Description
A stunning 2023-24 Topps Chrome UEFA Champions League card featuring Paris Saint-Germain star Nuno Mendes. This is the Green Cosmic Refractor parallel, featuring a vibrant prismatic 'crackled' green background. The card is limited edition, stamped with serial number 53/99 in gold foil.
Key Features
Low serial numbering out of 99; popular Cosmic 'atomic' refractor pattern; features a key young defender for PSG and Portugal; high-end Topps Chrome brand.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. Authentic Topps Chrome etching, correct gold foil stamping for the 53/99 serial number, and accurate PSG and UEFA logos. Not a high-risk card for counterfeiting due to the complex refractor finish.
Flaws to Note
Centering is slightly off-center left-to-right (heavier on the right border). Potential for micro-scratching on the sensitive Chrome surface which is common for this product.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform for this specific card to reach global soccer (football) card collectors. Also suitable for specialized Facebook soccer card groups.
Selling Tips
Highlight 'SP' and 'Numbered /99' in the title. Best sold during a PSG Champions League match week. Because it is a defender card with a raw value under $30, grading may not be worth the cost unless you are confident it is a flawless PSA 10.
