Description
This is a 2017 Topps Heritage Real One Autograph featuring Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Zach Davies. The card is designed in the classic 1968 Topps style with 'burlap' or matte finish cardstock. It features a bold blue ink on-card signature from the player. The classic circular yellow nameplate and block 'BREWERS' text across the bottom provide a beautiful vintage aesthetic.
Key Features
Features an authentic on-card (hard-signed) autograph rather than a sticker. The Heritage 'Real One' set is highly collected for its vintage design and nostalgic feel. Zach Davies was a solid rotation piece for the Brewers during this era.
Authenticity Indicators
High Confidence. The blue ink shows natural variation and pressure points typical of a Real One Autograph. The Topps Heritage logo in the top right is correctly placed, and the card stock thickness and texture match the 2017 production standards. There is a 'Topps Certified Autograph Issue' statement on the reverse of this card series.
Flaws to Note
Centering is noticeably shifted towards the top and left borders. The bottom-left corner appears slightly soft. There is some minor surface texture typical of the Heritage matte stock, but no visible scratches. The autograph is clean and bold with no streaking.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform for this card due to its high volume of team collectors and set builders. COMC is also a good option for lower-value autographs to save on shipping logistics.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card unless you are a set completionist. The cost of grading ($19+) exceeds the raw market value. Use '2017 Topps Heritage Zach Davies Auto Brewers' in your title. Ship in a penny sleeve, top loader, and a bubble mailer with tracking (Ground Advantage) to ensure safe arrival.
