Most of us are familiar with the very limited Juan Soto gatorade bath “True Rookie Card", but this particular card is the extremely rare Autographed SSP version of one of the best young hitters in recent memory. This card is very rarely ever seen and come to market even less frequently, with only 2 graded at PSA & 6 at BGS in the entire universe, putting the total population at 8 graded cards. The card itself carries a 9.5 BGS Gem Mint rating and 10 auto, and carries the “Topps Certified Autograph Issue”.
Coming into the majors at age 19, and coming into only his age 22 season, Soto already has a World Series title under his belt, and is historically good already compiling similar statistics & drawing comparisons to inner circle hall of famers based on his career stats to date.
The five hitters with a better OPS+ than Soto through their age 21 season are: Mike Trout (166 OPS+), Ted Williams (161 OPS+), Jimmie Foxx (156 OPS+), Rogers Hornsby (155 OPS+), and Ty Cobb (153 OPS+). Five of the best hitters to ever live, basically. Soto is roughly the same age as college kids drafted in 2020. He's simply a transcendent offensive talent. Very, very few players throughout history have been this good this young.
Due to scarcity, this may be your only chance to ever own this very desirable autographed & limited print run of arguably the brightest star in the game today. This is the type of investment piece that will serve as the focal point of a collection for years and decades to come.
