Description
This is a non-authentic custom or novelty card featuring Bo Bichette (who plays for the Blue Jays) wearing a New York Mets uniform. It mimics the 2024 Topps Series 1 design and features a 'Topps 75' anniversary stamp which is historically inaccurate for the current year. The card displays Bo Bichette in an edited Mets jersey with the 'NYM' team code.
Key Features
Features a 'What If' scenario placing Blue Jays star Bo Bichette on the Mets; mimics the 2024 Topps flagship design.
Authenticity Indicators
Low Confidence - Fake/Custom. Indicators: Bo Bichette has never played for the Mets; the card stock appears matte and printed on a home printer; the graphics are inconsistent with official 2024 Topps production; the card number #1 in 2024 Topps is actually Ronald Acuña Jr.
Flaws to Note
Significant issues as this is not a licensed Topps product: the player ID (Bo Bichette) does not match the player pictured (looks like Francisco Lindor or a composite), and the 'Topps 75' logo is from 2023, not 2024.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Mercari, Etsy, or eBay (must be listed as 'Custom' or 'Art Card' to avoid fraud violations).
Selling Tips
Do not attempt to sell this as an authentic Topps error card, as it is a third-party creation. Topps did not produce a Bo Bichette Mets card. It is best used as a novelty item.
