Been searching for a 2001 SP Authentic Chirography Auto /100 or /25 for a few years now. If anyone comes across one, please let me know!!

2016 Topps Now
-International hit record 4,257 + date inscription # 1/10
-MLB 3,000 hits base relic #/99, #/10, 1/1

I don't own much of the rare rookie cards of him, so these are my holy grail in the Ichiro collection.






Variety of graded cards, including pretty rare & quirky 2017 Topps Now Road to Opening Day cards (print run of just 54).

Not a card but some Ichiro batting gloves with some solid usage.

This day in 2012, Ichiro was traded to the Yankees. The Mariners got a hell of a return

In exchange for Suzuki, Seattle, sitting in last place in the AL West with a 42-55 record, received minor league right-handers D.J. Mitchell and Danny Farquhar

I almost called out “bereavement” at work when Ichiro was traded. My wife got me tickets to the next game so I can see it for myself. I just about cried when I saw Ichiro in a Yankees uniform.

Just completed this rainbow and thought I’d share.
2016 Topps Now Ichiro 3,000 Hits Game Used Base Relic.

I was lucky enough (fast enough) to grab the 1/1 when it first came out from Topps.com, along with #/99 and #/10.
I never really felt the need to complete a rainbow afterwards, but few weeks ago on PWCC auction, bunch of rare Topps Now autos and relics came up, and there I found my missing parallels of #/49 and #/25 (which were already graded by BGS).
I went for it, and here is the result.
After 4 years of the card’s initial release, I have completed the rainbow.

Thank you! Got it for 12 bucks off eBay....it looks almost 3d in hand.

Finding this card in my basement got me back into cards after several years, currently having it graded, hoping to get it back soon.

Is it a print one can buy online or did someone personally paint that for you?

I believe it’s a Stephen Holland original. Only thing that’s ever come up was a tiny photo of it in a library on his website and I’m pretty sure it’s the only one that exists. I may eventually take it to an art appraiser to get more information but for now, it will stay on my wall lol.

I love this card...picked one up with the Ebay coupon!

Any of you guys win that 1/1 2009 Bowman Red that ended a couple days ago. It wasn't in the best shape but still a nice card.

That's awesome that you have the 1/1. I only have a /49 myself. Really wish it was an auto relic since I was at the game myself. Hope I can meet him one day to get it signed.

Well I just won one of my holy grail Ichiros...the infamous 2001 Topps Retrofractor! I can’t wait to get it in!
