Description: This is a truly one-of-a-kind offering: A gem mint 1999 Finest Gold Refractor die-cut card, likely the only one featuring pristine centering (10) paired with the only match print photo proof in existence. Shortly after being purchased 10-20 years ago, the print was sent to BGS for authentication and encapsulation, This rare match print photo proof was used in the production of CC Sabathia's 1999 Finest cards, and both the card and the photo proof are being offered together. Included is a Certificate of Authenticity (COA) from Topps associated with the match print photo proof. CC Sabathia is a historic figure in Major League Baseball, known as the only player to lead both the American League (AL) and National League (NL) in shutouts during the same season (2008). A Cy Young winner in 2007, Sabathia was widely regarded as the best pitcher in MLB during 2008 but narrowly missed out on the award in both leagues due to spending time in both leagues. With over 3,000 strikeouts, 250+ wins, and an unforgettable performance that helped lead the New York Yankees to a World Series Championship in 2009 (where he earned ALCS MVP honors), Sabathia’s postseason dominance further cemented his legacy. Recently elected to the MLB Hall of Fame, this piece celebrates Sabathia's extraordinary career. A must-have for any serious collector, this is a unique opportunity to own a rare and iconic piece of baseball history.
