The case

Why this card matters.

This card received an 83 overall Hobby Score.

The 1989 Bowman Ken Griffey Jr. rookie is widely considered the second-best Griffey rookie after the iconic Upper Deck. Bowman's return to the hobby in 1989 came with oversized cards that stood out both literally and visually. The larger dimensions made them unique'but also hard to store'giving this set a nostalgic identity all its own. Griffey's card is clean, sharp, and features one of the best early portraits of 'The Kid.'
