Key Features
First official Topps Chrome card for the character; part of the massive Disney 100th Anniversary celebration set; popular Wave Refractor parallel; features nostalgic High School Musical character played by Corbin Bleu.

Flaws to Note
Minor bottom-heavy centering; light surface scratches common on Chrome stock; possible factory 'dimples' common in this specific release. The high-gloss surface is prone to fingerprints.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform for this card to reach the widest audience of Disney and High School Musical collectors. Mercari is also a viable secondary option for 'Disneyana' shoppers.
Selling Tips
Do not grade unless it is a guaranteed PSA 10, as raw copies sell well to set builders. Use keywords like 'High School Musical', 'Corbin Bleu', and 'Disney 100' in the title. Always ship in a fresh penny sleeve and top loader inside a bubble mailer.
