1994 SP Alex Rodriguez #15

Before the milestones, a Mariners teenager on his first major card

The 1994 Upper Deck SP set arrived during a high point for premium baseball issues, and Alex Rodriguez's card 15 stands as one of his earliest and most recognizable rookie-era cards. Drafted first overall by Seattle in 1993, Rodriguez would go on to one of the most prolific careers of his generation. This copy is graded BGS 8, a clean near-mint-to-mint presentation that holds up well for a mid-1990s card known for condition-sensitive surfaces and edges.
