Meant to be given to United States soldiers serving in the Persian Gulf during active operations the 1991 Topps Desert Shield set is one of the rarer modern baseball issues with reportedly less than 7000 of each card produced. Cards were stamped with a gold foil overprint on the front honoring the military effort. Sets could only be completed by opening one wax pack at a time. A large majority of Desert Shield cards were either damaged or discarded by soldiers returning home
Presented here is an exceedingly scarce 1991 Topps Baseball Desert Shield #333 Chipper Jones rookie card graded a perfect GEM MINT 10 by PSA. With an SMR of $6000 and low pop. of 28 in the registry it is easily the top rookie card in existence for the newly minted Hall of Fame third baseman.
