Yes, the Jeter is the best card of this set. This is arguably the second best Chipper Jones rookie (after his 1991 Topps Desert Shield). But, just like the Jeter, these are also extremely condition sensitive. So glad to have this one in my collection. I might upgrade to a signed version of this at some point. Willing to sacrifice on the grade to get the autograph. Loved watching him play. Great hitter and all-around classy guy.

Chipper was one of the most collectable and personal baseball stars of the 1990-2010 era with Griffey, Jeter, Ichiro, Frank Thomas, Pujols and a few others. Anytime you get can a high-end parallel like this one, you try to take it!

The essential credentials is on the quintessential late 90’-early 2000’s best parallels list. This 2003 is my 4th favorite after 97-98, 2006 and 98-99. But still a hot card of a popular player and hall of famer.
