Lot # 1826: 2015 Bowman Chrome 2001 Rookie Japanese Jumbo Autograph #351 Ichiro Suzuki Purple Refractor #10/10 - MLB

Presented is an oversized, 8 x 10-inch refractor tribute to Seattle Mariners Hall of Famer Ichiro Suzuki’s celebrated 2001 Bowman Chrome rookie card. This 2015 Bowman Chrome 2001 Rookie Japanese Jumbo Autograph card is signed by Suzuki in bold blue ink on the front. Produced by Topps Authentics, this is a rare Purple Refractor variation and bears a hand-written"10/10" limitation number on the Japanese-text reverse. It represents the final copy in an edition limited to just ten examples, by far one of the scarcest Ichiro autograph formats issued by Topps. Acquired directly from Topps Authentics in 2020, the card remains in its original factory holder and is secured by a Topps Authentics seal. Mint condition overall. An MLB certification sticker is affixed to the reverse. Extremely few of these jumbo refractor autographs have reached the secondary market, making this purple Japanese variation a standout target for advanced Ichiro collectors and anyone seeking a distinctive centerpiece that complements the standard-size Bowman Chrome rookie. Total dimensions: 8 x 10 inches.
