Clayton Kershaw played his enitre career for the Los Angeles Dodgers—an increasingly rare event in today's MLB. In the nearly two decades since his debut, the fans at Chavez Ravine have witnessed one of the greatest pitchers of all-time. Kershaw is a three-time Cy Young winner, three-time World Series champion, NL MVP winner, and 2011 Pitching Triple Crown winner.
2008 Bowman Sterling Baseball is one of the high-end products from his rookie season. Much of that came from the product's ample autographs, but there are also unsigned, low-numbered parallels such as this. It's the Variation Red Refractor version of Kershaw's base card, which pictures him in a grey uniform. He's wearing a blue uniform on his regular base card.
Refractor rainbows have evolved since then. While Red Refractors are typically numbered out /5 today, this card of the Dodgers icon is a 1/1.
Graded a NM-MT 8, it's a pop 1 in the PSA registry with none higher.
