I've been toying with the idea too. Taking good pics of the front/back of each and cataloging it to a website.

Just send em to COMC and have them do it. $.20/card is well worth the time you'd spend cataloging your collection on your own. You don't have to list them for sale and I believe they store them for free. If it's stuff you have just sitting in a box, why not? My 2 pesos...

I can't believe PWCC Auctions posted this. I also can't believe that PSA authenticated this. This is clearly a fake. It's missing the matching COA and the hologram number on the back isn't in line with the others. Awful.

PSA is only authenticating the auto, not that it's authentic buyback. Not that anyone buying it is thinking that. They did the same thing with my peter Max auto.
Joey, it's a fake. It's a fake auto too I'd bet. If Griffey auto'd it, who wrote the 20 years and the serial number on the front, as well as the hologram sticker on the back? The whole thing is a fake. The auto doesn't look good to me.

Just my observation as someone who knows Griffey's sig pretty well. It looks like someone tried really hard to fake the sig. The sloping/angle looks too forced and inconsistent, and the "G" is wrong. At the bottom of the "G" it should loop the opposite direction. Also, the "y" is disconnected and re-started from the "iffe." Griffey does the full "riffey" in one fluid motion without picking up the pen and re-setting it.
On another note, it's cool to see peapod and the good doctor still around. A lot of my collection still owes you two a big thanks.

Wow, PWCC is even selling one of the unlicensed/fake '88 SB spirit cards that was errantly graded by PSA. Tsk Tsk.

Think this collection belonged to GriffeySandberg...no wonder he didn't auction them himself. I'd even hazard a guess that the '88 Procards PSA 9 he's got up is a reprint that was graded ages ago. Tons of them around and PSA has gotten better at spotting them these days. None of the authentic versions were centered anywhere close to that one. I hate PSA for just this reason; they cannot be trusted to grade/authenticate anything.

Clearly not authentic. That would be scary to pay top dollar for that.

I don't know if Topps will want to pay for that combo many times so this will remain my best auto card for a while.

I went to a show yesterday near me that was petty big. Mostly vintage, with 1 or 2 good dealers with newer stuff. It's way too funny that 99% of dealers have no Idea about 90s inserts, in particular Griffey. Whenever I ask people if they have any Griffey it's always the same answer, "I've got his 89 so an so". One guy was like I got all his minor league rookies. I'm just thinking to myself Griffey Rookies are essential worthless ( not talking gems). I've not found one dealer who really knows Griffeys true Market. I can't complain as they results in better deals for all of his if we find some nice stuff. Today's modern dealers are 100% focused on game used and autos, kinda sucks when going to shows trying to pick up inserts.

This is what prevents me from shelling out the $ to travel to the Nationals... Or is it different there?
