Description
This 2024 Topps Series 2 insert features top Cubs prospect Pete Crow-Armstrong on the iconic 1989 Topps woodgrain-inspired border design, updated with a modern Silver Foil Board finish. The card shows Crow-Armstrong in his Chicago Cubs home pinstripes with arms outstretched in a celebratory pose. The Topps 75th Anniversary logo is featured in the top left corner.
Key Features
Features one of the Chicago Cubs' most anticipated rookies; utilizes the popular 1989 throwback design; high-gloss silver foil finish which is more limited than the standard paper insert version.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence; features the correct multi-colored 'Topps 75' logo and crisp typography characteristic of the 2024 Series 2 release. Not a high-risk card for counterfeiting due to low current market value.
Flaws to Note
Centering appears slightly shifted toward the left border (approx 60/40). Being a foil-based card, the surface is prone to hairline scratches and 'dimples' from the factory which can prevent a PSA 10 grade.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform for low-to-mid value modern inserts. Could also be sold quickly in Chicago-based Facebook card trade groups or as part of a 'lot' of Cubs cards.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card unless you are certain it is a PSA 10, as the grading fee will exceed the value of a PSA 9. List as 'Pete Crow-Armstrong 2024 Topps Series 2 1989 Foil' to capture search traffic. Ship in a penny sleeve and top loader via eBay Standard Envelope for low-cost tracking.
