Aaron Judge shot to baseball superstardom in 2017, smashing an American League-leading 52 home runs during his rookie season. Little did collectors know that he was just getting started. An MVP winner in two of the last three seasons, Judge’s heroics have made him a Bronx legend. There’s no argument that the supersized slugger is one of the greatest home run hitters in the game’s history. And though he has rookie cards throughout 2017 products, the imagery on this 2017 Topps Chrome Sapphire Edition Rookie Autograph is particularly appealing. Judge appears to be watching one of his earliest home runs fly into the New York night. It’s something the slugger has done hundreds of times since, with that power surge making his earliest cards, including this PSA 10 Ruby parallel stamped 05/10, some of the most targeted by modern baseball collectors.
The certification number on this card has been checked against the third-party grader's online database and is active as of 06/10/2025.
