1989 Vintage photograph of Seattle Mariners rookie Ken Griffey Jr. in uniform and playing catch before his game. One of his coolest and most fun rookie photographs ever taken and offered here for the first time ever, he is hardly containing his enthusiasm for the game which made us all fall in love with "The Kid." The photo is almost perfect with two small scratches above Griffey's head which could be fixed, developed in a dark room in 1989 and comes with the negative number written on the back. Of pinnacle importance however is the presence of the unique camera negative used to make this image on the back. At some point negatives will be authenticated and this will be a gem! PSA will not authenticate the photo as it is on AGFA paper, but the image was developed off the original negative in 1989. The negative is the key here and it is fantastic!
