A classic card, updated using modern CAD and 3D printing techniques.

The 1989 Upper Deck Ken Griffey Jr card

The front is a 4-pigment (black matte, black metal, white, and gray) chromaphane of the card. I've added the Mariners' Trident and used dark-green jewels to outline the grass on the right of the card. His necklace is studded with a single gold jewel.

The back shows KGJ's accomplishments and info about his 1987 scouting report. I figured modern collectors wouldn't know how good KGJ was predicted to be, or how accurate his scouting report was.

I added more info about his stats on the 3D printed slab, which I fabricated using black metal pigment. I used CAD to ensure the top loader is friction-fitted, so no adhesive is needed.

Of note, he had a signing bonus of $200K in 1989. Adjusted for inflation using the CPI, that would be $535K today.
