I don’t know. There are about a trillion Griffey‘s out there. But it’s long been considered one of the iconic cards of the hobby.

The ‘89 UD Randy Johnson is not.

They will authenticate certified autos like with more modern stuff, but no, I don’t believe they pass judgment on random auto’d stuff anymore after the JSA fiasco some years back.

For me, the problem with buying them is that if I ever want to sell them - I hear all the excuses. Oh, that card is trimmed or altered, I'll give you 80% of a P/A price for it.

No, it doesn't - because we didn't have a July or August pickup thread for postwar either. I guess maybe I'm the only one who noticed that. :D

1971 Topps Baseball Set Collectors- Card Centering Question
