Description
This card features future Hall of Famer Justin Verlander in a Houston Astros uniform, utilizing the iconic 1987 Topps woodgrain-style border updated with a modern Chrome Mojo ‘Silver Pack’ refractor finish. The background displays a psychedelic geometric pattern that reacts brilliantly to light.
Key Features
Features a legendary HOF-lock pitcher in his Houston Astros jersey. Part of the exclusive Silver Pack promo found only in Topps Series 1, Series 2, and Update hobby boxes. The Mojo refractor finish is highly collectible.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. Authentic Topps Chrome stock thickness, correct application of the Mojo/Silver Pack pattern, and clear holographic refraction. The '35th Anniversary' logo and 'Topps Chrome' logo are sharp and reflective.
Flaws to Note
Slight top-to-bottom centering bias. Minimal surface dimples are common with Chrome Mojo finishes, though none are glaringly visible in the photo. High-gloss surfaces are prone to fingerprints.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform for this specific card due to the high volume of modern baseball collectors. It could also move effectively in a $5-10 bargain bin at a local card show.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card unless you are certain it will hit a PSA 10, as the grading fee currently exceeds the value of a PSA 9. Use keywords like 'Mojo,' 'Silver Pack,' and 'HOF' in your listing. Ship in a penny sleeve and top loader inside a standard envelope (eBay Standard Envelope) to keep costs low.
