Description
Featured in the 2023 Topps Series 1 set, this card showcases CJ Abrams in his Washington Nationals home uniform. The card includes the 'Topps 75' anniversary logo in the top right corner and the 'WSH' team abbreviation in the top left. The design is the standard 2023 horizontal border style with the player name and position along the bottom.
Key Features
Features young shortstop CJ Abrams in a Nationals jersey following his high-profile trade from San Diego; notable design from the Topps 75th Anniversary production year.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. Correct 2023 Topps logo placement, accurate Washington Nationals branding, and standard card stock thickness for modern Topps flagships. Not a commonly counterfeited card due to high production volume.
Flaws to Note
Slight right-to-left centering bias on the front border. Corners appear slightly soft in the photo, and raw cards in this set are prone to minor edge chipping. Potential surface scratches due to no visible protective sleeve.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best suited for eBay (bulk lot or PWE listing), COMC, or trading via social media groups. Local card shop 'dollar boxes' are also a common venue.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card; the grading fee far exceeds the market value. Sell as a 'buy-it-now' with Plain White Envelope (PWE) shipping to keep costs low. Use keywords like 'Washington Nationals', 'Shortstop', and '2023 Topps'.
