Unique Aaron Judge June 17, 2016 Minor League AAA Game Used Jersey - Game Used Only "Once" in a Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders Game vs. the Gwinnet Braves  PSA/DNA Autograph LOA
"All Rise"... here comes "The Judge"! Yankee rookie sensation Aaron Judge continues to "light-up" professional pitchers with his Goliath-like power responsible for 39 round-trippers at the time this was written; second only to Mark McGuire's 49 dingers as the most home runs ever hit by a major league rookie. In lieu of his incredible season, several of Judge's game used jerseys have recently surfaced, realizing five-figure plus pricing points that have approached $50K! In our last auction, we sold a 2016 Aaron Judge minor league RailRiders game used jersey for $12K+, substantiating the extraordinary excitement affiliated with this young rising star.

The popular phrase "history repeats itself" rings loud and clear because once again we are proud to offer a "one of a kind" Aaron Judge Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders AAA game used jersey that was a special edition uniform only worn for a June 17, 2016 home game vs. the Gwinnet Braves. Unquestionably a "one of a kind" collectible, this unique "Man vs Marathon" game jersey was issued to support "Ryan's Run 7", worn by Judge only that single game that was played at the RailRiders home PNC Field in Moosic, PA., with the RailRiders losing to the Braves by a 7-1 score.

Clearly, one can see its designed "Marathon" style with the pinned front logo popular blackout home styled black and green sleeved jersey depicting the "Railriders" team name on the front with Aaron Judge's renowned #99 printed on the verso. Even more impressive is that Judge boldly signed his full name on one of the reverse side "9's", and the right shoulder depicts his pine tar stain as additional validation of its incredible game use.

Our esteemed consigned obtained this incredible Aaron Judge heirloom via a silent auction that featured these "unique" style jerseys, capturing Luis Severino's jersey as well (a separate lot in this auction). He also had the joy of meeting Judge before and after the game, describing his as "the perfect gentleman". The photos portrayed in this lot clearly match this magnificent offering to Aaron Judge, especially considering the jersey was only used for that sole June 17, 2016 night game.

The autograph is authenticated by PSA/DNA. It is no secret that along with Mike Trout, Aaron Judge arguably resides as the Major League's most talked about player, with the 6'7", 280 lb. juggernaut "turning back the clock" to an era when another Yankee legend named Mickey Mantle was testing the confines of every ballpark with his tape measure blasts.

Aaron Judge's round trippers not only leave the ballpark with unheard of exit velocities between 118-120 mph, but synonymous with "The Mick", several of his blast have approached distances of 500 feet or more! As previously stated, barring injury he will soon set the all-time rookie home run mark, and has already claimed the 2017 All-Star Home Run Derby title. Therefore, it comes as little surprise that fans anxiously storm ballparks to see this rising young superstar, with this "one of a kind" Yankees AAA game worn RailRiders jersey arguably residing as one of his most exalted collectibles at this early stage of Judge's professional career! - PSA/DNA LOA
