Description
This 2023 Panini USA Baseball Stars & Stripes card features Valentin Ceballos in his 16U/17U National Team Development Program uniform. The card showcases a high-action pitching motion with a patriotic red, white, and blue design including a stylized flag at the bottom. The USA Baseball Stars & Stripes logo is prominent in the top right corner.
Key Features
Features a young prospect from the USA Baseball National Team Development Program (NTDP). It is part of a highly collected set for MLB Draft enthusiasts and prospectors looking to buy players before they enter professional ball.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. The card stock depth, clean logo printing, and the specific finish of Panini's USA Baseball line are correct. This card is not currently a target for counterfeiters due to its low market value.
Flaws to Note
Minor centering issues: the white border is thicker on the left and bottom than the right and top. This is a common manufacturing trait for this set but may prevent a PSA 10 grade.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (as part of a team or set lot), COMC, or Sportlots. This card is best sold in a 'player lot' or 'team lot' to justify the shipping costs.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card individually as the fees will far outweigh the profit. Use a 'Plain White Envelope' (PWE) shipping method for around $1.00 to remain competitive. Use keywords like 'USA Baseball', 'NTDP', and 'Prospect' in the title.
