If you’re in the market for the ultimate Rafael Nadal card set, look no further. SCP Auctions is offering the #1 ranked Rafael Nadal Master Set with 180 of 201 possible cards (89.5%). In the history of Nadal collecting, no one has been able to track down every card to complete a master set. This set holds a weighted GPA of 9.21 (with “highest-graded” bonuses) for a total set rating of 7.57. Considering the #2 Nadal Master Set has a set rating of 4.03 and is just 27% complete, there’s simply no comparison. This is the greatest Nadal card set by a landslide, and we’re giving collectors a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to acquire it in one fell swoop, avoiding several years of chasing, bidding and negotiating on the secondary market.
Last October, the Spanish legend officially retired from tennis, concluding a GOAT-worthy career that delivered 22 major championships including a record 14 French Opens. On May 25th Rafa was honored on those hallowed clay courts at Roland Garros where he was virtually unbeatable. During one stretch, he won an unprecedented 81 straight matches on clay. Yet, his 92 career titles prove he could win on any surface. Four U.S. Open, two Wimbledon and two Australia Open titles put him in rare company as one of just seven men to achieve the coveted Career Grand Slam. And to do so during the same era as Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic – two other members of that elite club with 20 and 24 majors, respectively – the case can certainly be made that Rafa is the best to ever pick up a racquet.
The set can be viewed on the PSA Set Registry by clicking HERE. The most desirable cards in terms of value, popularity, high-grade and top-pop status have been scanned in high resolution. There are 42 Nadal signed cards, including several multi-player versions, all packed out with manufacturer-obtained autographs. A few of these have been dual-graded with high PSA/DNA autograph ratings (mostly perfect 10s). Every flagship 2003 NetPro non-auto rookie card comes in PSA Gem Mint 10. Of the 180 cards, 137 (76.1%) are "top pop" and 55 (30.6%) are Pop 1 with none higher.
