not to mention,
the 1984 Donruss Mattingly was /is more ICONIC in the sports card world....the reason there was a 89 UD griffey WAS because of Mattingly....
Mattingly created the buzz that was the 80's card world...the next triple crown player, the Next great Yankee...But his back didnt go along with the plan....
AS MATTINGLY"S BACK WENT, SO DID SPORTS CARDS.......
DIRECT CORRELATION.....
Basball card shows in the heyday were about finding a centered mattingly 84 Donruss...they never centered around the griffey Card....
