Description
A stunning 2023 Topps Chrome Football 'Abduction' insert featuring star tight end Trey McBride. The card features a high-concept sci-fi design with McBride centered in an alien abduction tractor beam, accented by neon orange and yellow highlights. The Chrome refractor finish provides a vibrant shine across the futuristic background.
Key Features
Super Short Print (SSP) status makes this a rare pull; part of the popular space-themed 'Abduction' insert set; McBride is a rising star in the NFL, increasing player-specific demand.
Authenticity Indicators
Correct Topps Chrome logo placement; specific 'Abduction' etching and color saturation; correct card stock thickness. Confidence: High. These are not frequently faked due to the complex etching processes.
Flaws to Note
Slight bottom-heavy centering on the front; potential for light surface scratches common with Chrome stock; the top-loader has a scratch, but the card appears protected. Need to check for 'refractor lines' under direct light.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform for this specific card to capture the widest audience of set collectors; COMC is a secondary option for long-term consignment.
Selling Tips
List as 'SSP' and 'Case Hit' (though technically an SSP) to drive traffic. Avoid grading unless you are certain of a PSA 10, as the raw value is currently strong. Ship in a bubble mailer with cardboard protection (not a plain white envelope).
