Known as “Mr. November” and “Captain Clutch”, Derek Jeter is concluding his 15th full season with a career .314 batting average and over 2,900 lifetime hits. He should celebrate his 3,000th hit before his 37th birthday, and it’s conceivable that he could play five more seasons and amass another 900 hits, making him one of the top five all-time hit leaders in major league history! The Captain of the Yankees since 2003, Jeter’s presence in the lineup has played a pivotal role in the Yankees dynasty, having secured five World Series Championships while being named to the All-Star game eleven times. With a lengthy and successful career in the Big Apple, Derek Jeter items still remain high in demand yet low in supply, with game-used equipment rarely offered to the collecting public. With this in mind, Mile High Card Company is excited to offer this circa 2002 Derek Jeter game-used road jersey. On the front left tail is the appropriate Russell Athletic label and 2” extra length flag tag with double tackle twill stitching of the number and letters. Authentication from Troy Kinunen and Dave Bushing/MEARS,SCD gives this jersey a final grade of A5, the highest possible for a modern jersey. Additional LOA from Mile High Card Co.
