This one for sure was never made, unfortunately. Even though there are Plates for it! 🤷♂️ All we have is the Box Cut from the side of the Retail Blaster Box.

After years of digging and many, many inquires to several OG Griffey collectors, can we finally all agree that the Autographed version of this card was never made and Does NOT Exist? No one has a photo. No one has ever owned the card, nor have they seen it, yet it is still listed on every...
Michael,
I've always wondered about these every time you post them. The 1/3 is the Gold-Bordered Parallel /50, and the other two (2/3, and 3/3) are the regular inserts. Did Upper Deck mess up on these? There's no documented mention of there being a Gold Parallel released as one of the...
Were either one of these yours at one time? The Old Judge is 2/5, and the "Base" is 3/5.
Unbelievable that extremely low print run, On-Card Autos like these haven't taken off. Yes, there are thousands of Autos of his in the 2000s, but only a handful that look this good and are this limited...
I can't believe this one still eludes me to this day! The simplicity of the card's design, the photo UD used, the On-Card Auto, and scarcity at /25 make this one of his best early 2000s Autos for sure! [emoji173]️

Speaking of Executive Samples, I was the lucky winner on this complete set of 1997 Zenith Z-Team Executives awhile back, and I'm still looking for a Clemens and Larry Walker collector to take these. All the others have already been sold. If someone can point me in the right direction or point...
I'm with Jack Straw on this one. I've never seen, nor have I heard of this card for Griffey, and I've been actively collecting him since 1993 with only 2 years off from 2000 to 2002. This, however, doesn't mean it's not legit.
With how much the value of sports cards have gone up these past 5...
I think it may just be extremely off-centered and miscut. The back is a good giveaway as well, with the UD copyright info higher than it is on yours and all others I've seen. Kind of a bummer on a card that's on this level.

From the research (and search) I've done, no one has seen it or knows if it exists. I have it on my master list as "May Not Exist."
There were several mid-late 2000s Griffey cards that have never surfaced or cards that have surfaced that were never announced.
Super weird.

The numbering definitely looks different than others I've seen, and the Max Auto is a bit bigger.

Pretty healthy sale, that's for sure! Unfortunately, I feel that it would have gone for a lot more at the height of the Covid boom, when everyone didn't have to pay their rent/mortgage and got extra money if they were unemployed. Crazy times we saw.
Still...a very healthy sale!

I remember Birchler well. Back in the day for sure. That's one helluva Christmas Gift! [emoji7]

Stunning, Michael! Thank you for sharing these. Most I haven't seen in a long time.
Do you have a picture of the back of the '05 Topps Rookie Cup Reprint Gold Refractor 1/1? Such an absolutely beautiful card!
I knew you had the '06 Finest White Framed XFractor 1/1....Stunning! I have its...

Thanks for the post!
I've seen this one for the past few months and the seller won't budge on the price unfortunately.
I will continue to patiently wait. 👍

Hello everyone! I'm hoping that by posting this, some of you will be able to help myself and a fellow Griffey Jr collector out. We are both trying to complete the 90 card Trivia Card set that were inserted in 1:3 series 1 packs of the 1997 Upper Deck Baseball set. These have a cameo of Ken...
I was finally able to add this to my collection this past year after owning the non-serial numbered version forever! Happy man! I'm only missing the '99 Red Label /25 to own all 9 red labels from '98-'99. Beautiful cards!

The press proof does have a bronze type of finish and has no indication on the back that it is a press proof. It took me a LONG time to find this one back in the day!!

I was wondering if and when someone would ask about this one! Contrary to some research out there, with ALL the research I've done on these, there are ONLY 30 of these Emerald Season cards. The emerald cards were 10% of the production line from a total of 300. 20% were the purple and 70% went to...
