Tony Parker 2001-02 UD Flight Team Key Signatures RC AUTO BGS 9.5 OLD #'d/100

🔥 PACK-PULLED ROOKIE AUTO — BGS 9.5 GEM MINT 🔥
2001–02 Upper Deck Flight Team Key Signatures — Tony Parker RC Auto — Serial #’d /100

This is a true pack-pulled Tony Parker rookie autograph, issued from Upper Deck Flight Team Key Signatures, one of the premier autograph sets of the early 2000s.

I personally purchased a sealed case of this product at release and pulled this card myself. It went directly from pack → sleeve → BGS, where it was graded at the time of release, over 20 years ago. You can verify this by checking the BGS serial number, which reflects the early grading era.

The card has never been resubmitted, altered, or handled beyond initial grading — it remains exactly as it was when first pulled.

🧾 Important Grading Context

• BGS 9.5 Gem Mint

• At the time this card was graded, BGS did NOT assign autograph grades

• The autograph is original, on-card, and fully authentic — simply not numerically graded due to era standards

This is a true early-era BGS slab, highly respected by advanced collectors.
