Passed 1,000 Unique Griffey’s!

Picked back up collecting a few years ago. Only collect Griffey. Mostly been buying via Facebook groups and trading with grown-ass dorks like me over the internet.

Because my wife doesn’t care, I’m showing off to you.

Just sorted a bunch of new oddballs. Counted, and have 1,242 unique cards as of today!

A few thoughts:

-oddballs are great. Food giveaway cards, Valentine’s Day, stickers, etc.

-Early 90’s score inserts rock

-Anything in a Red’s jersey sucks. White Sox jersey cards deserve to be burned.

-Single parallel sets like electric diamond and Topps Gold were the good old days. We didn’t know how good we had it.

-Binders are cool.

-Cards are meant to be enjoyed.

-I have literally no idea how to sort these.

2004 Griffey auto from Japan

Been living in Japan for three months. Wife popped into a card shop in Yokohama and got this for me.

She knows nothing about cards other than I only collect Griffey Jr. This was the only one that they had. She paid 22,000 yen (~$136 usd).

Looks like a great deal. Which led me to research prices here versus home (I’m Canadian). Across the board, anything that isn’t Ohtani (screw that guy: sincerely, a Jays fan), is wildly underpriced versus sales comps.

Supposedly the market for MLB here simply isn’t as strong.

Anyway, mostly sharing a cool Griffey I got. But, also, if you’re ever visiting Japan, pop into a card shop or two. Seems like there’s a good arbitrage opportunity for semi-premium cards.
