Collection: Matt Kemp Rookie Autographed Baseball Card


I just love this card. You can just see the promise and youthful exuberance emanating from it.  Matt Kemp was just a kid, and he was far removed from the super-stardom that would shortly surround him.  But you knew it was coming.  At least, I like to think I had a crystal ball back them that allowed me to buy this on eBay for a price that would be a steal today.  If I remember correctly, I paid no more than $20 delivered for it.  My only regret is not picking up a big stack of these cards to hold on to for a rainy day.

Featured here is a 2005 Bowman Chrome autographed rookie card of Matt Kemp.

    1. What was amazing about this cards value was how fast in sprung up in value. By 2006 at the National Convention in Anaheim I saw a dealer with a giant stack of them for $50 (or was it $60). Anyway, the word had gotten out that he would be a superstar. I felt lucky to have gotten it so early.
