Description
2024 Topps Series 2 Ben Rice rookie card featuring the New York Yankees catcher/first baseman in his home pinstripes. The design features the classic 2024 gradient border with the 'RC' logo and Yankees team branding. The card is currently housed in a 'ROOKIE CARD' embossed top-loader.
Key Features
Official MLB Rookie Card for a New York Yankees prospect; high-demand team market; first flagship Topps rookie card for this player.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. Correct 2024 Topps gloss, official MLB and MLBPA logos, and standard card stock thickness. This is a common base card and is not typically counterfeited.
Flaws to Note
Centering is slightly off-center left-to-right (right border is thicker). Minor edge wear possible on the bottom foil area. The orange price sticker is on the top-loader, not the card itself.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (best for volume and visibility), COMC (Check Out My Cards) for long-term consignment, or local card shows in the New York/Tri-state area.
Selling Tips
Remove the card from the top-loader with the $4.00 sticker and place it in a fresh penny sleeve and clean top-loader before photographing. Use keywords 'NY Yankees' and 'RC' in the title. Shipping via eBay Standard Envelope ($0.69-$1.12) is the most cost-effective method for this price point.
