I realize I'm a bit late in posting this, but a couple of weeks ago I had the chance to be at T-Mobile Park for the Mariners’ 50 Seasons celebration, when many of the franchise’s 50 greatest players gathered on the field.

Seeing that much Mariners history in one place made me appreciate cards like this one even more: my 1995 Pinnacle Museum Collection Ken Griffey Jr. The card captures Junior exactly as so many of us remember him - backwards cap, bubble blown, and effortlessly cool. Among five decades of memorable Mariners, nobody better represents the spirit of the franchise or an era of baseball in Seattle.

A great card, a great celebration, and a pretty special reminder of why we collect.
