All My Best Griffey Acquisitions of the Year Posts

Every year I make a list of my best Griffey acquisitions. I reference these lists all the time for images, card info, and as historical/cost markers. I find I usually end up having to Google “Junior Junkie Top 30 (year)” multiple times until I find the card I am looking for, so I am making this post mostly for my own reference so I can easily pull up past acquisitions. But feel free to enjoy it as well.

    There sure are a lot of high end cards listed here. I think even Griffey would be in awe.
