Condition Grade
PSA 9 (Mint) candidate; centering is slightly heavy to the right (approx 60/40), corners and edges appear sharp through the top-loader.

Base / Rated Rookie
Manufacturer
Panini (Donruss Optic)
Demand Level
Moderate; Matthews is a high-ceiling prospect, but the lack of an MLB license (no team logos) on Panini cards keeps demand lower than Topps/Bowman counterparts.

Comparable Sales
Recent eBay sales for raw copies range from $0.99 to $2.50 plus shipping. Graded copies are currently scarce as it is a 2024 release not typically prioritized for bulk submissions.
Description
Featured is a 2024 Donruss Optic 'Rated Rookie' of Houston prospect Brice Matthews. The card features a clean white border with the classic Optic chrome finish and a high-action shot of Matthews running the bases in his Houston gear. Includes the iconic Rated Rookie logo in the bottom left corner.
Key Features
Features a top Houston Astros first-round draft pick (2023); popular 'Rated Rookie' subset; Optic brand high-gloss chrome finish.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. Correct 'Optic' logo font and placement; appropriate card stock thickness; standard Panini-style rear micro-printing. This is not a commonly faked card due to its current market value.
Flaws to Note
Centering is slightly shifted to the right border. Potential surface dimples or light scratches common with Optic chrome finishes (hard to verify without card removal from sleeve).
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (lowest fees for cheap singles), COMC (for bulk processing), or local card trade nights for Houston-area collectors.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card unless you are certain it is a PSA 10, as grading costs will exceed the value of a PSA 9. List with keywords 'Astros Prospect' and '1st Round Pick' to attract team collectors.
