Description: Winning buyer will receive the card described in the item title, a minor league rookie card of SAMMY SOSA. This is Sosa's 1990 Star minor league baseball card when he played with the Charlotte Rangers. To date in 2020, there is still no BGS 10 for this card...only a low population of 53 for BGS 9.5s! For long term investment/value and collect-ability, minor league cards are the way to go due to their very limited production (most team sets are produced in quantities of 3000 or less with some as little as only 750 sets!!) and often is the first professional baseball card of the superstar player pictured. So while there will be thousands of Sosa's rookies around in the main stream brands, there will be far fewer of this card available...especially in mint graded condition. Note that the picture is the EXACT scan of the card winning buyer will be receiving - subgrades of 10 centering, 9.5 corners, 9.0 edges and 9.5 surface Beckett seria #2333167!! This card has been professionally graded a BGS 9.5 (which is GEM MINT!!), by Beckett Grading Services, one of the top two grading services in the sports card industry. Why buy a graded card by either Beckett Grading Services (BGS/BCCG) or PSA? Because Beckett and PSA are the top two 3rd party grading companies in the collectibles industry. Why buy a graded card in the first place? Because if you want your card to appreciate in value, the condition of the card is very important. Having the card sealed in the case & it's condition graded allows you to easily sell/trade the card online. CLICK HERE to get a look at our EBAY store which contains many other awesome sports cards! Shipping is $3.75 for the first card and $0.75 for each additional card in the United States. International orders go through eBay's Global Shipping program. International orders go through eBay's Global Shipping program.Update 8/16/20 - as eBay has required me to switch over to "managed payment", I will need to adjust each of my listings one at a time for the charitable contribution part. Though my listings now do not say so specifically about the charity contribution, I will continue to deduct 10% off every sale and send those proceeds to TWO different charities I am fundraising for. One charity, World Help, drills and installs water wells that provide clean/usable water for villages of up to 1,000 people per location in Africa. Fundraising recently completed funds needed for water well #3 so thank you to everyone that has purchased from this store over the last 4 years...you played a part in that! The other 5% will go to an orphanage call Nueva Esperanza Children's Home in Tijuana, Mexico. This orphanage cares for 30+ children and is run completely from donations from people. I have visited the orphanage 4 times over the past 10 years and it's a joy to see the children each time. So rest assure that 10% of your purchase is going to these causes.
