What is the most valuable Aaron Judge rookie card?

As Aaron Judge pursued his historic 62nd home run, tickets to watch him play were being sold as potential lottery tickets, with sports media and collectors speculating on the value of the home run ball.

The fan who caught the ball was immediately escorted out of the stadium and reportedly received a $2 million offer from an auction house.

While the 62nd home run ball may be the crown jewel of the Aaron Judge collection, there are many other pieces of the player's history that could be well worth the investment.

Game-worn jerseys, cleats, and gloves will undoubtedly fetch a pretty penny, but baseball cards might be more profitable for collectors. All mint-conditioned Judge cards have a certain value, and getting your hands on these rookie cards can fetch serious money on your hands.

A 2013 Bowman Chrome Superfractor Judge rookie card set a record for Judge cards, selling for $324,000 in the May Premier Auction at PWCC Marketplace. It is the most in-demand rookie card among collectors.

Can Aaron Judge secure his first MVP award?

The eyes of the MLB world have recently been glued to the American MVP race between Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani. Both players had great seasons, crossing off records en route to an exciting finish.

Ohtani's once-in-a-lifetime talent and statistics have not been seen since Babe Ruth. Judge, on the other hand, sits as the American League and Yankee's home run king after hitting 62.

There are arguments to be made for either Ohtani or Judge to win the award. MLB award voters will need to weigh the statistics, team success, and the importance of the player to their own team. Even though Ohtani is producing at a level never seen before, Judge and the New York Yankees won 99 games, as opposed to the Angels' 73.
