The countdown is on. The Definitive 1989 Upper Deck Quest launches this Wednesday, May 21st, and collectors are buzzing. The grand prize?

But Brian isn’t stopping there. For every case purchased, M1NT will include a 1989 Upper Deck card. Plus, you’ll have a chance to receive one of five golden tickets, each with a shot at one of these epic prizes:

- Three boxes of 1989 Upper Deck, each valued at USD 500
- A Ken Griffey Jr. Rookie Card in a M1NT Case G1 worth USD 2,000

Brian Pirrip and M1NT are totally redefining the collecting space!! Love the elevated user experience and cards look beautiful in the new cases. The Frosted White is my favorite.
I feel the same about the hobby case. The sleek design is so simple yet perfect. The white is my favorite but the black is growing on me. The G1 launch is going nuclear! 🚀
