Good stuff my friend! I have never collected football but football is probably my 2nd fav sport behind baseball. I dont know why I never collected it when I was a kid but it was more cool to have baseball cards. Either way, I am REALLY starting to consider jumping in on some of the 90s HOFers (using what i know about the 90s cards from colecting Griffey). Jerry Rice, Barry Sanders, Joe Montana, Steve Young, Faulk to give some names. LOOOVE the 97 TC image of Griffey. Great card…mine is at psa. Id love to get the 70' Ryan even more so than the RC. Just not a fan of shared RCs.
The 97 Topps Chrome Griffey is my favorite of his regular early TC refractor cards. I just really like that pose and shine on that card. It was his MVP season also. It is really hard to get a good handle on how many refractors were produced for Topps Chrome baseball in the 1996 and 1997 season sets. But my guess would be a low count like 200 to 300 at most. The 97 set I think is a tougher condition set than 96 & I think 96 is tough for condition. The silver borders get scratched up easy on those cards and many are off center. If you look at the 97 TC PSA pop report this had to be one of the lowest pop graded early refractor sets out there. I have a few of these Griffey's also. Yours looks really nice as a PSA 8. Looks like a mint 9 to me. A PSA 10 of this Griffey card sold for $10K this summer and any star card HOF players from this set in PSA 10 grade in the 97 TC Refractors are near impossible to come by.
Nice mail day Jason. Good luck on putting the lynchpins set together. Only one I own is the Kobie (pack pull). Like the '70 Ryan. Also have it in an 8. Fav Ryan is his '69. Have more than a couple of those. Would you settle for a well centered 7 Ryan or are you just interested in buying the grade? Speak to you soon. Sending you off an email. Good day, friend.
Awesome my friend
