Combining for over 1400 home runs between the two baseball legends, baseballs have always been fearful of when these two come to the plate. Presented here is a graded card lot of two (2) that showcases each player’s significant rookie releases from Upper Deck. The Ken Griffey Jr rookie, hailing from UD’s inaugural release in 1989 shows a fresh-faced Griffey during Spring Training of his rookie season. The Kid was so highly thought of at the time that Upper Deck gave him the rookie the honour of being card #1 in the set, a practice that is seldom seen in the industry. Graded by Beckett, the card has been deemed worthy of a NM-MT 8 grade with subgrades of; centering 8, corners 7.5, edges 8, and surface 9. The second and final card of the lot is the 2001 Upper Deck rookie of future hall of famer, Albert Pujols. Showcasing the young star taking a cut at a pitch, the card features beautiful photography and bronze accents. Graded by Beckett subsidiary BCCG as a MINT or BETTER 10, the card presents beautifully. Both holders present well with only the Griffey showing some minor scratches on the front but not taking away from the visual appeal of the piece itself.
