High confidence in authenticity. The chrome finish, set logos, and font kerning match official Topps production. This specific base prospect card is rarely counterfeited compared to his '1st Bowman' or autographed cards.
Flaws to Note
Significant edge wear and silvering visible on the top edge and right side. Centering is shifted slightly toward the right. Card is being held raw without a sleeve, which likely implies surface scratches.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (as a Buy It Now) or COMC (Check Out My Cards). Due to the low value and high supply, selling in a 'player lot' with other cards may be more effective than a single listing.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card. The cost of the grading fee far exceeds the market value of the card. Place it in a penny sleeve and top-loader immediately to prevent further damage. Use keywords like 'Prospect', 'Chrome', and 'Rays' in the title.
