Description
This is a stunning 2020 Leaf Metal Draft 'Future Stars' card featuring Los Angeles Dodgers prospect Jake Vogel. The card features a vibrant silver prismatic/mosaic background with a high-action batting pose. It includes a bold blue on-card autograph located at the bottom of the card. The 'Metal Draft' branding and 'Future Stars' script are rendered in a sleek holographic foil that pops against the geometric background pattern.
Key Features
On-card signature (not a sticker), early prospect card from his draft year, high-end metallic technology, and 'Future Stars' insert designation.
Authenticity Indicators
Leaf holographic security features, consistent 'Metal' card stock thickness, high-resolution printing of the player image, and authentic ink absorption typical of on-card autographs. Confidence: High.
Flaws to Note
Metallic surfaces are prone to micro-scratches and fingerprinting. Top-to-bottom centering is slightly weighted toward the bottom but still within premium grading tolerances. Minor edge silvering is possible on these chromium-style cards.

Selling Tips
Do not grade this card unless you believe it is a flawless PSA 10, as grading costs will likely exceed the card's value. Use high-quality photos to show the refraction of the chrome surface. Ship in a penny sleeve, top-loader, and a bubble mailer with tracking.
