Description
1998 Upper Deck Ken Griffey Jr. (A Piece of the Action-Material Autographed) #KGS SGC NM/MT 8, Auto 10 - #'d 8/24. Ken Griffey Jr., a generational talent and one of baseball's most iconic figures, defined the 1990s with his effortless swing, Gold Glove defense, and magnetic presence on and off the field. The 1998 Upper Deck A Piece of the Action Material Autographed card, #KGS, stands as a revolutionary release in hobby history-one of the first mainstream cards to combine a game-used jersey patch with a bold, on-card autograph. Limited to just 24 hand-numbered copies, the card features an authentic piece of Griffey's game-worn jersey, embedding part of his playing legacy into a striking design that set a new benchmark for premium sports cards.What makes this card even more compelling is the crisp, blue-ink autograph signed directly onto the card-bringing fans and collectors closer to the athlete than ever before. At a time when memorabilia and autographs were often separate, this card helped forge a new path by integrating both elements in one high-end collectible, influencing the future direction of the hobby and laying the groundwork for today's most coveted modern releases. Graded SGC NM/MT 8, Auto 10, it remains not only a tribute to Griffey's greatness but also a milestone in the evolution of game-used and autographed cards. Limited edition - #8/24.
