This was the card for me growing up.

Before eBay, before grading, before analytics—it was just this: a cosmic arc, a violent swing, and a name that felt like thunder.

I kept this exact card in a three-ring binder in knock-off Ultra Pro pages, but even as a kid, I knew it needed more protection so I put it in a top loader. Probably no penny sleeve. But that was my museum glass.

The 1993 Fleer Ultra Home Run Kings insert captured Belle right as he exploded into his prime. That season, he racked up 38 homers, led the league with 129 RBIs, and officially became a problem for pitchers everywhere.

This PSA 9 is one of just three graded at that level, with only one copy higher in the population.

Not rare by print run—but emotionally?

One of one.
