Description
This is a base veteran/rookie crossover card from the 2024 Topps Update Series set. It features Atlanta Braves pitcher Grant Holmes in his home white uniform with blue sleeves. The design includes the classic 2024 Topps border with the 'Topps 75' anniversary logo in the top right corner. The card captures Holmes in a dynamic pitching follow-through.
Key Features
Features Grant Holmes in his debut season with the Atlanta Braves; high-quality action photography; part of the popular Topps Update set which chronicles mid-season call-ups and trades.
Authenticity Indicators
Correct 2024 design motifs, high-resolution printing of the 'A' Braves logo, and appropriate card stock gloss. Confidence: High. This is a common base card and extremely unlikely to be counterfeited.
Flaws to Note
The photo shows minor centering issues with the right border being slightly thicker than the left. There is a visible white spec on the top-left corner tip suggesting minor shelf wear. Standard surface scratches typical of base gloss can't be ruled out without a loupe.
