Trade with Cards on Cards: Part 1 (Griffey)

I got a box, yeah that's right, I said "box" of cards in yesterday from Kerry of the blog Cards on Cards. The box had 5 team bags stuffed with cards. I sent him some Cardinals cards for some Griffey cards that he had posted for trade. He sent me a stack of Griffey cards and then a hundred plus Diamondbacks cards! (these will be shown in future posts)

Griffey is my all-time favorite player. I collected him heavily from 1990 to 1999. I took a break from collecting from 2000 - 2004 and by the time I returned there was just too much Griffey stuff out there that I felt overwhelmed and so while I never stopped collecting him, I stopped buying his cards. I've decided to start building my Griffey collection again. In order to do this I need to get my Griffey PC organized. That might take a while, but I've got to get started. Here are the 17 Griffey cards that Kerry sent.

In no particular order: Two STARQUEST Parallels

I'm still not used to seeing Griffey in a White Sox uniform.

Here's a great head shot!

Here's that classic swing!

Another great shot of his swing! 

Almost 20 years after his debut and he's still an All-Star!

Nice posed shot of Griffey!

This cards corners are sharp! Most of my Post cards from the early 90's are pretty beat up, but this card looks brand new!

 

3... I can't remember now why he switched from 30 to 3, but there it is on his jersey, the number 3.

A couple cards of him back on the Mariners where he belongs!

Here are a couple of Mother's Cookies cards that are still in the wrappers!

This card has my two favorite players on it Griffey and Piazza! How did I not have this already!

Finally, 2 early 1990's cards that I can't believe I didn't already have. The thing about collecting Griffey is that he has about a million different cards!
