In the ’90s Chipper Jones was better known as the third baseman of the Atlanta Braves. In 1991 he had his own base set of the season, which led to “Desert Sheild” holograms. This was only accessible to soldiers who participated in Operation Desert Storm and Jones’s rookie card was part of the list. A card with the hologram can sell for a few hundred dollars.
