Chipper Jones – 1991 Desert Shield
One of the most famous MLB players in the ‘90s, Chipper Jones was best known as the third baseman of the Atlanta Braves. The most valuable card of his is linked to an iconic moment of that decade. In 1991, Topps came out with a special version of the base set from the season, which came with “Desert Sheild” holograms. This was only available to soldiers involved in Operation Desert Storm. It included a Jones rookie card! If you have a copy with the hologram, you can get hundreds of bucks for it.
