Graded MINT 9 by PSA, with signature graded “10” by PSA/DNA. Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Wander Franco has been baseball’s most discussed prospect for years, and the anticipation for his upcoming Major League Debut has reached a fever pitch, as evidenced by Goldin Auctions’ ground-breaking sale of Franco’s 2019 Bowman Chrome Prospect Autographs Red Refractor card for a record price of $193,200.00 earlier in 2021. At only 20 years old, nearly seven years younger than the average AAA player, Franco has raked for the Durham Bulls, posting a batting average of .312 with seven homers and 30 RBI through his first 30 AAA contests and prompting nation-wide cries for his impending call-up to the Show.
This pre-rookie Bowman 30th Anniversary Superfractor masterpiece has the potential to be one of the most historic sports cards of the 21st century! Franco’s vivid blue ink signature is located on the card’s front. A “Topps Certified Autograph Issue” logo on the card’s front attests to the authenticity of the signature, and serves as the item’s COA. The limited-edition piece is serial-numbered “1/1.” A unique and historic Wander Franco pre-rookie collectible, in glorious Mint condition.
