I just found out that Ken Griffey Jr. decided to go with the Mariners instead of my home team, the Braves. My heart hurts a little. Is it because I think he would have been a huge asset to the team? No. Its because The Kid will always have a special place in my heart as having the single most popular baseball card that has ever existed.

You remember, don’t you? Of course you do. His Upper Deck rookie card was the Holy Grail of baseball cards. I heard rumors of people who had it (a claim that gained them instant popularity), but I never actually saw it in real life. What I wouldn’t give…

Has there ever been something more sought after?
