Recent 1/1 'White Whale' or 'Black' parallels of Yamal from Wild Card have fluctuated between $800 and $1,500. A /2 Green parallel like this bridges the gap between high-end numbered parallels and the true 'one of one' cards. The market is currently volatile but trending upward.
Description
An extremely rare low-numbered rookie card of soccer phenom Lamine Yamal. This card features a futuristic 'X-Plode' design with a Green foil parallel background, part of the high-end 'Chase' edition within the Wild Card Matte set. The card is serial numbered '2/2' on the right-hand side, making it one of the rarest non-1/1 versions available.
Key Features
Features the world's most hyped young soccer prospect, Lamine Yamal. The ultra-low serial numbering (2/2) and the 'R' rookie designation drive significant value despite being an unlicensed product.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. The foil stamping for '2/2' and 'CHASE' utilizes Wild Card's proprietary holographic layering. Unlicensed cards like these are rarely counterfeited while the player is currently active; instead, people look for authentic serial numbering and stock thickness.
Flaws to Note
The card appears to have slight white specking on the bottom edge which may be light reflection or minor factory chipping. Wild Card Matte products are prone to surface scratches and edge wear during the manufacturing process.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (Auction with a high reserve or fixed price with 'Best Offer' enabled), or specialty soccer card auction houses like Goldin or PWCC due to the card's extreme rarity.
Selling Tips
Avoid grading with smaller companies; only use PSA for this specific player to maximize the multiplier. If selling raw, provide high-resolution photos of the four corners and the serial number. List this during a major Barcelona match or international break to capitalize on hype.
