Hall of Famer. Offered here is an example of Ken Griffey, Jr.'s universally coveted 1989 Upper Deck Rookie Card, along with the Polaroid photograph that served as the design basis for this forever-memorable portrayal of "The Kid." Regarded as a milestone of card-producing innovation and technology, '89 Upper Deck is the set that gave the world this iconic rookie card, and forever altered the perception of cards as trivial and ephemeral paper diversions. As a herald of a trend that was destined to gain forceful momentum, this likeness of the beloved Griffey holds a singular place in the history of hobby development, and this fabulous framed piece stands as the ideal souvenir of that important period.
