Albert Pujols' 2001 SP Authentic Future Watch rookie card (#126) is serial-numbered to just 1,250 copies, this example is #0463 — a mid-run specimen from the original production run. The card features Pujols in his Cardinals uniform, bat in full swing, set against the SP Authentic "Future Watch" sunburst background. The reverse notes his blazing spring training performance that earned him a roster spot and his early-season leadership in nearly every offensive category.

 

Certified BGS GEM MINT 9.5 with sub-grades of Centering 9.5, Corners 9.5, Edges 9.5, and Surface 9 — this is a near-perfect specimen with only the most imperceptible surface variance separating it from a black label. With Pujols' 700th career home run having cemented his status as a first-ballot Hall of Famer, high-grade examples of his SP Authentic Future Watch rookie carry significant and lasting value.
