jbissell is correct with the era of the baseball card business but also the era of more games being on TV for much of Griffey's earlier career it was ESPN or nothing I doubt that very many Mariners games were even on local channels in the Seattle market now every team has some sort of cable TV deal. Injuries of course also hurt Griffey as he would have surpassed Bonds if he would have had an injury free career.
