How I Arrived at the Hobby Score

This card received an 88 overall Hobby Score.

The 2001 Topps Traded Albert Pujols rookie (non-Chrome) is arguably more in demand than the chrome version, being base topps had had strong long-term demand since 1952. It shares the same photo and card number as the Chrome, but uses traditional Topps cardstock. Topps traded is a late season addition, and current blaster boxes sell for well over $500.

While it lacks the flash of its Chrome counterpart, it remains a key Pujols rookie and benefits from the same legendary resume—3 MVPs, over 3,300 hits, and membership in the 700 home run club. The card’s historical importance and accessible price point make it a staple in many collections, earning it a solid Hobby Score.
