Description
Featured here is the 2022 Topps Series 2 rookie card of Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Josh Lowe. The card features an action shot of Lowe completing a swing in his Rays away uniform. This base rookie card includes the official Topps 75th Anniversary logo in the top right and the 'RC' rookie shield. A must-have for Rays team collectors and rookie card enthusiasts.
Key Features
True flagship rookie card (RC), features a young core talent for the Tampa Bay Rays, classic Topps Series 2 design.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. This is a modern mass-produced base card with correct Topps gloss, matte finish on the reverse, and accurate logo placement. Base cards of this era are rarely counterfeited due to high production volume.
Flaws to Note
The primary flaw is the centering, which is skewed significantly to the right. There is also visible softening/whitening on the upper right corner and possible light chipping along the left edge.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best suited for eBay (as a 'Buy It Now' with PWE shipping) or COMC. It would also perform well in a 'Rookie Lot' with other 2022 stars like Wander Franco or Julio Rodriguez.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this specific card; the grading fee will likely exceed the market value of a PSA 8 or 9. List this using eBay standard envelope for $1.00 shipping to maximize the small profit margin. Use keywords like '2022 Topps Josh Lowe RC' and 'TB Rays'.
