The horizontal 'ANDRUW JONES' nameplate on the left side is embossed in gold foil.
Key Features
This is a true rookie card from the 1995 Pacific Prisms set, which was known for its high-end foil technology at the time. As Andruw Jones climbs the Hall of Fame voting percentages, his premium early rookies are gaining significant traction.
Authenticity Indicators
Authenticity Confidence: High. The card features the correct 'Pacific Collection' crown logo and high-quality etching density. Counterfeits of this specific Pacific set are very rare, as the prism foil technology of 1995 is difficult and expensive to replicate.
Flaws to Note
Full-bleed gold foil cards from this era are notorious for 'chipping' along the edges and edges. This specific example shows light white tipping on the bottom corners. The centering is favorited toward the left side. Surface scratches are common and easily visible on these mirror-like finishes.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform for this card due to high visibility. For a higher-end graded version (PSA 10), MySlabs or Goldin Auctions would be preferable. For the raw version, eBay or COMC are ideal.
Selling Tips
Do not sell this card raw if you believe the surface is flawless; a PSA 10 grade creates a massive value multiplier. Use high-resolution scans rather than photos to show the prism effect. In your title, include the keywords 'HOF', 'Braves', and 'Rare Foil'.
