Retired player A. Pujols, along with Ichiro, who won the American League Rookie of the Year in 2001, won the National League Rookie of the Year in the same year. Pujols went on to achieve remarkable records throughout his career and has now retired, with a likely induction into the Hall of Fame. I don't think you often see a GEM MINT condition card from 2001. I believe the value will steadily increase over the next five years until his Hall of Fame induction.
