Description
A 2024 Topps Series 1 base card featuring New York Yankees pitcher Carlos Rodón in his home pinstripes. The design features the 'neon' bordered 2024 aesthetic with the team logo in the bottom left and the player name in the bottom right. The card captures a dynamic action shot of Rodón mid-delivery.
Key Features
Features a prominent All-Star pitcher on a high-market team (New York Yankees) from the flagship Topps set of 2024.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. Card stock, gloss, and 2024 Topps logo positioning match standard production. This is a base card and is not a target for counterfeiting.
Flaws to Note
Centering is slightly off-center left-to-right (right-heavy). The card is being handled without a penny sleeve or top loader on a carpeted surface, which increases the risk of surface scratches and corner dings.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold as part of a New York Yankees team set or a bulk lot on eBay. Low individual value makes singular sales difficult due to shipping costs.
