Demand Level
Strong. De Vries is a 'hype' prospect. Demand for his early cards is high among prospectors looking for the next superstar, though Panini's lack of MLB licensing (no team logos) slightly limits the ceiling compared to Topps/Bowman.

Description
This is a 2024 Donruss Optic 'Rated Prospect' card featuring top international signee Leo De Vries. The card features the 'Orange Ice' cracked-ice refractor parallel pattern, offering a vibrant geometric shine. De Vries is depicted in a batting stance wearing an Oakland (OAK) style green and gold helmet. The card includes the iconic 'Rated Prospect' logo in the lower right corner and the 'Optic Donruss' logo in the upper left.
Key Features
Leo De Vries is one of the most highly-touted international prospects in baseball (signed by the Padres, though represented here in Oakland colors due to licensing/thematic choices or prospect status). The Orange Ice parallel is a retail-exclusive mosaic-style refractor that is highly collectible.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. The 'Optic' brand text, refractive 'cracked ice' pattern, and thickness of the chromium stock are consistent with authentic Panini 2024 products. Not a commonly counterfeited card due to high production of base parallels.
Flaws to Note
Visible corner wear on the bottom right; possible white chipping on the bottom edge. Chrome/Optic cards are also prone to vertical surface scratches straight from the pack (refractor lines).
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best venue for this specific parallel to reach the widest audience of prospect hunters. Alternatively, COMC is good for long-term listing for international buyers.
Selling Tips
Sell now while the 2024 Optic set is still fresh and De Vries is a hot name in prospect rankings. Use keywords like 'Cracked Ice', 'Short Print', and '1st Card'. Do not grade unless you are certain it is a PSA 10 candidate, as the grading fee currently exceeds the raw value for a PSA 9.
