The 1993 Upper Deck SP #279 Derek Jeter Premier Prospects card stands as the flagship rookie issue of the Hall of Fame shortstop. Graded BGS 9 Mint by Beckett Grading Services, this copy features subgrades of 9.5 for Centering, 9.5 for Edges, 9 for Surface, and 8.5 for Corners. The 1993 SP set is widely recognized for its extreme condition sensitivity due to its full-bleed metallic foil surface, which easily shows edge chipping and surface wear. Beckett population data reports 3,240 copies evaluated at the BGS 9 Mint tier.
Launched in 1993 as Upper Deck's inaugural super-premium release, the SP set introduced foil-backed card technology to modern baseball card manufacturing. Card #279 documents Jeter following his selection as the sixth overall pick in the 1992 MLB Draft, preceding a 20-year career with the New York Yankees featuring 3,465 career hits, five World Series championships, 14 All-Star selections, and his 2020 induction into the National Baseball Hall of Fame.Show more
