Ken Griffey Jr. is one of the greatest power hitters that basseball has ever seen. His smooth, seemingly effortless swing helped him reach seventh all-time on MLB's career home runs list. Had it not been for persistent injuries, it could have been several spots higher.
Griffey's inclusion in the ""Power"" subset in 1997 Topps Finest Baseball is a natural fit. For the second consecutive year, the Finest base set was split into three tiers: Bronze (common), Silver (uncommon) and Gold (rare). This scale carried over to their respective Refractor parallels. This Griffey is part of the Gold level. It's one of 25 different Rare cards in Series 2. Refractors for these fell an astounding 1:288 packs. That means the odds of pulling this Griffey or any other individual Rare Refractor was 1:7,200 packs. Even without a serial number, scarcity is implied with such long odds.
Graded a Gem Mint 10, this is one of just 12 in the PSA registry.
