Offered here is a nice signed rookie card pairing of two Atlanta Braves superstars from the club's National League dynasty from the 1990s to the mid-2000s. Both were instrumental, along with Greg Maddux and Tom Glavine, in Atlanta's 14 straight NL West/East Division crowns from 1991-2005 that included five NL pennants and one World Series title.
Ace right-hander John Smoltz spent the first 20 years of his Hall of Fame career in Atlanta, compiling 210 of his 213 career victories (even after serving as closer for three years) and winning the NL Cy Young in 1996. He has signed his 1989 Fleer #603 rookie perfect 10/10 black marker. The card is well-centered and appears at NM or NM-MT.
Perennial All-Star third-baseman Chipper Jones was the epitome of consistency in his 19 years as a Bravo, retiring with 468 career homers and a .303 lifetime average. In a 15-year span from 1995-2009, Chipper averaged just under 30 homers and 100 RBI each season. He was named NL MVP in 1999 and joined Smoltzy in Cooperstown in 2018. He has boldly signed his 1991 Upper Deck #55 rookie in blue 10/10 blue ink. The NM-MT/Mint looking card is super clean and sharp.
Both cards are slabbed Authentic by PSA/DNA and present great opportunities for dual-grade upgrades.
