Demand Level
Moderate. Pasquantino is a fan favorite ('Pasquatch') with solid hitting metrics, but as a non-rookie base card in a high-print-run set, demand is primarily driven by Royals team collectors and set completionists.

Selling Tips
Do not grade this card individually as the cost of grading will exceed the market value. Selling as part of a 'Royals Team Lot' or a '2023 Topps Update Set Starter' is the most efficient way to move this card. Protect in a penny sleeve and top loader for shipping to maintain condition.
