Griffey's rookie card is Exhibit A in arrest of suspected burglars - Big League Stew - MLB  - Yahoo! Sports

The best part for me is the value they think it is worth

a BGS 10 bringa $900-$1,100. They cover the price range for varying conditions. In pinnacle condition it is a $1,000 card.

Did you mean Pristine? I know I sold my PSA 10 just 2 yrs ago for 650
and the BGS 9 pictured draws about 2 bills

I meant pinnacle, as in the highest possible condition raw or slabbed. BGS and SGC use the grading term Pristine once slabbed. PSA uses gem mint as their pinnacle. A BGS 9 brings no where near 2 bills. Based on the article I do not believe the card pictured is the actual card from the incident but rather an image added by the writer.

Pinnacle used to be a half-decent golf ball....
