Condition Grade
PSA 8 (NM-MT). The centering appears slightly heavy to the right. Corners look relatively sharp, but there is visible surface smudging and possible faint scratches typical of Chrome stock without a sleeve.

Demand Level
Moderate. Joey Votto has a very dedicated fan base and strong 'player collector' market. While not a rookie card, Refractors of star players remain steady movers.
Valuation

$2.00 - $5.00
Graded Value
PSA 8: $12-18, PSA 9: $25-35, PSA 10: $65-85
Comparable Sales
Recent eBay sales for raw copies range from $1.50 to $4.99 plus shipping. PSA 10 copies have recently sold in the $70 range, but the cost and risk of grading a modern non-rookie make it a gamble.
Description
A stunning 2019 Topps Chrome Prism Refractor featuring Cincinnati Reds legend Joey Votto. The card showcases a high-gloss chrome finish with a unique 'Prism' etched pattern that creates a multi-color rainbow effect when held to the light. Votto is depicted in his Reds home red jersey, kneeling in the on-deck circle. The modern design features the iconic Topps Chrome logo in the upper left and the Reds team logo in the bottom right.
Key Features
Features future Hall of Fame candidate Joey Votto; desirable Prism Refractor parallel; part of the popular Topps Chrome flagship brand; iconic photography from the 2019 design.
Authenticity Indicators
Authentic. The refractive pattern is consistent with Topps' proprietary Prism tech. Printing of the Reds logo and player name is crisp and recessed into the chrome coating. Confidence: High.
Flaws to Note
Centering is approximately 60/40 to the right. The card is currently unsleeved on a textured surface, which risks surface scratching. Minor edge whitening may be present on the top border.

Selling Tips
