1989 Upper Deck Ken Griffey Jr. #1

The card that crowned a new era of card collecting

Upper Deck arrived in 1989 with higher production standards, and the company placed Ken Griffey Jr. at number one in its inaugural set, making this the flagship rookie of a brand-defining release. Griffey went on to a Hall of Fame career, and the card has long stood among the most recognized rookies of the late-1980s hobby. In PSA 8, this copy (cert 07058462) presents as a clean, well-centered example with the strong corners collectors look for at this grade.
