1990 Topps, Ken Griffey Jr.

Card No. 336

Call me crazy, say what you want: This is Ken Griffey, Jr.'s best Topps card....While it doesn't have the fanfare that his 1989 Topps Traded rookie carries, you can't deny the charm and near-perfection of this card....Full disclosure: I'm a Rookie Cup junkie....Junior's farewell card appeared 20 years later in the 2010 Topps set....Made the first of 13 career All-Star Game appearances and won the first of 10 Gold Gloves in 1990 with the Mariners.
