Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Excellent (EX 5)
Estimated Market Value
$1.00 - $3.00 (Raw); $20.00 - $40.00 (PSA 9); $100.00+ (PSA 10)
Recent Sales
Raw copies typically sell for approximately $2.00 on eBay. PSA 9 specimens have recently sold in the $25 range, while PSA 10 examples are rare due to the manual cutting process, commanding a premium.
Condition Details
Softness on the top right corner and bottom left corner. Significant centering shift toward the top-left border. Slight edge wear visible along the top. Surfaces likely show minor scuffing typical of box-cut cards.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. This is a mass-produced 'junk wax' era food issue. Because it was originally cut from a cereal box, the edges and centering are rarely perfect. The cost of grading ($15-$25) would likely exceed the card's market value.
Card Description
Card features a smiling portrait of Ken Griffey Jr. wearing a Seattle Mariners blue cap. The design features a thick yellow border with the 'Post 1991 Collector Series' logo in the left margin. Griffey is identified as a member of the Seattle Mariners.
Notable Features
Hand-cut from a cereal box (some versions were available in full sets via mail-order). This card belongs to a 30-card set promoted by Post Cereal in the early 90s.
Authentication Notes
Authentic 'cereal box' card stock. The print pattern and logo placement are consistent with 1991 Post production. No significant counterfeiting risk exists for this specific card due to its high production volume.
