Today we’re celebrating the Kid himself turning 56 with a little Griffey love on the mantel.

From the painted textures of UD Masterpieces to the iconic Dream Team look, Griffey’s cards always felt different — smoother, cooler, and somehow effortless… just like his swing. These four are a perfect reminder of why he’s one of the most universally loved players the hobby has ever seen.

What’s your all-time favorite Griffey card in your collection?

Happy Birthday, Jr. — thanks for all the memories.
