Description
This 2023 Topps Bobby Witt Jr. relic card features the iconic 1988 design with a player-worn white jersey swatch. Witt is depicted in his Kansas City Royals blue jersey and sunglasses. The card carries the 35th Anniversary silver foil stamp.
Key Features
Player-worn memorabilia swatch; second-year card of a superstar shortstop; retro 1988 design; officially licensed MLB product.
Authenticity Indicators
High Confidence. The '35th Anniversary' silver foil stamp has the correct texture, and the 'Player-Worn Memorabilia' text is clear. Topps relic security details on the back are standard for this set.
Flaws to Note
Thicker card stock makes edges and corners prone to chipping. The centering on this specific card looks slightly heavy toward the bottom edge.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (Auction or Buy It Now), COMC for consignment, or local card shows. eBay is best for the highest immediate return.
Selling Tips
Do not grade unless it is a guaranteed 10, as the cost of grading often exceeds the value of an 8 or 9 for standard relics. Use keywords 'Game Worn', 'Relic', and 'Royals' in the eBay title. Ship in a bubble mailer (ground advantage) due to card thickness.
