Ken Griffey, Jr. Biography by Howard Reiser

This is a mass-market paperback or library-bound children's biography of MLB Hall of Famer Ken Griffey Jr., written by Howard Reiser and likely published as part of the 'Sports Superstars' series in the early 1990s. The front cover features a full-color action photograph of Griffey in his Seattle Mariners away uniform, mid-swing. The design includes a bold red background with white pinstripes, a yellow banner at the top displaying the subject's name, and a blue banner at the bottom for the author's name. The physical condition reflects heavy usage characteristic of a public or school library book. Notable defects include significant edge wear and fraying along the spine and corners, visible creasing on the cover, and two prominent white adhesive labels on the lower-left corner—one of which has been blacked out with a marker, obscuring a barcode or library call number. A small yellow price tag or inventory sticker is also partially visible on the left edge. The construction is a standard glued paperback binding, and the overall patina suggests it has been handled frequently for over three decades, significantly impacting its collectible grade but preserving its character as a piece of 90s sports nostalgia.
