Description
A 2023 Topps Series 1 Dean Kremer base card featuring an action shot of the Baltimore Orioles pitcher. This specific card features a 'Topps 75' silver foil stamp in the upper right corner, commemorating the brand's diamond anniversary. The design features a white border with a textured gray inner frame and the Orioles logo at the bottom left.
Key Features
Features the 'Topps 75' anniversary stamp which is a specific insert/buyback parallel for the 2023 season; Dean Kremer is a solid rotation piece for a popular, emerging Baltimore Orioles team.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. The 'Topps 75' foil stamp possesses the correct metallic sheen. Card stock thickness and gloss finish are consistent with 2023 Topps Series 1 production standards. This is not a commonly faked card due to its low market value.
Flaws to Note
Centering is slightly off from left to right (heavier white border on the right). Visible white specks on the carpet near the card edge could indicate minor chipping if they are from the card stock, though unlikely on a modern high-gloss card. Small factory print lines are common in this set.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best suited for eBay as a 'Buy It Now' listing, or as part of a 'pick your card' multi-listing. Also suitable for COMC (Check Out My Cards) for long-term inventory for team set builders.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card; the cost of grading (approx. $19-$25) is significantly higher than the potential resale value of a PSA 9. List it with the keyword 'Orioles' and '75th Anniversary' to catch team collectors. Use a penny sleeve and top loader for shipping to ensure it remains in its current condition.
