There aren't many mainstream baseball cards produced in the last 30 years that rank among the most important issues ever made, but the debut of "A-Rod" in the 1994 SP series is undoubtedly one of them. A generational talent that finished his 22-year career with five American League home run titles and three MVP awards on his journey to 696 lifetime round-trippers and 2,086 RBI, both ranking #4 all-time, Alex Rodriguez and fellow Cooperstown immortal Derek Jeter led the 2009 New York Yankees to a World Series title. Graded a perfect GEM MINT 10 by PSA, this beauty lacks the almost obligatory chipping along the vulnerable borderless edges that makes it virtually impossible to reach the top of the PSA grading scale. When you consider the astronomical prices being achieved for rookie issues of Mike Trout and other similar up-and-coming superstars, surely the most celebrated debut pasteboard of Alex Rodriguez has room for growth.
