Condition Grade
Estimated PSA 9 (Mint). The centering appears excellent. The card is currently raw and uncontained, posing a risk to surface and corners. Edges look sharp based on the photo, but surface micro-scratches from the textured fabric are a concern.

Description
A stunning 2023-24 Panini Revolution Ausar Thompson Rookie Card featuring the 'Winter' parallel design. This card showcases Thompson in his Detroit Pistons uniform in a dynamic dunking pose. The background features the signature Revolution psychedelic pattern with added snowflake holographic foil patterns unique to the Winter retail release. The card features a high-gloss finish with intricate die-cut-style visual patterns.
Key Features
True Rookie Card (RC) of the 2023 #5 overall NBA Draft pick. Features the seasonally limited 'Winter' snowflake parallel print found in retail blaster boxes.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. The proprietary Panini foil technology, snowflake holographic pattern, and specific card stock thickness are consistent with authentic Revolution 2023-24 production.
Flaws to Note
The card is being held against a coarse fabric (sock/clothing) which can cause surface scratching or 'white' corner dings if moved. Bottom right corner shows slight potential whitening. Surface should be checked for vertical print lines common in Revolution sets.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform for this specific card due to the high volume of basketball card collectors. It would also do well in 'dollar bins' at local card shows or as part of a Detroit Pistons team lot on Facebook groups.
Selling Tips
Immediately place the card into a penny sleeve and a top loader to prevent further surface damage. When photographing for sale, remove it from the fabric and place it on a flat, neutral surface with good lighting to highlight the 'Winter' foil patterns. Listing during the NBA season is recommended.
