My $5 yard sale pickup...
Now what I really want to ask, does that auto look legit? I've seen certified autos of Griffeys that look nearly identical, but then I've seen them look a bit different, so I took the chance for 5 bucks..
If you have less than 15 successful trades here on Beckett, you will have to send first.

I don't think it would hurt to get it authenticated. The "Jr." part of the signature just looks a little odd in my opinion.

For $5, you have a good start. Now pay to get it authenticated. If it is real, it will be with more than your total investment--to the right people.

I appreciate Chicago players that begin competing within the city's sports organizations and stay with these teams throughout their careers.

Well I plan on keeping it, since Griffey is my all time favorite, but you guys pretty much backed up how I feel on it..
