Key subjects

The 2018 rookie class includes Shohei Ohtani, Ronald Acuña Jr., Juan Soto, Gleyber Torres, Rafael Devers and Miguel Andujar. The veterans include Aaron Judge, Mike Trout and Derek Jeter. Ohtani, Acuña, Torres and Jeter all have autographs.

Grading considerations

The Ohtani, Acuña and Soto rookies and every numbered color parallel are the cards most worth grading. Black-and-white images show print defects and surface scratches clearly, so look at the surface and centering closely.
