Description
This is a custom art card featuring a fantasy 'what-if' scenario of Pete Alonso on the Baltimore Orioles. The card utilizes a brush-stroke, painterly aesthetic with a vibrant orange and black background to match the Orioles branding. Please note this is not an official Topps-released product.
Key Features
Features a 'What-If' trade scenario; unique custom art design; interesting conversation piece for Orioles or Mets fans.
Authenticity Indicators
Low Authenticity Confidence for a licensed product. This is a clear custom/reprint style card because Pete Alonso has never played for the Baltimore Orioles and the Topps logo is absent from its usual position. The font for the player name does not perfectly match the 2024 Topps 'Neon' style typeface.
Flaws to Note
As a custom card, it lacks standard manufacturer security features; edges appear roughly cut compared to factory standards; slight surface glare from the plastic sleeve.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (listed under 'Custom Cards' or 'Art Cards'), Etsy, or specialized trade groups for Baltimore Orioles 'What-If' memorabilia.
Selling Tips
Always disclose that the card is a 'Custom' or 'Art Card' in the title and description to avoid buyer disputes. Shipping should be done via eBay Standard Envelope for low-cost items.
