Condition Grade
PSA 8 (NM-MT) - Centering appears slightly heavy to the right; minor chipping on the top white edge is visible. Relic cards are notoriously difficult to grade high due to the thickness of the card stock affecting the corners and edges.

Description
This 2022 Topps Heritage card features Kansas City Royals star Salvador Perez in the iconic 1973 Topps design. The card includes an authentic circular piece of game-used bat embedded in the card. The design features a horizontal layout with a light blue and green color palette, consistent with the retro aesthetic of the Heritage set.
Key Features
Features a 7-time All-Star and World Series MVP. Contains authentic game-used memorabilia (bat). Heritage design is highly popular among set collectors and nostalgia enthusiasts.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. Authentic Topps Heritage texture, correct 1973-style matte finish, and standard Topps 'Game-Used Memorabilia' holographic-style stamping. These relics are rarely counterfeited due to their relatively low market value.
Flaws to Note
Visible surface scratching on the right side of the card face. Minor edge wear/chipping on the upper white border. Thick card stock often leads to soft corners, though these look relatively sharp through the magnetic holder.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform for this card to reach the widest audience of Royals collectors. A Buy It Now price of $15-20 with 'Best Offer' enabled would be appropriate.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card unless you are completing a PSA 10 registry set, as the cost of grading will likely exceed the profit. Use keywords like 'Game Used Bat', 'KC Royals', and '1973 Design'. The current $25 price tag shown in the image is slightly above the current market average.
