About this item

Rawlings Honor Award presented in 2003 to Tony Gwynn, celebrating his lifetime contributions to baseball—not only as a playing legend but also as a leader, mentor, and ambassador of the sport. That year, Gwynn began his tenure as head baseball coach at San Diego State University, guiding the program with the same dedication and professionalism that defined his MLB career. The award stands as a testament to his grace, character, and continued impact on future generations of players.

In 2003, just one year after retiring from a 20-season Hall of Fame career, Gwynn transitioned seamlessly into coaching, bringing his signature virtuosic hitting approach and unwavering work ethic to a new generation. Rawlings’ honor acknowledged that his influence transcended his Hall-of-Fame-worthy statistics—it reflected his role in uplifting the sport’s values and helping to shape its future.

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.

TRuEST™ Authentication

The Realest™ empowers partners in sports, music, and film with the industry's most advanced authentication and marketplace technology.


As forgeries grow more sophisticated with deepfakes and other emerging threats, protecting the integrity of physical memorabilia has never been more critical. Traditional authentication standards carry significant risk, but The Realest™ takes a proactive approach, partnering directly with teams, artists, and studios to source items at the origin.


Our multi-layered, witness-based authentication process (TRuEST™) sets a new industry standard and comes backed by a money-back guarantee. TRuEST™ replaces old-school certificates of authenticity with immutable provenance stored on the blockchain, clearly showing population data, creation dates, and key item details. This information cannot be altered, backdated, or hacked and remains accessible at all times. Each item is uniquely fingerprinted using our patent-pending covert markings and tamper-resistant OVD holograms.


These security measures ensure The Realest™ can verify authenticity with absolute certainty, now and in the future, while detecting any attempts to alter or counterfeit items using undisclosed, cutting-edge security methods.
