Serial numbered 01\/25 on the front. On-card autograph in blue ink, and the card back carries Topps’ statement that the signing of all Topps autograph cards is witnessed by their representatives to guarantee authenticity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is number one of the run. Collectors who chase first serials and jersey number matches pay attention to that, and on a print run this short the 01 is the one that turns heads.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe card itself is one of the nicer designs Topps has put out in the framed autograph space. A genuine gold-colored metal frame wraps the card, the portrait sits inside an ornate gilded picture frame, and the signing area is left clean and pale so the autograph reads clearly. Rolen’s signature is bold, well placed, and struck in dark blue with no skipping or fading. The frame is straight with no bends or dings, corners are square, and the surface is clean front and back. Ungraded and raw, exactly as pictured.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eScott Rolen was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2023 and inducted that summer, which makes this a first-year Hall of Fame autograph from the year he went in. He came up with the Phillies and won National League Rookie of the Year in 1997, then built a career that produced seven All-Star selections and eight Gold Gloves at third base, along with a World Series ring with St. Louis in 2006. He remains one of the best defensive third basemen the game has produced, and his Cooperstown case was carried largely by the glove.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eFramed autographs like this are awkward to slab, so the great majority of them stay raw and get displayed exactly as they are. That is part of the appeal. It is a finished object rather than something waiting on a grade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePhotos are of the actual card you will receive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eShips same business day on all orders placed before 6:00 AM EST.
