Griffey may hold his value longer than you think as he was the "hobby poster boy" in the 1990's and most collectors have fond memories of him.
And the HOF induction without any steroid taint helps him as well. No, he is not going to be Mantle, but he was the closest thing to Willie Mays I ever saw.
And, those collectors from the 1990's who do return, will go after Griffey so I would not be surprised to see a bit of a renaissance in his prices. The three players since 1980 I would keep long term are Ripken, Griffey and Jeter
