1986 Topps Baseball Card In His Detroit Tigers Uniform. For nearly 25 years, Flynn refused to autograph the card. In the video below, Flynn talks about why he decided not to sign the card, how Johnny Bench talked him into signing five of them during a charity event, and whether or not he will ever sign the card again. It’s a pretty cool interview and story. Since the video was made, Flynn has agreed to sign the card for a $400 donation to the Childrens Charity Fund of the Blue Grass.
