Description
A festive 2023 Topps Holiday Rookie Relic featuring Vinnie Pasquantino of the Kansas City Royals. The card showcases a winter-themed design with snow and holly berries, incorporating a circular 'snow globe' window containing a piece of blue player-worn memorabilia. It features the official MLB RC shield.
Key Features
Official Rookie Card designation for a rising star ('Pasquatch'); contains an authentic player-worn jersey swatch; seasonal themed holiday design exclusive to Walmart retail releases.
Authenticity Indicators
High Confidence. The 'Player-Worn Memorabilia' text, Topps logo foil, and card stock thickness are consistent with 2023 Holiday manufacturing. Not a high-priority target for counterfeiters.
Flaws to Note
Corners on thick relic cards are often soft or white-tipped; slight edge chipping is common in the Topps Holiday set due to the matte finish; surface scratches on the gloss foil elements.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (best for quick turn), COMC (good for long-term listing), or Kansas City local Facebook card groups.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card; the grading fee exceeds the raw value. List it during a hot streak or the start of the season. Use a bubble mailer for protection due to the card's thickness.
