The classic Griffey Jr. swing as captured by noted photographer David Seelig. Taken in 1995 when Seattle were AL West Champs, this was the Mariners best season while Junior was with the team. The slugger had an injury shortened ’95 season but made up for it in the postseason where he hit .391 to beat the Yankees in the ALDS and then .333 against the Indians in the ALCS. The mid-1990s were a transitional period for sports photography, with direct to print digital cameras rapidly replacing the old film negatives. This is one of the few Type 1 examples from that era and it is all the more desirable in that it depicts Junior in the prime of his Hall of Fame career. The Type 1 photo measures 8” x 10” and has all four borders. The reverse has the David Seelig credit stamp, Sporting News Collection hologram, and “Ken Griffey Jr.” hand written in ballpoint. Encapsulated Type 1 by PSA/DNA.
