Does anyone have the complete checklist of pre-2000 Griffey autographs handy? Or just know off-hand how many there are? Isn't it like 40-something cards?
Thanks!
Thanks!
Also, the 1998 Upper Deck Most Memorable Home Runs Jumbo set - what are the odds of pulling a Junior Autograph from one? I recently got a a sealed one for the cards but I was wondering if it's worth it to bust open the box.

I've been putting together a Griffey-only Frankenset for the past few months. If you don't know what a Frankenset is and you can't figure it out from the name, I explain it here: http://thejuniorjunkie.blogspot.com/2015/10/the-great-griffey-frankenset-page-1.html
