Graded PRISTINE 10 by BGS, with signature graded “10” by Beckett. 1st Bowman Card. The 2018 National League Rookie of the Year Ronald Acuna Jr. has signed this elite Bowman Chrome Prospect Autographs Orange Refractor pre-MLB debut collectible in blazing blue ink. Acuna Jr. has revitalized the Atlanta Braves in the early days of his phenomenal MLB career. A perennial Most Valuable Player contender, Acuna finished the 2019 season three stolen bases shy of a 40-40 campaign. In his breakout campaign, the Venezuelan slugger hit .280, with 41 homers and 101 RBI, while leading the Senior Circuit in steals (37) and runs scored (127). A two-time All-Star and Silver Slugger winner, Acuna’s meteoric rise has NL East pitchers growing more nervous by the at-bat.
This historic Bowman collectible shows Acuna hustling around the basepaths, with several gold chains bouncing around his neck. The card’s BGS condition report: Centering: 10, Corners: 9.5, Edges: 10, Surface: 10. Of the 20 examples of this card currently in the Beckett population report, this is one of four graded at its tier, with none graded higher! The limited-edition piece is serial-numbered “25/25.” 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. Pristine condition.
