BID PER WHAT YOU SEE IN THE PHOTO, NOT THE AI GENERATED TITLES AND DESCRIPTIONS! 1989 Upper Deck Ken Griffey Jr. Star Rookie Card #1
This is a 1989 Upper Deck Ken Griffey Jr. rookie card, designated as number 1 in the inaugural Upper Deck baseball set. The card front features a color photograph of Ken Griffey Jr. in a Seattle Mariners uniform with a bat over his shoulder. It includes the distinctive gold Star Rookie logo in the upper right corner and the Upper Deck diamond logo at the bottom right. The player’s name and position (OF) are printed on the front. The reverse side displays a statistical breakdown of his 1988 minor league season with San Bernardino and Vermont, noting No Major League Experience. The back also features a circular Seattle Mariners logo and the characteristic diamond-shaped anti-counterfeit hologram dated 1989 at the bottom right. The card is presented in a clear plastic protective top-loader.
Condition report:
The card is in raw, ungraded condition. Front centering is slightly off, favoring the left side. The corners appear sharp with a very minor hint of softening visible on the top right corner. Edges are clean and free of significant chipping. The surface maintains its original gloss with no visible scratches, creases, or indentations through the protective housing.
