It's Gotta Be The Glasses



I posted a single card this week and that was part of Monday’s question so today I will make my complete focus on my Ken Griffey Jr. Gargoyles card.

In 1995 Griffey signed a one-year contract with Gargoyles sunglasses, he was included in magazine and in-store advertisements and if you purchased a pair of his signature sunglasses there was a card included in the box. There were base cards that are #/5000 and there were also autographed versions but those cards are not numbered.

    Kind of funny the numbering started with 0 and had 5 digits when out of 5,000.

      I noticed that too and was wondering why it was numbered that way.

    Never seen or heard of these before. Great oddball for the Griffey collector.

    I have one of these numbered 00634 / 5000. Any idea if the value of this thing? I remember getting it with a pair of Gargoyles back in 97/98. It was sealed in a Mylar wrapper. I didn’t open it for about 10 years, I finally ended up opening it just to see if there was an autograph on the card.
