Saturday 23 July 2016,
I got my winnings from a contest by Corky over at his Pack War blog. I think it was an anniversary contest. It was a simple comment and be entered for random drawings. He had 7 lots of cards or collectibles that each winner got to choose from. I was 2nd place and got to choose second. I chose the lot of 54 Ken Griffey Jr. Cards various years from his career. He added some PC stuff and there was a piece of memorabilia related to the contest that surprised me as a bonus for that lot.
Some of the Griffey Highlights:
1990 Sports Illustrated for Kids card 158 Mariners
1991 Score 841 The Griffeys Mariners
1994 Upper Deck Baseball: 224 Mariners 1 dupe plus a “For Promotional Use Only” version
Unknown year Topps Finest Mariners blank back
1998 Topps Gold Label 100 Mariners
2006 Upper Deck Baseball National Baseball Card Day UD7 Reds
2009 Upper Deck Goudey Mariners Green Back
2012 Sportkings 211 Looks to be Mariners uniform, mostly head shot painting with his signature backwards hat.
2006 Topps ETopps Baseball: 13 Reds in label sealed case 884/999
Plus surprise bonus memorabilia 1996 BP Limited Edition Baseball has Picture of him batting Mariners Uniform on ball and says “Ken Griffey, Jr.” has a faux signature “jr” and says “Junior” Opened box so ball rolls around loose, missing certificate of authenticity advertised on box and missing part of or all of stand, there is just a plastic hook thing with some string cord around it. I guess that was the stand? Don’t know don’t really care. The Ball will eventually find its way to a Jr. Collector anyway.
