Description
This is a 2023 Bowman Chrome Prospect Autograph featuring Oakland Athletics outfielder Clark Elliott. The card features the '1st Bowman' logo, signifying his first officially licensed autograph card. It includes a crisp on-card signature in blue ink with 'Topps Certified Autograph Issue' authentication. The design features a modern chrome finish with an action shot of Elliott in his A's uniform following a swing.
Key Features
Features the highly coveted '1st Bowman' logo. Includes a certified on-card autograph rather than a sticker. Elliott was a high 2022 draft pick (2nd round) from the University of Michigan.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. Correct 'Bowman Chrome' logo typeface, authentic Topps holographic anti-counterfeit micro-text near the signature area, and correct stock thickness/weight. On-card ink shows natural absorption patterns.
Flaws to Note
Centering is slightly off (L-R 60/40). Chrome surface is prone to micro-scratches and 'dimples' from the manufacturing process. Slight edge silvering may be present on the right border.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform for this card due to the high volume of prospect buyers. COMC is a good secondary option for long-term storage and easier selling to specialized collectors.
Selling Tips
Do not grade unless you are confident it will hit a PSA 10; the cost of grading often exceeds the raw value for mid-tier prospects. List as '2023 Bowman Chrome Clark Elliott 1st Auto' and include high-resolution scans. Use a penny sleeve and top-loader, shipping via eBay Standard Envelope for low-cost tracking.
