Description: Hi! PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY AND IN ITS ENTIRETY! First things, first. This is a Buy It Now Listing. I NEVER offer ANY discount on ANY Buy It Now listing. All my prices are fair because they HAVE to be. This is NOT my hobby. THIS IS HOW I TRY TO EARN A LIVING FOR THE PAST 28 YEARS, INCLUDING THE LAST 24 YEARS ON EBAY. That means I have to sell my items in a timely manner. Otherwise, I will hear my wife ask me "Hey, Jerry, when are you going to make a deposit at the bank?" You are buying a factory sealed 1989 Classic Orange Baseball Card Set. This 50 card set--see the checklist on the back photo--features the rarest rookie card of Ken Griffey, Jr. (And the rarest rookie card of Gary Sheffield.) (The set was numbered 101 to 150 because there were 100 Classic cards before that so this was a continuation of the 1989 Classic series that began with the Blue board game 100-card set earlier in the year. The borders of the 1987 original Classic Green board game 100-card set were, well, green! (I probably sold more than 75 Green Classic sets at card shows in 1987 and 1988. (Try finding factory sealed 1987 Green sets now! I do have one on eBay currently!) The set is shrink wrapped inside the box. In addition to the rarest rookie cards of Griffey and Sheffield, the Orange set includes stars like Bo Jackson, Roger Clemens, Mark McGwire (his RC is in the 1987 Classic Yellow set), Wade Boggs, Roberto Alomar, Fred McGriff and a guy named Barry Bonds. By the way, only 250,000 Orange sets were made. (At one time back in 1990, I once owned more than 2,000 sets. For real. I am leaving each of my four children a minimum of six 24-set cases--144 sets each.) Companies like Topps, Fleer and Donruss and Upper Deck probably made 10 to 25 times that during 1989. The price of this hard to find set--it is now 35 years old--is just $28.88! Not a penny more, not a penny less. The rules) 1) No discount. 2) Please add $7.85 for insured shipping if you live in the continental U.S. 3) I also ship worldwide through eBay's International . Shipping Program. Check eBay for details. 4) I ship within three days of purchase. 5) Paypal preferred but other forms of payment are fine, too. 6) BUY WITH COMPLETE CONFIDENCE. I am proud of my feedback on Ebay, encompassing more than 7,700 separate buy and sell transactions over the past 23 years. 7) I specialize in rare but affordable memorabilia and collectibles, focusing primarily on sports cards, rare Beanie Babies, framed and unframed photos, Marilyn Monroe memorabilia (somebody has to do it!) and Pokemon cards and plush. 8) the most important rule--DON'T FORGET RULE NUMBER ONE. Check out my other items on Ebay. You might find something else you like. If you have any questions, let me know. Thanks for stopping by. Stay safe. Jerry
