Raw (Ungraded) Value
$1.00 - $3.00
Graded Value
PSA 10: $25-35, PSA 9: $10-15, PSA 8: $2-5 (Note: Grading cost exceeds current market value).
Comparable Sales
Recent eBay sales for raw copies range from $0.99 to $2.50 plus shipping. PSA 10 copies have sold for approximately $28.00, but these are rarely worth the submission fee unless bulk-graded.
Description
This 2023 Topps Stars of MLB Michael Harris II rookie insert features a high-gloss finish with a cosmic, geometric background. The card shows the reigning 2022 NL Rookie of the Year in his Atlanta Braves home uniform. It includes the official MLB Rookie Card logo in the top right corner and a vibrant, foil-like surface design.
Key Features
Features the official RC logo for a highly-touted young talent; aesthetically pleasing galactic design; part of a popular but mass-produced retail insert set.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. This is a common modern insert from retail packs (blasters/fat packs). Authenticity is indicated by the crisp Topps branding, correct stock thickness, and the specific 'Stars of MLB' holographic sheen.
Flaws to Note
Corners show early signs of wear (white showing through the ink), centering appears slightly biased toward the top-right, and the bottom edge has minor chipping typical of the 2023 stock.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (as a PWE/Standard Envelope sale), COMC (best for low-value cards), or as part of a 'Braves Team Lot' on Facebook Marketplace to save on shipping.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card; the cost of grading ($19+) is significantly higher than the card's potential value. Sell it 'Raw' in a penny sleeve and top-loader. Use 'eBay Standard Envelope' for $0.60-$1.00 shipping to make the total price attractive to buyers.
