Description: Winning buyer will receive the rookie card described in the item title, the first official AUTO autographed card of new Philadelphia Phillies closer, IAN KENNEDY. Only 250 of these rare 2004 BLUE autos were signed...and most are not in mint condition due to the way the sets were packaged. Don't confuse this first year rookie auto with the 2005 USA version. Note that the picture is a scan used for informational purposes and may or may not be the serial number pictured but you are guaranteed the same rookie card with the same BCCG 10 MINT final grade!! This card has been professionally graded a BCCG 10 (which is MINT or better!!), the highest grade possible given by Beckett Collectors Club Grading, a service of Beckett Grading Services, the top grading service in the sports card industry. Why buy a graded card by either Beckett Grading Services (BGS/BCCG) or PSA? Because Beckett and PSA are the top two 3rd party grading companies in the collectibles industry. Why buy a graded card in the first place? Because if you want your card to appreciate in value, the condition of the card is very important. Having the card sealed in the case & it's condition graded allows you to easily sell/trade the card online. CLICK HERE to see the other Team USA baseball cards.

A portion of the proceeds from this listing will be sent to the world relief organization World Help. I am partnering with them to build a deep bore water well in a 3rd world country. This water well will provide clean/usable water for a community of up to 1000 people! Thanks in advance for your contribution towards this cause. Update 8/16/20 - as eBay has required me to switch over to "managed payment", I will need to adjust each of my listings one at a time for the charitable contribution part. Though my listings now do not say so specifically about the charity contribution, I will continue to deduct 10% off every sale and send those proceeds to the clean water organization that helps build water wells in parts of the world that needs clean water for daily living. So rest assure that 10% of your purchase is going to that cause. Fundraising recently completed funds needed for water well #3 so thank you to everyone that has bought over the last 4 years...you played a part in that! Going forward, we will begin fundraising for water well #4 and possibly also contributing to the daily operating costs of running a 30 child orphanage that I have known over the past 10 years in Mexico.
