Not the lottery, but I did get divorced not too long ago so it does feel like I've got some extra spending cash these days. I'd like to thank you for posting your pics of the 2006 Ultimate Buy Back too. I was able to match the UD serial number sequence on this one with the one you've posted pics of and it helped put my mind at ease a little that it was a legit copy.

I have been looking for a long time for the UD 5th anniversary jumbo card. I have the regular sized one and a 8.5x11 one but I've never been able to find the 3.5. Does anyone know how rare it is? Anyone be willing to part with one?

Thanks MP. I am in and out of collecting Griffeys all the time. I get the itch every now and then and then I usually tap out again for awhile(been collecting since his rookie year). This one is always in the back of my mind though, maybe because I have really never seen it available. I checked Ebay, but seems pretty dried up for Griffey in general. Any ideas where else I might look?
