Description
This 2022 Topps Fernando Tatis Jr. features the iconic 1987 wood-grain border design updated with modern Topps Chrome technology. The card utilizes a 'Mojo' refractor finish, characterized by its intricate, geometric pattern that creates a stunning rainbow effect when light hits it. Tatis Jr. is shown in his Padres pinstripes in mid-fielding motion. The bottom left features the 35th Anniversary logo.
Key Features
Popular 1987 'Woodie' throwback design; Mojo Refractor technology exclusive to Silver Packs found in hobby and jumbo boxes; High-action photography of one of MLB's most dynamic stars.
Authenticity Indicators
The Mojo refractor pattern is difficult to replicate accurately; look for the crispness of the '35th Anniversary' logo seal and the Topps Chrome logo in the bottom corner. Confidence: High.
Flaws to Note
A slight right-side centering bias is visible. Chrome cards of this era often have light surface dimples or print lines that can only be seen under a jeweler's loupe, which would prevent a PSA 10.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the primary market for this card. COMC is also a viable option for low-to-mid value modern inserts to avoid shipping hassles.
Selling Tips
Due to the reflective nature of the card, take photos from multiple angles to prove there are no deep scratches. Mention 'Mojo' and 'Refractor' in the eBay title to capture search traffic. Use a bubble mailer for any sale over $20; eBay Standard Envelope is suitable for lower prices.
