Description
This is a beautiful 2014 Topps Finest Kolten Wong Blue Refractor Autograph card, serial numbered 096/150. As a rookie-year issue, it features a crisp on-card blue ink signature and a vibrant blue-and-red horizontal line refractor background. The card depicts Wong in his St. Louis Cardinals home jersey in a classic batting follow-through pose.
Key Features
Features an on-card autograph (not a sticker), serial numbered to 150, and belongs to the highly collectible Topps Finest brand from his rookie season.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. The 'Topps Certified Autograph Issue' text, the specific foil thickness of the serial number '096/150', and the consistent ink bleeding of the on-card signature are all hallmarks of a genuine 2014 Finest card.
Flaws to Note
A slight touch of white is visible on the bottom-left corner. Chrome cards from 2014 are prone to 'refractor lines' and surface dimples, though none are immediately obvious from the photo.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform for this card due to the high volume of team-specific collectors. A 'Buy It Now' listing with 'Best Offer' enabled would likely yield the most consistent results.
Selling Tips
Highlight the 'On-Card' nature of the autograph, as collectors prefer it over stickers. Ship in a penny sleeve, top loader, and cardboard-reinforced bubble mailer. Mentioning 'Gold Glove Winner' in the title may attract more Cardinal fans.
