BID PER WHAT YOU SEE IN THE PHOTO, NOT THE AI GENERATED TITLES AND DESCRIPTIONS! 1989 Donruss Baseball Grand Slammer 24-Count Retail Box
This is a 1989 Donruss Baseball Grand Slammer retail box containing 24 packs of cards and pieces for the Warren Spahn Hall of Fame puzzle. The 1989 Donruss set is a cornerstone of the late 1980s collecting era, most famous for containing the Ken Griffey Jr. Rated Rookie card (#33). The set also features key rookie cards for Randy Johnson (#42), Curt Schilling (#635), and John Smoltz (#642). The box exterior showcases prominent stars of the period, including Jose Canseco, Cal Ripken Jr., Kirby Puckett, Don Mattingly, and Tim Raines. This specific retail configuration was designed for mass-market distribution and contains fewer packs than the standard 36-pack hobby wax box.
Condition report:
The box is not in its original factory-sealed condition. Clear adhesive tape has been applied to the top flap and multiple side seams to keep the box closed. The yellow cardboard packaging shows moderate shelf wear consistent with age, including noticeable corner softening and crushing on the front-left and front-bottom edges. Edge wear and light creasing are visible across all panels. The white underside of the box features a green circular price sticker marked $50.00, along with light surface soiling and minor indentations. Because the box has been resealed with tape, the presence, integrity, and condition of the internal packs cannot be verified. This item is sold as a collectible display piece or for the potential contents of the unverified packs.
