Huge shoutout to [MENTION=2800]chippercards.com[/MENTION] for an AMAZING deal on this tough Griffey.
It's a early relic card and a tough pull, plus being my all time favorite player makes this one (and all of the cards that I've bought from the members here) one that will stay in my PC for years to come.
I thought I would add this because I posted it in another thread.
98' Griffey Red Crusade (#23 out of 25)
A little story about the card:
I pulled this when I was younger and a huge Griffey Fan. I was pretty ecstatic at the time that I pulled my hero Griffey, let alone a limited one. I immediately sealed it and put it in screw-in hard case. The local card shop dealer where I bought the box didn't think much of it and blew me off. It didn't matter though, I just loved the card because it was Griffey. I put it away in my family's safe but always took it out because I loved how it looked. That was a ton of years ago and over time I had forgotten about it. I completely left the hobby as life happened. Fast forward to yesterday, I was cleaning the house when I opened the safe. I saw the card and it brought back a ton of memories - how I would copy Griffey's batting stance when I played as a kid, kick off my cleats with the bat like him, copy his swagger haha, all my jersey numbers had to be #24 , etc, etc. To this day "my number" is always 24. I remember telling myself that this is probably worth nothing...I googled the card and was pretty surprised. For me, it has a ton of sentimental value and I guess monetary too now.
Anyways, I thought this would be a great place to post this as you guys would appreciate the card too. If you guys want more pictures just let me know. The first site I saw about the card was actually TheJuniorJunkie's blog post (http://thejuniorjunkie.blogspot.com/2015/12/1998-donruss-crusade-one-card-to-rule.html) which I found both hilarious and very informative (and directed me to this forum). So thanks to him if he sees this! I'm not quite sure if I'm selling the card yet but I'll let you all know if I do!
