Description
This is the highly coveted 'Light Parade' Super Short Print (SSP) variation from the 2023 Topps Holiday set featuring Kansas City Royals star Bobby Witt Jr. The card features a stunning neon-light aesthetic with a Christmas stocking and elf overlaying the player image. Unlike the common base holiday cards with simple snowflakes, this SSP variation is rare and features a distinct neon glow design around the borders and central graphics.
Key Features
This is a Super Short Print (SSP), the rarest non-numbered tier in the Holiday release. Bobby Witt Jr. is an elite Tier 1 young star, making his chasing-year cards highly liquid. The unique 'Light Parade' neon design is exclusive to the SSP variation.
Authenticity Indicators
Authenticity Confidence: High. The metallic finish of the 'Topps' logo and the thickness of the card stock are consistent with 2023 Topps Holiday retail production. This specific SSP neon design is difficult to replicate with consumer printers.
Flaws to Note
The card is significantly off-center toward the right (left-to-right). There is a slight white corner nick visible on the bottom right. Handling with bare hands can cause surface oils; always use a penny sleeve and top loader immediately.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform for this card to capture the widest audience of player collectors. Alternative options include MySlabs for graded versions or high-end Facebook Baseball Card buy/sell/trade groups.
Selling Tips
Do not sell this at base card prices. Use keywords like 'SSP', 'Light Parade', and 'CASE HIT' in the title. Given the centering issue, selling 'Raw' might be safer than grading unless you are confident in a PSA 9. Use tracked shipping in a bubble mailer; never use a plain white envelope for a card of this value.
