Description
Featured in the 2021 Topps Series 2 set, this Ross Stripling base card commemorates the pitcher in his Toronto Blue Jays road grey jersey. The design includes the '70th Anniversary' Topps stamp in silver foil on the top right. It features the classic 2021 white border design with geometric blue and green accents at the bottom corners.
Key Features
Features veteran pitcher Ross Stripling; contains the 70th Anniversary commemorative Topps logo; standard base card from the flagship 2021 set.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. The '70 Topps' anniversary logo has the correct foil reflectivity. Printing clarity on the 'Toronto' jersey text is sharp. The card stock and high-gloss finish are consistent with 2021 Topps flagship production.
Flaws to Note
Slight right-side centering bias. Minor edge wear may exist on the bottom white border. Potential surface micro-scratches from being stored in a plastic binder page without a penny sleeve.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold in a 'Toronto Blue Jays Team Lot' on eBay or through a bulk dealer like COMC. The individual shipping cost often exceeds the value of the card.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card, as the grading fee (approx. $19+) is significantly higher than the card's market value. If selling, list it as a PWE (Plain White Envelope) shipping option for $1.50 total to attract team collectors. Best used as a 'bonus card' included with more valuable Blue Jays cards.
