Description
Featured is a 2017 Panini Revolution Vince Carter in his legendary North Carolina Tar Heels uniform. This is the 'Sunburst' parallel version, easily identified by its vibrant orange/gold radiating patterns and sparkling holofoil surface. The card features a dynamic action shot of Carter dribbling, accented by the UNC 'NC' logo in the top left and the 'Revolution' foil branding in the lower right.
Key Features
Low serial-numbered parallel (/75), features a Hall of Famer in his iconic college uniform, highly desirable 'Sunburst' visual pattern from a popular Panini brand.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. The intricate 'Revolution' texture and the specific depth of the holofoil pattern are extremely difficult to replicate. The die-cut nature of the pattern and crispness of the UNC logo are consistent with Panini factory production.
Flaws to Note
The bottom edge appears to have slight white chipping. Revolution sets are notorious for foil 'dimples' and surface scratches that are often invisible without a magnifying light. Centering on this specific copy appears roughly 60/40 weighted toward the bottom.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform for this card due to the high volume of Vince Carter player collectors and collegiate card seekers. COMC is a secondary option for consistent pricing.
Selling Tips
Highlight the serial numbering in the title 'Sunburst /75'. Use a video or multiple angles in listing photos to capture the way the light hits the sunburst foil. Use a penny sleeve and a brand new top loader to prevent surface scratches before shipping.
