THIS CARD IS THE ONLY ONE IN THE WORLD !

In 35 years this is the only ONE to ever grade BGS Gem Mint 9.5!

There are no PSA 10's of this card!

It is unquestionably the RAREST Chipper Jones Card.  There are 74 Desert Shield cards that have graded Gem - it is pretty clear that the Classic Draft Pick 1990 blank back is the better card.

In 2012 Chipper Jones joined Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Ted Williams and Stan Musial as the only players in MLB history to record at least 2,500 hits, 1,000 walks, 1,500 runs, 1,500 RBI's, 450 Homers, 500 Doubles while hitting .300 with a .400 on base percentage and .500 slugging percentage.  If you add the 150 stolen bases in his career he is the only player to reach all of those combined milestones in baseball history.

Chipper and Mickey Mantle are the only two switch hitters in MLB history to have at least 400 Homers, a Slugging percentage of .500 and an On Base percentage of .400.  And only Chipper and Frankie Frisch hit .300 from each side of the plate as switch hitters with at least 5000 at bats.
