Description
Featured here is the 2023-24 Donruss Optic 'Rated Rookie' of Charlotte Hornets star Brandon Miller. This card features Miller in his teal Hornets jersey, holding a basketball against the classic Optic chrome-finish background. The 'Rated Rookie' logo is prominently displayed in the bottom left corner, a staple of the Donruss brand. This is a must-have base rookie for any modern basketball collector.
Key Features
Features the #2 overall pick of the 2023 NBA Draft. Brandon Miller is a key foundational piece for the Charlotte Hornets. The 'Rated Rookie' logo is one of the most iconic and recognizable marks in the hobby.
Authenticity Indicators
Correct chromium stock thickness; high-resolution printing on the 'Rated Rookie' logo; accurate 'Optic' and 'Donruss' branding logos. Confidence: High. This is a base card and not a frequent target for high-end counterfeiting.
Flaws to Note
Centering is slightly off-center left-to-right (approx 60/40). Chrome cards are notorious for surface scratches (refractor lines) and dimples, though none are immediately apparent under this lighting. Slight white fleck visible on top-right edge may be dust on the sleeve or minor chipping.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform for high-volume base rookies like this. COMC is also an excellent choice for 'set and forget' selling to avoid individual shipping logistics.
Selling Tips
Due to the current raw value being under $10, it is not recommended to grade this card unless you are certain it will return a PSA 10. Use high-quality, glare-free photos for eBay. Ship in a penny sleeve, top loader, and a bubble mailer (ground advantage) or eBay Standard Envelope for low-cost items.
