When 1997 Pinnacle Certified Baseball arrived, Mirror versions of the product's Gold Certified Team had not been announced. They were a surprise for collectors that were later confirmed by Pinnacle Brands as having 25 copies each, despite no serial numbering. The Refractor-like reflective surface is what sets it apart visually from the standard version.
This marks one of the rarest Ken Griffey Jr. cards from the mid to late 1990s, an era that is held in high regard for its designs and innovation. Both are on display with this scarce card. It is a pop 2 in the PSA registry with only a NM-MT 8 ranking higher.
The certification number on this card has been checked against the third-party grader's online database and is active as of 07/24/2025.
