Being a Yankees fan, I remember being a kid watching “The Kid” play for the Mets and loved watching him play. Great all around player who left us way too soon.

Gary Carter played in the Major Leagues for 19 years primarily with the Expos and Mets. Carter was an 11 time all-star and won a World Series with the Mets in 1986. He won 3 Gold Glove Awards and the Silver Slugger Award 5 times. Carter was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2003.

Nothing fancy…. Couple from a recent lot I purchased.

2025 Stadium Club Light Blue Ken Griffey Jr.

Couldn’t pass picking this one up on release day. As a kid growing up in Cincinnati you couldn’t help but be a fan of Junior. Can’t wait to get the color match mag to put this one on display!!

Anyone else like the Oddball stuff?

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.
