Presented here in this lot of four (4) superstars and rookie graded card lot are additional names that have cemented their place in baseball lore including Derek Jeter, Hank Aaron, Barry Bonds, and Cal Ripken Jr. Batting first and leading us off is a 1993 Pinnacle #457 rookie card of Hall of Famer, Derek Jeter. Featuring the iconic Yankee fresh out of high school with details in a black border, this card has been graded by Beckett and been deemed worthy of a MINT 9 designation with subgrades of; centering 9, corners 9, edges 9, and surface 9.5. The next two cards included in this lot share the connection of featuring the men that are listed at number one and number two on the all-time home run list. The first, being that of Barry Bonds 1986 Topps Traded rookie card that has been graded by Beckett as a NM-MT 8 with subgrades of centering 7.5, corners 8, edges 8.5, and surface 9.5. The second of the two mentioned home run hitters and number three in this lot is the card featuring Hank Aaron as part of Topps 1976 release in his finally Major League uniform with the Milwaukee Brewers. Assessed the grade of VG-EX+ 4.5, the card presents well with centering being the biggest and most obvious issue that contributed to the grade it received. Last but certainly not least is the iconic 1982 Topps rookie card of the Iron Man, Cal Ripken Jr. featured with non-household names Bob Bonner and Jeff Schneider, Ripken stands tall out of this trio and cemented a 19-year major league career with the Orioles. Once again having been graded by Beckett as an EXCELLENT+ 5.5, once again it is centering that is the biggest flaw seen with the naked eye on this card. All four cards remain housed in Beckett holders that display minimal wear coming in the form of light scratching and are ready to find homes in your collection.
