The 2012 Topps
Allen & Ginters set, for me, is all about this card. I am truly happy that
Topps decided to use an image from the early 90s when he was still “The Kid”. Sadly
it will probably be awhile before I add this card to my personal Griffey
I noticed that
the image that Topps used appears very similar to his 1990s Topps Tiffany card
but shot from a different angle. Everything seems to be dead-on including his
gloves and the way he is holding the bat, the tape on the bat, the angle of his
hat, the “almost but not yet grown in” mustache and even the way his jersey is buttoned
and it is slightly open between the “R” and “I”.
