Description
Up for consideration is a 2018 Topps Chrome baseball card featuring elite closer Kenley Jansen of the Los Angeles Dodgers. The card features a sharp action shot of Jansen mid-throw in his grey Dodgers road uniform, highlighted by the signature Topps Chrome reflective chromium finish and crisp team iconography.
Key Features
Features one of the most dominant relief pitchers of his era and a multi-time All-Star closer. The Topps Chrome chromium technology provides an attractive, durable, and highly collectible finish sought after by modern set builders and relief pitcher collectors.
Authenticity Indicators

Selling Tips
