Here at the Junior Junkie we collect and catalog Griffeys in all shapes and sizes. From the tiniest Topps Micro to a 25" x 39" uncut sheet of Mother's Cookies cards and everything in between, I make it my personal mission to make sure every item is properly stored.
Today we dip into the vault of oversized cardboard (an empty hobby box of 2005 Collector's Choice) for the first in a series of posts featuring only those Griffeys of sufficient hugeness as to necessitate unorthodox storage methods.
Let's have some fun:
Materialistic is a box topper insert from Fleer I got in an eBay lot. Some iterations of the insert appeared in multiple different sets within the Fleer line for 2001, but this particular one came from their 2002 Focus Jersey Edition set. It's super big at 3.75" x 5.25" and features printing on a massive material swatch. A relic swatch of this size would be nice considering the set is called "Jersey Edition," but who am I to complain? A blogger, that's who. It's what we do.
This is a postcard advertising a lithograph of a painting by James Fiorentino. It's a great representation of the Kid and of '53 Topps. Looks like it's still available here. The print will run you about $100, but I was able to pick up this postcard for a dollar at a local card show (I would have paid three). The way I see it I made 99 bucks on this deal. The card is 3.75" x 5.125"
The following are a pair of 4" x 6" "mini posters":

There are plenty more gigantic Griffeys in the vault that I look forward to showing off and making snarky comments about. See you then!
I've got a motto on my blog... Bigger is Better! Nice cards. I'm off to see who else made the Donruss checklist for their Perez postcard set.
