The 2001 Upper Deck Legends Legendary Game Jerseys insert pairs an on-card autograph with a swatch of game-worn jersey material, and this Alex Rodriguez example is a handsome example from the superstar's Texas Rangers tenure.

The front features a close-up portrait of a smiling Rodriguez in his blue Rangers cap with sunglasses resting on the brim, set against a red background within an elegant wood-grain frame. His signature is boldly signed in blue ink across the portrait. Below the "Signed Legendary Game Jerseys" title, an oval window displays a swatch of royal blue jersey material.

The reverse carries Upper Deck's certificate of authenticity, signed by CEO Richard McWilliam, confirming that the card was personally autographed by Rodriguez and that the jersey piece was worn by him in an official Major League Baseball game.

This example has received a NM-MT+ 8.5 grade from Beckett, with subgrades of 9.5 for centering, 8 for corners, 8.5 for edges and 9.5 for surface. The autograph has been graded a perfect 10.

Rodriguez enjoyed a historic first season in Texas in 2001, leading the American League with 52 home runs, 133 runs and 393 total bases. He won the AL MVP award with the Rangers in 2003 and two more with the Yankees, and he finished his career with 696 home runs. An attractive autographed jersey card of Alex Rodriguez.
