Jo got me a cool gift for Christmas that I never got around to posting - a set of 23 karat gold cards! They were a specially produced set of 4 made during the middle of the 1998 season called "Chasing 61 HRs". As you might have guessed, the set featured the three players after Maris' record at that time - McGwire, Sosa, and my boy Griffey!
The signature and name stamped on the front of the card are done in a sparkly foil. There were 9861 sets made ('98, chasing 61), and each comes with a certificate of authenticity.
That wasn't the only card Griffey showed up on:

I actually have 2 other gold Griffeys in my collection already, I'll have to post them another time.
