ROOKIE AUTO!!!..."The Machine" famously returned to the Cardinals in 2022 to make one last All-Star appearance and blast his 700th home run, making him one of only four players ever to hit the elusive milestone. In addition to his 3,384 career hits, Pujols ranks top five all-time in doubles (686), home runs (703), and RBI (2,218). He is also responsible for one of the most memorable moments in World Series history, matching Reggie Jackson's iconic feat by blasting three home runs in three consecutive at-bats during Game 3 of the 2011 World Series! This MINT issue features Pujols in his rookie season, just before he hit .329 with 37 home runs to capture the NL ROY award and establish himself as one of the top hitters of the sport. Serial numbered to 1,250 copies, this is one of Pujols' more desirable rookie cards, and only six autographed copies have ever received a PSA 9 grade. A truly remarkable piece of perhaps the best baseball player in recent memory!
