Jim Rice is a Hall of Fame leftfielder who spent his entire career with the Boston Red Sox.  He was the 15th pick in the first round of the 1971 MLB Draft.  Throughout his 16 year career, Jim Rice was the model for consistency with a .298 batting average.  Below is a look at some of Jim Rice’s career highlights.

  • 1x MVP
  • 8x All-Star
  • 2x Silver Slugger

Jim Rice’s rookie card is in the 1975 Topps set along with the rookie cards of fellow Hall of Famers; George Brett, Gary Carter and Robin Yount.  While not a rare card to find autographed, there are 126 in the PSA DNA registry, it is a great entry level card for collectors looking to invest.   The card itself is still affordable as you can find one on eBay in the $5-15 range based on condition.  Jim Rice is fantastic to his fans and will sign any item sent to him TTM as long as you include $10 per item.
