My friends…1990 Donruss Griffeys are out here selling for $900 at auction.

I was born in the ‘80s so I’ve possessed dozens of copies of this card during my lifetime. This set was horrendously mass-produced and it’s not even like it had a ton of condition issues. It’s just everywhere.

Who’s spending $900 for this card? Is it under-30 tech bros who are getting into sports cards as an investment and hear ‘second-year Griffey’ and assume it’s like a 1953 Topps Mantle? Can someone shed light on what’s happening here? JR Fickle? Anyone?

I’m a deeply unserious collector.

1996 Score Dugout Collection Artist’s Proof, in case you were wondering.

Here’s a great example of Pinnacle photo selection dovetailing perfectly with parallel design. Ron Gant looks like he just got fooled by a sinker that broke 12-to-6 and all he can do is laugh at himself.

After two years of scoping out eBay and Discogs, I was finally able to land a sealed original press vinyl copy of Public Enemy’s 1989 album “Fear of a Black Planet” in great condition and for a very reasonable price.

The next step is to send this vinyl off to VMG for grading. Public Enemy’s music is art as much as it is music, and this album deserves to be encapsulated and displayed like a classic painting.

I love a good color match parallel of a solid wide receiver, so this card checks all the boxes. Mirror Blue versions were inserted 1:199 packs.
