Tiger Woods Signed 1996 SI for Kids Series 3 Card - PSA/DNA & JSA Graded 10 - Rarest!
There are only two signed examples in the world, and this is the superior of the two! Scour through the (light) blue sea of 1,600 Tiger Woods 1996 Sports Illustrated For Kids PSA submissions with the utmost precision and only two examples of this cornerstone Tiger card debut carrying his easily recognizable signature will be revealed. Of these two signed examples, or 0.1% of the submissions since the release over 25 years ago, one of those received an 8 grade. The other? Perched in this lot atop a throne before you is the only {Population 1/1} deemed a PERFECT 10 in autograph quality by PSA! A fellow behemoth in the autograph authentication field James Spence Authentication company echoed that judgement, remarkably giving this autograph a matching 10/10!
The Golf Auction proudly presents the best of the best, a card of colossal proportions - Tiger Woods' first Rookie Card carrying a perfect 10 black sharpie penmanship across his Sunday Red shirt. Staple publication Sports Illustrated For Kids celebrated the soon-to-be star with his first card issuance in the December 1996 magazine, promptly coordinated and released following the phenom's August 29th announcement to become professional after three US Amateur victories in a row (pictured here at the 1996 US Amateur). Tiger Woods didn't just move the needle, he was - and still is the needle. Fans of golf wait with baited breath for the 5-time Masters and 15-time major winner's every move, a polarizing figure inside and outside of the ropes. This card is firmly positioned in the upper-echelon of not only Tiger Woods cards, but the larger categories of both Golf and Sports Cards. For accuracy purposes only, there is small paper loss on the backside bottom left corner that does not affect the presentation of the card or the pristine signature on the frontside.
