Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. Authentic Topps glossy finish on card front, correct logo font/placement for the Topps 70th Anniversary year, and proper card stock thickness for 2021 Series 2.
Flaws to Note

Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (as a PWE/Standard Envelope listing), COMC, or as part of a Texas Rangers team lot on Facebook Marketplace.
Selling Tips
Due to the low value of base cards, this is not a candidate for grading as the fee exceeds the value. Best sold as part of a 'lot' or via eBay Standard Envelope ($0.60 - $0.64 shipping) to keep costs low for the buyer. Use keywords like 'Texas Rangers', 'All-Star', and '2023 World Series Champ'.
