Key rookies and prospects

Grading considerations

Aaron Judge and Gleyber Torres short prints are among the cards collectors commonly consider for grading. Heritage's paper stock shows soft corners and off-center cuts, and the coin relics are thick enough to need larger holders. See our grading scale.
