Description

Pendant from the 1996 MLB All-Star Game, hosted at Veterans Stadium in Philadelphia. The selection marked Tony Gwynn’s 12th career All-Star appearance, though he did not enter the game as a reserve in the National League’s 6–0 victory.

The honor came during another dominant season for Gwynn, who led the National League with a .353 batting average. His consistency at the plate, paired with his professionalism and respect around the league, made him a fixture in the midsummer classic throughout the 1980s and 1990s. This pendant reflects both the recognition of his excellence and the league-wide respect that secured him 15 All-Star nods across his career.


Disclaimer:

Condition may vary slightly from photos, with unique marks that highlight this item’s authenticity as a career artifact. This item features a silver OVD, verifying its authenticity through the Tony Gwynn Estate. A TRuEST™ authenticator was not on-site to witness its awarding, which is why this item does not carry our gold-level witness-based authentication OVD.
