Congrats! I wonder how many of those posts had a griffey pic in them? 4,500 or so?

That Prizm 1/1 is not worth much to me as a collector. I don't think I'd pay more than $100 for it, or most of the other Panini cards from this past year and forward. When they lost their license to display team names and logos, that completely ended it for me. I'd rather have a Griffey card numbered to as much as 25 from Topps (with the logos) than a 1/1 Panini card any day. The Panini cards remind of all the unlicensed manufacturers from the 90's that would print players without any team logos. It just looks cheap when the logos are removed or a player is displayed in such a way where the logo cannot be seen. Just my opinion on it. I don't know why collectors pay so much money for this garbage.

I just don't get why people chase these newer Panini cards when there are SO MANY AWESOME Griffey cards from the 90's to pursue. Panini could lose their rights to put player images on cards too, and soon you'll see a refractor 1/1 that just has the name "Griffey Jr." and some color to it, and idiots would pay $1000 for that too. Anyways, that is my rant... It doesn't impact me one way or the other, but I would just like someone to tell me what the appeal is with these products.

It's not the appeal. I agree with you but then again I'm a grad student with limited $. If I had an unlimited bank account I'm sure the logic switches to strictly acquiring every card possible without any budgeting plan. To each his own I guess

 

[murphy17]

Yeah it wasn't too long ago I was a grad student as well with a much more limited budget. Even now though, there are more than enough cards from his playings days (especially the 90's) to pursue that will account for more than enough of one's hobby spending.

In a base Topps release? Never. Griffey mariners jerseys cost 3x that of his Reds jersey. The commercials don't work out if you're cutting up the good stuff to put in $65 boxes. Hell, I'm still annoyed by the bat slices they used in Museum collection instead of jersey patches. That's just egregious.
