Thanks for the kind words everybody. He used to sell packs there back in the day, but he was also a collector. He said he just brought some boxes into the shop that he's had in his house.

What's your problem pine tar?

No problem. Truly a cool story.
Not everyone can say "I went the barberdhop to get a hair cut, and I come out with a Ken Griffey Jr auto".

So cool story.....tell it again bro :p

I sold my Mantle auto from that set a few years ago, wishing I had it back.

I sold my Mantle/Griffey dual signed card that I personally pulled and it is the only card I have ever regretted selling. I know who has it but he will never sell it back to me as it is forever entrenched in his own collection.

Amazing hit!

Is Griffey hiding something under his hat? That thing looks like a stovepipe!

I wonder what the odds of pulling that, the Mantle or the dual back then were?

I asked that, also curious what are the odds for the three versions.

Also, I'm reading this was in series 1? Also that there were an East, Central and West release, so was it in all three?

Thanks everyone again for the kind words. The odds of pulling either of the three autographs are 1:3,390 packs. The box I opened was a retail box.
