Encapsulated and graded NM-MT+ 8.5 by BGS, with signature graded "9" by Beckett. Rookie Card. This 2001 UD Ultimate Collection card has been boldly front-signed in blue ink by the inimitable superstar and future Hall of Famer and is his most sought after and desirable rookie issue. "Ichiro" enjoyed a successful career in Japan before beginning his concentrated and thorough assault on the MLB record books. The card's BGS condition report: Centering: 9.5, Corners: 8.5, Edges: 8.5, Surface: 9. A congratulatory statement on the card's back attests to the authenticity of the signature, and serves as Upper Deck’s COA. The limited-edition piece is serial-numbered "227/250." A marvelous signed display piece, in Near Mint to Mint-plus condition.
