A few modern rookie cards printed in the 1990s are respected as a worthwhile investment and the featured example is one of them. This Topps Desert Shield variety of Chipper Jones' popular rookie card was distributed in the middle east and not designated for sale in the states. In addition to its unique scarcity, the featured example of Hall of Famer Chipper Jones' debut is graded 8.5 NM/MT+ and sports a bold blue marker signature that has earned a perfect 10 GEM MINT grade. The #1 overall draft pick in 1990, Chipper lived up to every expectation with 468 career homers and a lifetime .303 batting average, including a 2008 National League batting title. One of the most important rookie cards produced by Topps, and distributed in painfully limited quantities.
