Description
2013 Bowman Chrome Draft Picks & Prospects Aaron Judge (Superfractor) #BDPP19 PSA Mint 9 - #'d 1/1! The subject card stands as one of the most significant modern prospect cards in existence, capturing Judge at the very beginning of his professional journey after being selected by the New York Yankees in the first round of the 2013 MLB Draft. As a Superfractor, this card is a true one-of-one, featuring the iconic gold spiral refractor pattern that represents the pinnacle of rarity within the Bowman Chrome product line.Judge's development from a raw power prospect into one of Major League Baseball's premier sluggers adds substantial historical weight to this issue. Known for his record-breaking rookie season in 2017 and subsequent MVP-level performances, Judge has become the face of the Yankees franchise and one of the most recognizable players of his era. Cards from his early prospect releases, particularly Bowman Chrome issues, are widely regarded as foundational pieces within his market.
The Superfractor designation elevates this card into a category reserved for the most elite collectibles, typically serving as a centerpiece in high-end modern trading card collections. Its one-of-one serial numbering ensures unmatched uniqueness, while the glorious PSA Mint 9 grade speaks for itself.
We would naturally assume that any competitor at this highest level of the twenty-first century trading card marketplace will be aware that Judge's first Bowman Chrome Superfractor Autograph card sold in March 2026 for $5.2 million in a private transaction. It remains the highest price ever paid for a modern baseball card, knocking a $3.94 million Mike Trout card from the throne. This is the unsigned example of that world record card. Note that the "Mini" example of this card likewise appears with this auction.
Remarkably, this outrageous rarity was recently unearthed not far from our global headquarters in Dallas, Texas when a dealer visited its owner's home to consider purchasing some vintage cards. After asking the owner if he had any other cards in his collection, he was presented a box of modern cards that the owner had removed from packs years ago and then essentially forgotten. The box contained this card with a "$5K - $10K" sticker on the back of its holder. The dealer asked, "So if I offered you $25,000 for this card, you would take it?" Before allowing the owner to answer, he added, "Don't--this card is worth a lot more. You should reach out to an auction house."
That noble act led this second-greatest Aaron Judge card in the world to its current position in this auction.
Guide Value or Estimate: $400,000 - up.

Auction Type
Signature Internet Extended Bid: These Auctions are presented via catalog and online. Bidding is taken through our website or via phone. There are two phases of bidding during this type of auction: 1) Normal bidding: Bids are taken up until 10 PM CT the night the auction closes. 2) 30 Minute Ending: On a lot-by-lot basis, starting at 10:00 PM CT, any person who has bid on the lot previously may continue to bid on that lot until there are no more bids for 30 minutes. For example, if you bid on a lot during Normal Bidding, you could participate during Extended Bidding for that lot, but not on lots you did not bid on previously. If a bid was placed at 10:15, the new end time for that lot would become 10:45. If no other bids were placed before 10:45, the lot would close. If you are the high bidder on a lot, changing your bid will not extend the bidding during the 30 Minute Ending phase (only a bid from another bidder will extend bidding). If you are the only bidder at 10 PM, you will automatically win the lot at 10:30. Important: After normal bidding ends, you must be signed-on to the Heritage site to see the bidding option on lots where you qualify for extended bidding and you must be on an individual lot page to reflect the accurate time remaining for that particular lot.
