Description
A 2017 Topps Chrome Dan Vogelbach Rookie Autograph featuring the Seattle Mariners first baseman in his classic batting stance. The card features a crisp blue on-card autograph with the 'Topps Certified Autograph Issue' statement below the signature. The iconic Chrome finish provides a metallic sheen that makes this a must-have for Mariners collectors or Vogelbach fans.
Key Features
On-card signature (not a sticker), official RC logo, Topps Chrome brand recognized as the standard for modern rookie autographs.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. Correct Topps Chrome logo font, 'Topps Certified Autograph Issue' text, blue ink consistency, and correct player number 20 on jersey. Not a commonly faked card due to mid-tier player status.
Flaws to Note
Slight top-to-bottom centering bias (bottom border appears slightly thicker). Potential for light surface scratches common with Chrome stock if not handled carefully.

Selling Tips
Do not grade this card unless you are confident in a PSA 10, as the grading fees will likely exceed the value of a PSA 9. Use keywords like 'Mariners RC Auto' and 'On-Card'. Ship in a bubble mailer with tracking.
