Iconic Rookies: 2005 Inkworks Family Guy Season One #2 – Peter Griffin
Some cards are “key” because they’re rare. Peter Griffin is key because he’s inescapable. If you collect modern pop-culture non-sport, you eventually end up at Family Guy whether you planned to or not.
So for Iconic Rookies, we’re going straight to the clean character anchor:
2005 Inkworks Family Guy Season One #2 – Peter Griffin (base card, not an auto).
Why This Is an “Iconic Rookie”
This isn’t “first-ever Peter Griffin on cardboard in human history.” This is the first mainstream Inkworks season set where the card reads like: here’s the guy.
- #2 in the set — top billing placement.
- Clean character identity (not a random scene card you forget five minutes later).
- Foundation piece if you’re building a character-first Family Guy page.
Set Context: 2005 Inkworks Family Guy Season One

Condition & Grading Notes
These aren’t impossible in high grade, but don’t confuse “modern-ish” with “automatic 10.”

- Surface: look for handling marks and print issues under direct light.
- Centering: check it—don’t assume it.
Market Snapshot: How to Shop It
