Many sets have claimed to be game-changers. 1989 Upper Deck Baseball actually did change the card game. Boasting high-quality card stock, anti-counterfeiting holograms and a then-unheard-of $1.00 per pack price tag, the set ushered in a new era for baseball cards and the rest of the hobby. Featuring a checklist of 800-cards and released in two (2) different series' throughout the course of the season, the first of which was cards 1-700, the second series, known as the "high number series" covers the final 100-cards though packs contained cardboard from both sets in them. Featuring a total of 36 packs on the interior, possibly housing the key rookie card of Ken Griffey Jr., offered here is this complete and BBCE wax box of Upper Deck's 1989 baseball release. This one and its contents, recently examined and certified by BBCE, survives in admirable condition with some very light surface wear over all the sides, that is heaviest on the bottom and top lid, the lid also has a small piece of tape affixed to it as well. Sporting just light wear to the edges and corners, the box has been sealed with BBCE shrink wrap, with the firm’s identifying label and tamper-proof hologram affixed to the underside, the box offers numerous possibilities for whoever will become our lucky winning bidder and the box's new owner!
