At first sight, this may look like an ordinary 1993 Upper Deck Jeter card. But, if you look at the Upper Deck hologram in the lower left corner of the reverse side of the card, you can clearly see it’s a golden color as opposed to the regular silver version.
There is no shortage of great and valuable Derek Jeter cards available today. In the years to come, there will likely be many more. Here are ten of the greatest. They may not be the most valuable or the rarest, but each has made a significant impact on the hobby.
Documentary:
Jeter, who is slated for Hall of Fame induction this summer after coming up a vote shy of unanimous selection, is the current part-owner of the Marlins after buying the franchise in 2017.
Of course, Jeter’s on-field accolades far overshadowed the man he was off the field, with the former Yankees captain keeping his private life far, far away from the prying eyes of New York tabloids for his entire career. That seems to be something that will change with this series.

The series follows Jeter’s career through his Hall of Fame induction, and will also focus on the man behind the player. Jeter kept his personal affairs away from the spotlight for the majority of his lengthy career, an achievement in itself considering that he played in the media capital of the world.
Famed director Spike Lee serves as an executive producer for the series, while Emmy-award winner Randy Wilkins will direct the series.
