Demand Level
Moderate. Rickey Henderson is a Top-Tier Hall of Famer with a dedicated collector base. While it's a modern insert, Silver Pack refractors are popular with 'rainbow' chasers and player collectors.

Description
This is a 2023 Topps 1988 design insert featuring Hall of Famer Rickey Henderson. The card celebrates his record-breaking 130 stolen bases in a single season. It features the iconic 'Mojo' refractor finish—a textured, holographic pattern that catches the light beautifully. Rickey is depicted in his classic Oakland Athletics home white uniform in a mid-sprint action shot.
Key Features
Hall of Fame player, iconic 1988 Topps throwback design, Mojo refractor technology found only in hobby/jumbo Silver Packs, and highlight of his legendary 130 stolen base record.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. This is a recent modern release with complex Mojo refractor foil. Counterfeiting modern $5 inserts is rare. Genuine Topps logos and trademarking on the bottom and top left are crisp.
Flaws to Note
Potential for minor surface scratches or 'lines' typical of the Mojo refractor production process. Centering looks strong based on the white borders, but the back should be checked for wax or print defects.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform for this card due to its high volume of HOF player collectors. COMC is also a good option for low-cost, high-volume modern inserts.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card unless you are certain it is a PSA 10; the cost of grading often exceeds the value of a PSA 9 or lower. Use keywords like 'Mojo Refractor', 'Oakland A's', and 'Silver Pack' in the title. Ship in a penny sleeve and top-loader using eBay Standard Envelope ($0.60 - $1.00) to keep shipping costs low for the buyer.
