Condition Grade
PSA 9 (Mint). The centering appears excellent. Corners look sharp, though the top-right corner shows a tiny speck of white. The surface has the typical rainbow foil refraction; however, these cards are prone to minor surface print lines across the metallic finish.

Description
Featured here is the 2023 Topps Stars of MLB insert of Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Freddie Freeman. The card features a stunning stylized artistic design with a heavy silver foil/refractor finish that creates a rainbow shimmer when held to the light. Freeman is pictured in his Dodgers home whites mid-swing. The 'Stars of MLB' branding is a retail-exclusive insert set found in Series 1, Series 2, and Update packs.
Key Features
Features a future Hall of Famer in his Los Angeles Dodgers uniform; attractive rainbow holographic foil finish; popular retail-exclusive insert set.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. Authentic Topps foil stamping, correct card stock thickness for 2023 retail inserts, and proper trademark symbols. This card is not commonly counterfeited due to low market value and complex foil technology.
Flaws to Note
Minor edge wear visible on the left side; potential surface micro-scratching common with these foil-heavy cards; slight soft edge on the top left corner. These issues are common for retail-pulled cards.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (as a PWE/Standard Envelope listing), COMC, or as part of a Los Angeles Dodgers team lot in Facebook collector groups.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card, as the cost of grading ($19+) significantly exceeds its raw value. Use 'eBay Standard Envelope' for $0.60-$1.00 shipping to make the price attractive to buyers. Use keywords like 'Dodgers', 'All-Star', and 'Rainbow Foil'.
