Description
This is a stunning 2013 Bowman Chrome Mike Trout card featuring the highly sought-after Mojo Refractor (often referred to as 'Silver Ice' or 'Mega Box' style) pattern. The card showcases Trout in his classic Angels red uniform following through on a swing. The geometric refractor pattern provides a brilliant rainbow shimmer when caught in the light.
Key Features
Early career Mike Trout card; iconic Mojo Refractor geometric background; high-gloss Chrome finish; features 'The Millville Meteor' in his prime MVP-contending years.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. The 'B Chrome' logo has the correct typeface and metallic sheen. The 'Mojo' pattern is consistent with 2013 Topps/Bowman production standards. Font weights in the nameplate match known authentic examples.
Flaws to Note
Slight left-to-right centering bias (image is shifted slightly left). Possible light surface scratches common to Chrome finishes, though none are visible in high resolution. Bottom right corner shows a microscopic hint of white.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform for this specific card to reach the widest audience. COMC is also a viable option for a 'set and forget' consignment approach.
Selling Tips
Due to the lower ROI on PSA 9s for this specific year, only grade if you are confident in a PSA 10. Use 'Mojo Refractor' and 'Silver Ice' in the title to capture all search variations. Ship in a brand new penny sleeve and top loader inside a bubble mailer for protection.
