Second Look: 1989 Upper Deck Baseball
As collectors, it seems we’re always chasing something. Usually it’s a key card for the PC or one for a set. With this mentality, we sometimes overlook other parts of a set that are just as important. We call this piece and future contributions like it “Second Look” which is a snapshot look at some underappreciated sets or sets that may just be forgotten . Some sets that we cover will be obvious, others may surprise you. One of the first sets that comes to mind is 1989 Upper Deck Baseball. While I didn’t start collecting until 1994, this is one of the first complete sets I bought because of the Rookie Cards and players in the then-premium set.
We all know, love and adore the iconic Ken Griffey Jr. RC. But there are other players and cards that carry their own significant importance over the course of the 800-card 1989 Upper Deck Baseball checklist.
Top 1989 Upper Deck Baseball Rookie Cards
First, let’s look at some Hall Of Famer RCs:
#17 John Smoltz
A 2015 Hall Of Fame Inductee who was a World Series champion, eight-time All-Star, NLCS MVP and worked both as a starter and reliever where he dominated in both spots.
#25 Randy Johnson
Also inducted into Cooperstown in 2014, Johnson’s career consisted of over 300 wins, a no-hitter and a perfect game. He was a 10 time All-Star and five-time Cy Young winner. Johnson even threw in a World Series MVP and champion for good measure.
#273 Craig Biggio
A 2015 Hall Of Fame Inductee who was a 7x All-Star, 4x Gold Glove winner, and a 5x Silver Slugger Winner. Biggio also embodied what it meant to be a ballplayer in the 90s with his no-nonsense play and attitude toward the game.
These players seem to miss the hobby spotlight from this set despite their brilliant careers and, undoubtedly, from being overshadowed by the Griffey card.
Aside from this trio of Hall of Famers, there are a few other notable rookies in this set:
#13 Gary Sheffield
Sheffield played for eight teams and was a nine-time All-Star, a World Series champion, and finished with more than 500 career home runs. He also was a five-time Silver Slugger Award winner.
#24 Dante Bichette
Known best for his time in Colorado, Bichette was a four-time All-Star, Silver Slugger winner and the NL Home Run champion in 1995.
#755 Jim Abbott
His story is one of the best in baseball history, taking a situation where he was born with one hand and learning to compete on the mound. He pitched for several teams including the Yankees, for whom he hurled a no-hitter in 1993.
On top of these cards, there were also a few error cards to chase in the set as well including the most popular and valuable of the group, card #357, the Dale Murphy reverse negative card.
While 1989 Upper Deck Baseball is a historic release, it still feels so underappreciated. It has Hall Of Fame RCs and some fun errors to chase. It’s also filled with veteran stars. It’s a large-sized set with the High Series update box. And, of course, the iconic 1989 Upper Deck Griffey Jr. Rookie Card.

So glad you included Bichette! He is definitely an underrated player.
We can’t forget that the 1989 Upper Deck set was the first premium set and put companies like Beckett on the map!
Cards 1-99, including the Griffey RC can be found with R or TM in the green area beside of the team logos and Star Rookie logo. The R versions seem to be a lot more scarce.
Once, I bought the factory set, but it wasn’t sealed. The only missing card was the Griffey RC. Totally explains the $20 price point, and with all the other hall of famers and rookies, it was still worth it. Plus it has the iconic card of Nolan Ryan throwing a football.
Nice article, Matthew. Besides the Griffey, I remember that Sheffield card being on a lot of dealer tables, too.
This was the beginning of Premium Baseball cards. These cards were $1.00 a pack. When Topps, Donruss, Fleer, & Bowman were only 50 cents.
