Description
Featured is a 2021 Topps Heritage Rookie Card of Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes. This specific card is the Red Border parallel, limited edition and serial numbered 485/699 on the front left. The design pays homage to the 1972 Topps set, featuring the iconic 'Tombstone' player name style and team name across the top. The card displays a facsimile signature and the official 'RC' logo is notably absent on this specific High Number Heritage subset print, though it is a consensus rookie year issue.
Key Features
Serially numbered /699, Rookie Year card, popular vintage-inspired 1972 design, Gold-glove caliber player.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. Authentic gold foil stamping for the serial number (485/699); correct Heritage card stock texture; accurate color saturation for the 1972-style borders. No signs of trimming.
Flaws to Note
Possible minor whitening on the bottom right corner; minor surface scuffs visible on the top-loader (may not be on the card itself); centering is roughly 40/60 left-to-right.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (Auction or Buy It Now), COMC, or Twitter/X Sports Card community. eBay would likely yield the fastest sale due to the high volume of parallel collectors.
Selling Tips
Due to the /699 numbering, this is an 'SP-lite' parallel. I would recommend listing as 'Buy It Now' with 'Best Offer' enabled at $34.99 to test the market high end. Take the card out of the scratched top-loader for photos to show the clean surface.
