In 1959, the Topps Chewing Gum company began the practice of selecting its own All-Star Rookie Team. Players selected to the team were honored with an All-Star Rookie Cup added to their respective baseball card the next year. What most fans do not realize is that in addition to placing a cup on the player's card, Topps also presents each player with a physical presentation cup. Offered here is the cup issued to Minnesota Twins second baseman Chuck Knoblauch for his selection to the Topps 1991 All-Star Rookie Team. This cup originates directly from Knoblauch and is accompanied by a one-page signed LOA from him, as well as two signed photos of Knoblauch accepting the award on the field in 1992. The gold-colored cup, which is mounted upon a wood base, is engraved "Topps/All-Star Rookie/1991." The plaque on the base reads "Chuck Knoblauch 2B/Minnesota Twins." The cup displays light tarnishing and is in Excellent to Mint condition. 6x6x7 inches.
