Description
This 2021 Panini Donruss Optic Prospect Edition features Seattle prospect Nicky Becker. The card boasts a stunning Green parallel border and a clear sticker autograph located at the bottom. The design includes the iconic 'Rated Prospect' logo styling, a '25' large jersey number graphic, and a high-gloss, opti-chrome refractor finish. The player is shown in a Seattle action pose wearing number 25.
Key Features
Features an authentic sticker autograph from a former Seattle Mariners prospect; Green Optic parallel design; part of the popular 'Prospect Edition' subset of Donruss Optic.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. The card features the authentic Panini 'Optic' holographic background patterns beneath the sticker auto and within the logos, correct card stock thickness for Chrome/Optic products, and crisp micro-printing on the nameplate.
Flaws to Note
Centering is slightly off, leaning toward the bottom right border; sticker autograph placement is slightly angled; typical minor surface dimples common in Optic card stock may be present under high magnification.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best suited for eBay as a 'Buy It Now' with 'Best Offer' enabled, or as a bulk addition to a COMC shipment. Local Mariners-area card shows may also yield interest for team collectors.
Selling Tips
Due to the lower market value of the player, grading is likely not cost-effective ($19+ fee vs $30 value). Sell this as a raw 'sleeved and loaded' card. Use keywords like 'Mariners Prospect', 'Refractor', and 'Auto' to catch search traffic.
