Tickets related to Robinson, Mantle, Ruth, Gehrig, Aaron, Mays, Clemente, Koufax, and other inner circle HOFers should still be safe bets. Did you see this lot sold on eBay recently? It had one full Griffey debut in it. 40K? Crazy in my opinion and further evidence that this Mantle was under valued.

Apparently this is the only Griffey debut full-ticket known in existence. (I'm not an expert, but that was what I was told on it)

I heard the same. Modern tickets still scare me. I worry that there are ticket brokers out there with a tub of forgotten unsold full tickets tucked away on a shelf in the garage.

Looks like someone gave you some incorrect info.

Another one just sold at Goldin this past weekend, this one was Auto'd:

Ebay Unsigned 10/14/24 - $40k (buyer still has yet to get graded....the fact that they have not means they either are getting it auto'd first, or PSA slow as always)

Goldin Signed 12/28/24 - $52k

52K?! I love Griffey and appreciate tickets and what they represent but that seems crazy to me.
