Upper Deck X Signatures

NOTE: A Signature of Ken Griffey, Jr. exists. Griffey was on the provisional checklist issued by Upper Deck but not believed to exist for some time as it was not listed in the standard catalog for this set. However, in late 2022, a collector told BCP that he owned four copies and has seen a fifth copy in the wild.
