A stunning 2024 Panini USA Baseball Stars & Stripes card featuring Juan Cruz of the Collegiate National Team Training Camp. This 'Silver Glitter' parallel features a heavy textured sparkle border and background that catches light from every angle.

Flaws to Note
Corners appear sharp from the photo, but the glitter/sparkle texture can sometimes hide micro-surface scratches. Centering is slightly heavy toward the right edge.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform for this specific collegiate card to reach the widest audience of prospect hunters. COMC is a good secondary option for long-term listing.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card unless you are certain it is a PSA 10, as the grading fee will likely exceed the raw market value. List as 'Silver Glitter' or 'Sparkle' to differentiate it from the common base version. Use a penny sleeve and top loader immediately to protect the textured surface.
