CERTIFIED ON-CARD AUTOGRAPH · GUARANTEED BY LEAF TRADING CARDS

The signature is applied directly to the card, not to a sticker. The back states it verbatim: “On the front of this card is an authentic autograph of: CARTER HOLTON. The authenticity of this autograph is guaranteed by Leaf Trading Cards.” No third-party authentication is needed or implied.

Why This Card Matters

Holton arrived in pro ball with a genuine strikeout résumé: at Vanderbilt he rang up 251 strikeouts in 200 innings, working with a 98-mph fastball that carries and a slider that left-handed hitters struggle to reach. This is an on-card signature from the Diamonds in the Rough insert, hand-numbered 19 of 25 — twenty-five copies exist in this parallel. Early-career autographs of college arms with that kind of miss rate are exactly the cards that get expensive later if the arm plays; they are also the cards that stay cheap if it does not, which is why this one is priced off its own sales rather than off the scouting report.

Leaf Is Unlicensed — No Team Marks on This Card

Leaf Trading Cards is licensed by MLB Players, Inc. but not by Major League Baseball, so no team name, logo or uniform mark appears anywhere on this card, front or back. The player is identified by name only. The back is a certification back — it carries the autograph guarantee, the card code DR-CH1 and the serial 19/25, with no statistics or biography.
