Description
A stunning 2018 Panini National Treasures card featuring Milwaukee Brewers slugger Eric Thames. The card boasts a crisp blue ink sticker autograph and an embedded white game-used jersey swatch. The card is featuring a high-end matte white finish with gold foil accents and is serial numbered 47/49 on the left side.
Key Features
Low print run (Limited to 49 copies), game-used memorabilia relic, and a clean autograph from a former KBO MVP and fan favorite. National Treasures is considered a premium, high-end brand.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. The sticker autograph has the correct Panini hologram shimmer. Card stock thickness (130pt+) is consistent with National Treasures. Gold foil stamping is sharp and indented properly.
Flaws to Note
Minor edge wear consistent with heavy card stock. Centering is approximately 55/45 left-to-right. Possible light foil scratching on the gold 'National Treasures' text at the top, which is common for this set.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform for this card to reach the widest audience of player collectors. COMC is a secondary option for long-term listing.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card; the cost of grading will likely exceed the value added for a non-Hall of Fame player. List it as a 'Buy It Now' with 'Best Offer' enabled. Use a 130pt top loader and mention 'Milwaukee Brewers' and 'Numbered' in the title.
