Description
Featured is a 2023 Bowman Chrome 1st Bowman card of Milwaukee Brewers prospect Brailyn Antunez. This is the rare Speckle Refractor parallel, serial numbered 236/299 in gold foil on the front. The card features a high-gloss metallic finish with a 'speckled' or 'stardust' light-refracting pattern. Antunez is shown in his Brewers away uniform in a batting stance.

Includes the coveted '1st Bowman' logo which is the most desirable mark for baseball prospects. It is a limited print run parallel numbered to only 299 copies.
Authenticity Indicators
High Confidence. The gold foil serial numbering is properly stamped, the 1st Bowman logo font is correct, and the Chrome finish shows the correct refractive properties for 2023 Topps/Bowman stock.
Flaws to Note
Minor white speck on bottom right edge; potential surface refractor lines (common in 2023 Bowman); very slight top-to-bottom centering bias.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform for this specific card to reach prospect collectors. COMC is a secondary option for long-term 'flipping' if the player gains hype.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card unless you believe it is a flawless PSA 10, as the grading fee may exceed the raw value. List with '1st Bowman' and 'Parallel /299' in the title. Use a penny sleeve and top loader for all shipping.
