Description
This 2022 Donruss Pie Traynor #241 features the legendary Pittsburgh Pirates Hall of Fame third baseman in a vintage black-and-white action pose. This specific card is the 'Blast Off' holiday parallel, characterized by a vibrant rainbow holofoil finish with repeated rocket ship patterns visible in the light. Part of the modern Donruss set that honors baseball's greats despite being an unlicensed product (no MLB team logos).
Key Features
Hall of Fame player, Blast Off rocket-pattern parallel, high-gloss rainbow refractor finish, iconic vintage photography.
Authenticity Indicators
Authentic. Features official Panini/Donruss branding, correct 'Blast Off' rocket holographic pattern, and high-quality modern card stock. Confidence: High.
Flaws to Note
Corners appear sharp, though the bottom-right tip shows a microscopic touch of white. Centering looks slightly heavy toward the right border (approx 60/40). Surface should be checked for common 'print lines' typical of Panini foil products.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (as a Buy It Now), COMC (Check Out My Cards), or Sportlots. This card is best sold as part of a HOFer lot or to a specific Pirates team collector.
Selling Tips
Due to the low raw value, grading this card is not recommended unless it is for a personal collection. For shipping, use a penny sleeve and top loader inside an eBay Standard Envelope ($0.60 - $1.00) to keep costs low for the buyer. Use keywords: 'Refractor', 'Rocket Ship', 'Pirates HOF', 'Blast Off'.
