1989 Upper Deck Complete Factory set sealed in box (Griffey's RC was #1 in the set). Got it for my 11th birthday and never opened it. Twenty years later it's worth less than the day I got it.
In 1993, UD had "Silver Signature" and "Gold Signature" cards. For a while, the Nolan Ryan Gold was worth $250 bucks in its year of issue. I had dozens of Silver Signatures (one per pack). I think the only Gold I ever got was Rondell White. Mother****er.
I think I have a George Brett SS. It was worth like $6 once.
