The card collector's view

Mauer's flagship rookie is the 2001 Bowman Chrome Draft Picks #BDP155 RC—his first official prospect card, with PSA 10 copies commanding premiums during Twins anniversary years. The 2002 Bowman Chrome #391 RC is the secondary chase from his early prospect era. His 2009 MVP-season Topps Chrome and Bowman Sterling cards hold steady collector value. Panini retired-legends inserts in Diamond Kings feature Mauer in classic Twins navy-and-red.
