Manufacturer
Topps
Demand Level
Low to Moderate. Sears is a solid rotation arm, but as a non-rookie pitcher, his market is largely limited to San Diego Padres team collectors or set builders.
Valuation
Raw (Ungraded) Value
$1.00 - $3.00
Graded Value
PSA 8: $8-$12, PSA 9: $15-$20, PSA 10: $35-$45. Note: Grading costs likely exceed the current market value of this specific player.
Comparable Sales
Recent raw sales for common 2023 Mojo refractors range from $0.99 to $2.50. Higher-end players in the same set (like Adley Rutschman or Corbin Carroll) command significantly more, but Sears remains in the 'dollar bin' price bracket.
Description
This 2023 Topps JP Sears silver pack insert features the popular 'Mojo' refractor finish with a geometric tiled pattern that catches the light brilliantly. Sears is shown in his San Diego Padres 'City Connect' jersey, featuring vibrant pink, teal, and yellow colors. The design pays homage to the 1988 Topps woodgrain layout updated with modern chrome technology. Includes the Topps 75th Anniversary logo in the top right corner.

Flaws to Note

Selling Guide

eBay (as a Buy It Now with Best Offer) or COMC (Check Out My Cards) for long-term inventory. This card is also a great 'filler' for a trade on Social Media/Discord groups.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card; the fee will outweigh the profit. Use keywords like '1988 Anniversary', 'Mojo Refractor', and 'City Connect' in the listing. Ship in a penny sleeve and top loader inside a semi-rigid mailer via eBay standard envelope for $0.60 to keep shipping costs low.
