Description
2016 Bowman's Best Roniel Raudes Green Refractor Autograph. This card features a sharp action shot of the Red Sox pitching prospect with a clean blue ink on-card signature. It is serial numbered 86/99 in gold foil on the right side. The Green Refractor finish provides a vibrant geometric background that pops against the Red Sox uniform.
Key Features
On-card 'Topps Certified' autograph, low serial numbering to 99, Green Refractor parallel status, and early prospect release for the former Red Sox Top 30 pitcher.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. Correct 'Bowman's Best' refractor pattern, authentic blue ink saturation with natural stroke tapering, and crisp gold-foil serial numbering. Not a commonly faked player.
Flaws to Note
Visible wear on the bottom-right corner; potential micro-scratching on the chrome surface (high-gloss cards are prone to these); some debris is visible inside the penny sleeve which can cause surface dimples.

Selling Tips
Do not grade this card; the cost of grading ($19+) is higher than the raw card value. Clean the chrome surface with a microfiber cloth and place in a fresh penny sleeve/top-loader before photographing for sale. Use keywords like 'Red Sox Prospect' and 'Low Numbered' in the title.
