In dramatic fashion, Pujols hits two HRs to gain entry into the 700 Home Run Club!

2001 Topps Pristine Gold Refractor, Population 1

Congratulations Albert! The 700 HR Club is truly the elite of the elite. Think about these names…Babe Ruth, Hank Aaron, Barry Bonds and now Albert Pujols. Albert just moved into a top 20 and possibly top 10 player in MLB history. Simply amazing career.

Here is my favorite RC. It boggles my mind how undervalued his 2001 Finest Autograph RC is compared to his 2001 Bowman Chrome Autograph RC. Albert only signed 500 copies of each card, but since the Finest isn’t numbered, people don’t realize that. Just look at the PSA population report for the two. Just 261 Finest ever graded and 219 Bowman Chrome. The Finest was a pack pull, so all 500 were issued. The Bowman Chrome was a redemption, so it stands that only 350-400 are in circulation. Yet the Bowman Chrome fetches $17,500 to $25,000 in PSA 9, while the Finest sells for $2000-$3000 in PSA 10. Guessing that just changed 🙂

Regardless, The Machine is a must have for all collections now….

Congratulations to an amazing player and, from all accounts, an even better person.

Not this 700 Club I'm guessing!

What an amazing career.

Loving these cards. Numbered/auto cards truly peaked in the early 2000s. These are incredible examples.

here are my favorites that i have owned for a while now.

Here's a few.

Love the 01 SP Authentic future watch card. The ship sailed on that card years ago for me (affordability).

Albert on top x2

Such great fun to watch Pujols the last two months. I prefer his Topps traded rookie to any other, regardless of price.

Been watching his career since he came up in 2001. As a Cardinals fan I was very disappointed when he left but I understood the business. From that moment in 2012 when I found out he was going to the Angels I was counting down the years until he could come back to the Cardinals then and it happened! I remember thinking..... "if he doesn't get traded before then, 2022 he can retire a Cardinal!" What a year it has been as a Cardinals fan!

Here are signed game used batting gloves from early 2006 that I got from his foundation.

Here is a run of PSA 10 Topps cards from 2001 to 2019. I also have 2020 and 2021 but they are not pictured.

Here is a 2001 Topps Traded Gold PSA 9 that has exploded in value.

Here are 3 refractors.

And here is one of my favorites - a signed rookie card.

Amazing cards! I've got to throw one more in the mix. I opened a crap ton of these blasters back in 2001 and hit this card. Stayed in the pc ever since.

Doug5307 · September 29, 2022 6:32PM

I don't have many, and couple of the graders (HGA) are iffy, but they are mine and aren't going anywhere. My two favorite (HGA of course) are the two 2001 Topps Chrome. I really want raw versions of both, but I'm too much of a tight wad to pay the asking prices.

WizardofOz1982 · October 27, 2022 12:05PM

My current favorite by far.

ColoradoCollector · October 28, 2022 9:31AM

The most modern card I own. Hell of a career, Albert. Looking forward to your induction into the HOF in 2028.
