Who is Headed to Cooperstown? (Part 1 of 3)

Albert Pujols

Age: 40

Recommended Card: 2001 Topps Chrome Traded #T247

With more than 3,000 hits and 650 home runs, Pujols is a certain first ballot Hall of Famer.  He is also helped because he spent much of his career in the baseball mecca of Saint Louis, where he won 2 World Series.  A word of caution as you shop for the recommended card.  Due to Albert’s popularity in 2001, Topps issued a version of his Chrome card with the words “late edition” in the upper right.  There is nothing wrong with purchasing the “late edition” card but know that it is not as valuable as the version without the “late edition” verbiage.
