Card #
US121
Condition Grade
Estimated PSA 9 (Mint). The card appears well-centered with sharp corners visible through the binder sleeve. However, binder storage without penny sleeves often leads to surface micro-scratching which would prevent a Gem Mint (PSA 10) grade.

Description
A 2021 Topps Update Series Rookie Combos card featuring Cleveland Indians (now Guardians) pitchers Trevor Stephan and Nick Sandlin. The card back features a short bio on their 2021 bullpen debut and Rule 5 draft status. This is a standard base card from the flagship Topps Update product.
Key Features
Includes 'Rookie Card' (RC) logo on front; dual player prospect card; flagship Topps design; collectible for Cleveland team sets.
Authenticity Indicators
Correct Topps logo placement, crisp typography in the 'Update Series' and 'US121' areas, and standard card stock gloss. High confidence in authenticity; this card is not commonly counterfeited due to high production volume.
Flaws to Note
Currently stored in a PVC-style binder page without individual penny sleeves; this can cause surface 'fogging' or static scratches over time. Visible top-to-bottom centering appears slightly top-heavy.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold as part of a 'Cleveland Guardians Team Lot' on eBay or through a bulk-consignment service like COMC (Check Out My Cards). Individual sale is difficult due to shipping costs versus card value.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card; the grading fees will be significantly higher than the final sale price. If selling, use 'eBay Standard Envelope' for low-cost shipping. Group it with other 2021 Cleveland rookies to increase appeal.
