Demand Level
Moderate. While Scherzer is a legendary pitcher, he is now on the Rangers, slightly dampening the 'Mets' collector demand. However, Logofractors remain a highly sought-after annual specialty set.

Flaws to Note
A small white spec/nick is visible on the bottom right corner edge. Slight top-to-bottom centering tilt toward the top. Chrome surfaces are prone to faint hairline scratches, though none are obviously visible in the photo.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform for this card due to the high volume of player/team collectors. ComC is a secondary option for low-maintenance selling of modern parallels.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card unless you are certain of a PSA 10, as the grading fee currently exceeds the raw value. List with keywords 'Logofractor', 'Mets', and 'Mantle design' (referencing the 1952 style layout). Ship in a penny sleeve and top loader inside a reinforced bubble mailer or eBay Standard Envelope for low-cost tracking.
