Description
A stunning 2023 Topps Chrome Gold Refractor featuring Seattle Seahawks star cornerback Riq Woolen. This card is serial numbered 43/50 in gold foil on the bottom right. The design features a retro-inspired border with 'SEAHAWKS' vertically on the left side and a high-gloss metallic finish. Woolen is shown in his Seahawks home navy uniform.
Key Features
Serial numbered to only 50 copies; iconic Topps Chrome Gold Refractor parallel; young Pro Bowl defensive star; high-gloss aesthetic appeal.
Authenticity Indicators
Authenticity Confidence: High. Correct prismatic refractor light refraction; crisp gold foil stamp for serial numbering; standard Topps Chrome card stock thickness and logo etching.
Flaws to Note
The card appears slightly off-center left-to-right (heavier border on the right side). There is a possible minor print line typical of Chrome finishes near the center, though this may be a reflection from the top loader.

Selling Tips
Do not grade unless you are confident it will hit a PSA 10, as the cost of grading and current raw value are close. Use 'Riq Woolen Gold Refractor /50' in the title. Ship in a bubble mailer (Ground Advantage) rather than a plain envelope due to the serial numbering.
