High confidence. Authentic Topps glossy finish, specific 2024 font typography, and clear team logos. This is a common base card and is not a known target for counterfeiting.

Centering appears approximately 60/40 toward the bottom and right. Digital image quality prevents checking for micro-scratches or 'dimples' common in 2024 Topps stock.
