JUAN SOTO 2018 Topps Update Legends Gold 5x7 rookie # / 10 BGS 9.5 GEM 10 made

This rookie card of Soto is part of Topps' limited gold edition of 5x7 inch sized 2018 Topps Update Legends Gold set. Only TEN of these Gold Topps Update Legends sets were made by Topps... Yes, only TEN in total so if you are an Juan Soto collector, you can be one of 10 Soto collectors to add this rare card to your collection!

Each card is machine numbered out of 10 on the front of the card in the bottom left hand corner. This card has been encased by Beckett Grading to preserve its' condition and makes for a fantastic display piece in your collection. The card itself measures 5x7 inches, larger than a regular sized baseball card.

Soto, as a 20 year old in 2019, had an even better sophomore season than his fantastic rookie year. In 150 games/542 at bats with the Nationals, Soto batted.

282 with 153 hits, 32 doubles, 34 homers, 110 runs scored and 110 RBIs. One of his most outstanding stat continues to be his batting eye shown by his ability to draw walks (108). Soto's walk to strikeout ratio is usually found with perennial All-Star batting champions, not a 20 year old in his second major league season.

By season's end, Soto was often found batting in the cleanup spot in the lineup, showing how much he means to his team. With the Nationals just a few games away from a World Series championship, Soto's cards and collectibles are all headed to major increases. Lock in now before his stuff becomes too expensive!! This card has been professionally graded a BGS 9.5 (which is GEM MINT) and encased by Beckett Grading Services, the top grading service in the sports card industry. Because Beckett and PSA are the top two 3rd party grading companies in the collectibles industry.

Because if you want your card to appreciate in value, the condition of the card is very important. Having the card sealed in the case & it's condition graded allows you to easily sell/trade the card online. There is NO RETURN for this rare collectible item.
