Chipper Jones’ rookie card is in the 1991 Topps set alongside fellow Hall of Famers Jeff Bagwell and Ivan Rodriguez. Last year, I was fortunate to get him TTM but he is very inconsistent. When the opportunity came to upgrade to a rookie card via a paid signing while supporting a good cause, I jumped at it. I purchased a raw card on eBay and sent it into a paid signing. The card turned out perfectly.
Currently there are over 1,350 autographed 1991 Topps Chipper Jones’ rookie cards in the PSA registry.
