Griffey is nostalgia. His cards were expensive when I was a kid. And now that I have a little pocket change, I can try to grab some of the cards I always wanted when I was younger.
As for modern stars, I know that Jeter prices soared for a bit with Covid but have settled again. And Bonds was a recluse in the hobby for a long time. He hardly signed any pack inserts. So his absence likely helped fuel his strong prices. But I don't think he'll ever be as popular as Griffey.

Barry Bonds cards sell for more than Griffey Jr and I believe he is more popular.
In September 2025 the highest selling 80s card on eBay was a 1986 Topps Traded Tiffany Barry Bonds PSA 10 for $11,850. A 1989 Topps Traded Tiffany Ken Griffey Jr PSA 10 sold for $5995 and was the 7th highest priced 80s card to sell last month on eBay. #3 was a 1989 Fleer Bill Ripken PSA 10 for $8228.
