CARD RECORD · 2016

Aaron Judge

2016 MLB Topps NOW · #356 · Base · Call-Up · Raw

Homers in each of his first two major-league games

This is the call-up card that starts Judge’s major-league power story a season before the formal RC-marked run. Homers in his first two games made the arrival immediate, while a 1,169-card print run kept the first chapter compact. Ten recent exact raw sales produce a $175.50 median. The result is strong, but the spread between individual sales remains wide.

OUR TAKE

Homers in each of his first two major-league games

This is the call-up card that starts Judge’s major-league power story a season before the formal RC-marked run. Homers in his first two games made the arrival immediate, while a 1,169-card print run kept the first chapter compact. Ten recent exact raw sales produce a $175.50 median. The result is strong, but the spread between individual sales remains wide.

This one is worth more work. The moment and supply have our attention, but this is not a buy recommendation.
