How I Arrived at the Hobby Score

This card received an 89.5 overall Hobby Score.

The 2001 Topps Chrome Traded Albert Pujols Rookie is one of the most visually striking and widely recognized Pujols rookies. With its chromium shine and sharper image quality, it has remained a collector favorite since release. The Traded set in 2001 was issued in limited boxes—making it more scarce than regular Topps Chrome base cards from other years.

As Pujols' career progressed into the record books—3 MVPs, 2 World Series titles, and 703 home runs—this card consistently held value and status. While the PSA population is higher than some rarer rookies, the combination of brand strength, aesthetics, and historical relevance helps justify its strong Hobby Score.
