Description
A classic rookie card featuring Plaxico Burress in his Pittsburgh Steelers uniform. The 2000 Topps Reserve set is known for its high-gloss finish and thick card stock. The card features a silver foil 'TR' (Topps Reserve) logo on the left and a minimalist design with a blurred background focus on the player.
Key Features
True Rookie Card of a Super Bowl champion and iconic 2000s wide receiver; part of the premium Topps Reserve set which was a higher-end product than flagship Topps.
Authenticity Indicators
Authentic. The silver foil 'TR' stamp has correct depth and holographic reflection; the card stock thickness (approx 35-55pt) is consistent with Topps Reserve production; print patterns are crisp under magnification. Confidence: High.
Flaws to Note
Visible edge wear on the bottom-right corner; slight off-center alignment (shifted left); potential surface 'snow' or white print dots often found on this specific release's dark jersey areas.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (as a Buy It Now) or COMC (Check Out My Cards). This is a great addition to a Pittsburgh Steelers team collector's lot or a 2000s era rookie set.
Selling Tips
Due to the high shipping costs relative to the card's value, it is best sold as part of a 'Steelers Rookie Lot' or via eBay Standard Envelope ($0.60 - $1.00 shipping). Grading is not recommended unless the card is absolutely flawless (PSA 10 candidate).
