Description
This is a 2023 Donruss Optic 'Rated Rookie' featuring Jacksonville Jaguars defensive end Tyler Lacy. The card is the 'Teal Velocity' retail-exclusive parallel, featuring a vibrant teal border with a distinct micro-diamond light-refracting 'velocity' pattern. Lacy is pictured in his Jaguars away uniform.
Key Features
Features the iconic 'Rated Rookie' logo; Teal Velocity parallel is a popular eye-appeal chase card for team collectors; official rookie year card.

Selling Tips
Do not grade this card, as the cost of grading ($19+) significantly exceeds the market value. Use '2023 Optic Tyler Lacy Teal Velocity Rated Rookie' as keywords. Ship in a cardboard-backed 'non-machinable' envelope or eBay Standard Envelope for $1.00 or less to keep the total cost attractive to buyers.
