Description
A 2023 Topps Series 1 base card featuring Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Will Smith. The card utilizes the iconic 2023 design with a dual-image format: an action shot of Smith in full catcher's gear attempting a throw and a portrait headshot in the lower-left corner. Features the classic Dodgers logo and 'C' position designation.
Key Features
Features a key veteran player for the Los Angeles Dodgers; part of the flagship Topps set; popular design mirroring the 1983 Topps aesthetic; essential for team collectors.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. Authentic Topps printing dots, standard card stock thickness, and correct '2023' copyright on reverse. Base cards of this era are rarely counterfeited due to low production cost and high availability.
Flaws to Note
Lower left white border appears slightly thin (Centering ~60/40); top edge may have very minor white chipping common for 2023 stock; no significant creases or surface damage visible in photo.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold as part of a Los Angeles Dodgers 'Team Lot' on eBay or Mercari. For individual sale, COMC or Sportlots are better as they handle the fulfillment for low-value items.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card; the grading fee is much higher than the market value for a base card. Use a penny sleeve and top-loader. Ship via eBay Standard Envelope ($0.63-$1.08) to keep shipping costs low for the buyer.
