Description

1993 SP Derek Jeter Rookie #279 SGC Gem Mint 10. The Rookie of the Year in 1996. Five World Championship rings. A home run for his 3,000th hit during a five-for-five performance. A walk-off single in his final Yankee Stadium game. A roster of ex-girlfriends that would make Frank Sinatra jealous. Everything just seems to fall into place when your name is Derek Jeter. Does anything ever not go The Captain's way?

Well, some card collectors might think so. While the crowded field of trading card companies in the modern game has supplied the hobby with several entries considered to be a Derek Jeter rookie, top billing is all but universally assigned to the 1993 SP. Is it a beauty? Sure. But like a tipsy supermodel on six-inch stilettos, just the tiniest stumble can ruin the effect.

Graded SGC Gem Mint 10. With almost 3,000 submissions to SGC only four examples have been graded GEM MINT. It's that unusual foil coating that supplies the issue with both its pretty face and its Achilles' heel, leaving the edges so damage-prone that the slightest brush of the finger sends the grade plummeting to the middle reaches of the population report.
