Overall Assessment

A classic 90s sports memorabilia piece featuring a beloved superstar signature, though fabric surface grading requires careful third-party inspection

Uncertain - requires professional authentication due to surface challenges

Full name with typical looping script and characteristic upward-sweeping final flourish

Fast execution, consistent upward slant, prominent loop formations on capital letters

Black felt-tip marker

Vintage canvas and fabric baseball cap with embroidered lettering on the crown, signed directly on the curved brim

150 to 300 USD

Consistent general shape, though fabric distortion makes precise stroke analysis difficult

Examine the distinct upward flourish at the end of the signature and natural flow against known exemplars

PSA/DNA or JSA

Slight bleeding into the fabric texture, which is common on hats but can occasionally mimic hesitation

Direct-from-player or in-person acquisition history significantly increases buyer confidence

Ken Griffey Jr. defined 1990s baseball culture and remains one of the most heavily collected players of his generation

Stable demand for 1990s baseball icons, particularly on display pieces
