Manufacturer
Topps (under the Bowman brand)
Demand Level
Low to Moderate. Pache's market cooled significantly after struggling at the MLB level with the Braves and Athletics. He is currently viewed as a defensive specialist, which limits hobby upside compared to offensive stars.

Description
Featured is a 2020 Bowman Chrome Mojo Refractor prospects card of athletic outfielder Cristian Pache. This card features the distinctive 'Mojo' cracked-ice refractor pattern found exclusively in Bowman Mega Boxes. Pache is shown in his Atlanta Braves road uniform in a dynamic batting follow-through pose. The card is currently housed in a GMA Grading slab with a Gem Mint 10 designation.
Key Features
Features the popular Mega Box exclusive Mojo Refractor finish. Pache was a consensus Top-15 MLB prospect at the time of this card's release, making it a key prospect card from the 2020 set.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. The Mojo refractor pattern is difficult to replicate accurately. The GMA slab, while a lower-tier grader, serves as a basic level of authentication for the physical card stock and printing. Not a high-target card for counterfeiters.
Flaws to Note
The GMA slab has visible scratches and surface wear which may distract buyers. Regarding the card: potential for surface dimples common in 2020 Bowman Chrome, though none are immediately visible. Centering and edges appear excellent.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best venue for this specific card. Due to the lower brand recognition of GMA compared to PSA/BGS, this is best suited for an 'Add to Watchlist' style auction or a low-priced Buy It Now listing.
Selling Tips
Do not attempt to cross-grade this to PSA or BGS, as the grading fees would likely exceed the card's total market value. Focus on '2020 Bowman Chrome Mojo' and 'Braves Prospect' in the keywords. Wipe the slab with a microfiber cloth before photographing to remove smudges.
