Griffeys Appraisal

Ken Griffey Jr. Signed and Numbered Art Print

This appears to be a limited edition art print featuring baseball legend Ken Griffey Jr. The print depicts Griffey in three different stages of his swing, rendered in a painterly style with vibrant colors. The central figure shows Griffey from behind, wearing a light-colored jersey with "GRIFFEY" and the number "24" clearly visible. He is actively swinging a bat, with dynamic motion suggested by the brushstrokes and composition. To his left, an earlier stage of his swing is depicted, likely in a different uniform (possibly a Mariners uniform given the color scheme). To his right, a later stage of his swing is shown. The overall aesthetic suggests an artistic interpretation of his powerful batting form. The print is personally signed by Ken Griffey Jr. in a prominent location below the central figure, with a clear, bold signature. In the bottom right corner, there is an annotation "AP 39/50", indicating it is Artist's Proof number 39 out of a limited edition of 50. This designation signifies a high-quality print, often reserved for the artist or close associates, and can sometimes be more desirable than standard numbered prints. The physical characteristics indicate it is a large-format paper print, rolled or slightly curved, and appears to be in good condition with minor signs of handling such as slight curling at the edges, but no visible tears or significant creases. The colors are rich and well-preserved. The style suggests a contemporary sports art piece, likely dating from the period of Griffey's active career or shortly thereafter, possibly late 20th or early 21st century. The quality of the reproduction and the artist's proof status point to a well-produced art piece intended for collectors. The inclusion of a signed baseball in a display case behind the print in the upper right background suggests this print is part of a larger collection or display dedicated to Ken Griffey Jr.
