When it comes to modern baseball stars, their 1st Bowman Chrome Autograph typically becomes one of their key cards. These are often their first MLB autographs and come in a variety of levels thanks to their many Refractor parallels. More recently, separate Sapphire Edition releases have made the overall rainbows bigger, delivering their own versions and colors noted by their patterned background. Of these, Padparadscha Sapphire parallels are tops given their 1/1 pedigree.
Combine all of that and you've got one of the best James Wood cards in existence. In his first full season in the majors, the slugger hit 31 home runs and drove in 94. The outfielder looks to be a cornerstone for a young Washington Nationals offense heading into a more promising future.
The certification number on this card has been checked against the third-party grader's online database and is active as of 04/03/2026.
