Description
This is a 2020 Donruss Optic Jordan Love 'Rated Rookie' Base Variation card. Unlike the standard base card featuring Love in a passing pocket stance, this 'Variation' features a different photo with Love holding the ball with two hands mid-rollout. The card carries the iconic 'Rated Rookie' logo and is finished with the sleek Optic chrome technology. Professionally graded PSA 9 Mint.
Key Features

Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. The card is encapsulated in a third-generation PSA lighthouse security slab with a verified certification number (74114640). The holographic security strip and micro-printing on the label are consistent with authentic PSA grading.
Flaws to Note
As a PSA 9, the card is near flawless, but typically minor surface dimples or slight top-to-bottom centering issues common in 2020 Optic prevented it from reaching a PSA 10 Gem Mint grade.
