Description
This 2020 Topps Living Set Joey Votto card features the iconic hand-painted art style of Mayumi Seto. A tribute to the classic 1953 Topps design, this card shows the Cincinnati Reds legend in a vibrant portrait holding his bat. As an online-exclusive print-to-order release, this card is a must-have for Reds fans and Living Set collectors.
Key Features
Features artwork by Mayumi Seto; limited print run based on original weekly sales; classic 1953 Topps design aesthetic; future Hall of Fame candidate Joey Votto.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. Authentic paper stock texture and specific Topps Living Set typography. These are rarely counterfeited due to low 'raw' value and specific matte finish.
Flaws to Note
Slight centering shift toward the left border; minor white specking on the bottom black edge (common for this set); potential for slight corner soft spots typical of the premium paper stock used for Living Set.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform for this card due to the high volume of 'Living Set' collectors searching there. COMC is also an excellent option for low-cost processing of modern base/parallel cards.
Selling Tips
Do not grade unless you are certain of a PSA 10, as the grading fee often exceeds the value of a PSA 9. Use keywords like 'Mayumi Seto', '1953 Design', and 'SP' or 'Print to Order' in the title. Ship in a penny sleeve and top loader inside a reinforced envelope.
