1998 SkyBox E-X 2001 Ken Griffey Jr. (Essential Credentials Now)
#10 PSA Mint 9 - #'d 6/10. It's been called Junior's best
baseball card, even though only a scant few collectors have had the
opportunity to see one in the flesh. Just ten of these
ultra-rarities were inserted into 1998 SkyBox packs and this is
number four of that limited edition, stamped in silver on card
verso. It may not be immediately apparent from our catalog imagery,
but the part of the card bearing the printed text on card obverse
is transparent green material, which then gives way to solid green
and sparkling gold as the eye moves right. Even by today's
standards, this is cutting-edge trading card technology, but in
1998 this was absolutely mind-blowing design.We should keep in mind that Griffey, Jr. was at the peak of his fame when this card was issued, as reigning American League MVP. He'd just about duplicate his staggering slugging figures in 1998 with fifty-six home runs and 146 RBI's, good enough for a fourth-place MVP finish and his sixth of seven career Silver Sluggers. Joining DiMaggio and Mays in the conversation for the most effective and majestic outfielder, he'd likewise claim his ninth of ten career Gold Gloves in 1998.
Graded PSA Mint 9. Just five of these cards have been slabbed by PSA, and this specimen shares top billing with one other at PSA. Limited edition - #6/10.
