Card #BP105. Bowman Prospects. PSA 10. Gem Mint. The Surinamese shortstop, at his earliest documented grade, in perfect condition. Xander Bogaerts was born October 1, 1992, in Paramaribo, Suriname — the capital city of the Republic of Suriname in northeastern South America, a former Dutch colony on the Atlantic coast between Guyana and French Guiana, a country whose baseball pipeline to the professional game in the United States is modest but real. Bogaerts was signed by the Boston Red Sox as a 16-year-old international amateur in 2009, part of the international scouting infrastructure the Red Sox had built to identify talent beyond the domestic draft. He developed through the Red Sox minor league system, climbing through the organization while simultaneously becoming one of the most hyped shortstop prospects in baseball, and reached Fenway Park in 2013 — the iconic ballpark in the Kenmore Square neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts, the Green Monster, the American League East — in time to be part of the 2013 World Series championship team (Boston Red Sox 4, St. Louis Cardinals 2). He was part of the 2018 World Series championship team as well (Boston Red Sox 4, Los Angeles Dodgers 1). Four All-Star selections. Two Silver Slugger Awards. And then in December 2022, he signed with the San Diego Padres for 11 years and $280 million — the largest shortstop contract in MLB history at the time. The 2012 Bowman Prospects card is from two years before his MLB debut — the prospect document, the card that exists before the career proved the scouts right. PSA 10 Gem Mint. Perfect specimen. Ultra rare at this grade for this card.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e✨ \u003cstrong\u003ePSA 10 GEM MINT: 2012 Bowman Prospects Xander Bogaerts #BP105 — Paramaribo Suriname South America International Signing Age 16 2009, Red Sox SS 2013 World Series Champ 2018 World Series Champ 4x All-Star Fenway Park Boston MA AL East — Bowman Prospects Early RC PSA 10 Gem Mint Ultra Rare\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eXander Bogaerts — Paramaribo, Suriname (South America); Boston Red Sox SS (international signing at 16, 2009); 2013 and 2018 World Series champion; 4x All-Star; 2x Silver Slugger; Fenway Park, Boston, MA; AL East; San Diego Padres (2023+). 2012 Bowman Prospects card, #BP105.
