Winning buyer will receive the rookie card described in the item title, a rare rookie card of new Toronto Blue Jays superstar starting pitcher, MAX SCHERZER. This Scherzer rookie card is the rare GOLD FOIL version from the 2008 Topps Update set.  The gold foil is in Scherzer's name and the "topps" brand on the front of the card.  The regular card is in plain black.  Look around ebay to see if you can find these rare GOLD FOIL Topps rookie in graded format! Scherzer won the NL Cy Young award in 2017, joining the ranks of Roger Clemens, Randy Johnson, Greg Maddux, Steve Carlton, Pedro Martinez, Sandy Koufax, Tom Seaver, Jim Palmer and Clayton Kershaw as the only pitchers in MLB history with 3 Cy Young awards.  Scherzer finished the 2017 season with 2149 Ks.  By the time his career is over, Scherzer should be in the elite group of pitchers with 250 career wins and 3000 strikeouts, a career worth of the Hall of Fame.  There's still a lot of baseball though to play for Scherzer. Note that the picture is the EXACT scan of the card winning buyer will be receiving!!

  • This card is graded a BCCG 10 (which is MINT or better!!), by Beckett Collectors Club Grading, a service of Beckett Grading Services, the top grading service 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.

A portion of the proceeds from this listing will be sent to the world relief organization World Help. I am partnering with them to build a deep bore water well in a 3rd world country. This water well will provide clean/usable water for a community of up to 1000 people! Thanks in advance for your contribution towards this cause.


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.
