Key Features
Features future Hall of Famer Clayton Kershaw. This specific card includes the 'Topps 75' anniversary logo, commemorating 75 years of Topps baseball cards.
Authenticity Indicators
Correct 2023 design patterns, accurate 'LAD' team abbreviation, and crisp Topps 75 logo. Confidence: High. This is a common base card variant not typically subject to counterfeiting.
Flaws to Note
A primary concern is the left-to-right centering; the left white border is noticeably thinner than the right. Small white speckling at the bottom-right corner tip may indicate minor touch-wear.

Selling Tips
Due to high grading costs relative to the card's value, it is recommended to sell this card 'Raw' (ungraded). Use high-quality photos outside of the sleeve to show the surface, then ship in a penny sleeve and top loader inside a cardboard mailer.
