Demand Level
Moderate. Sandy Alcantara is a highly respected pitcher, but base cards from the modern era have very high production numbers, limiting individual card demand.
Valuation
Raw (Ungraded) Value
$0.50 - $2.00
Graded Value
PSA 8: $10-15, PSA 9: $18-25, PSA 10: $35-50
Comparable Sales
Recent eBay sales for raw copies range from $0.99 to $1.99 plus shipping. Graded PSA 10 copies have recently sold for $30-45, but this specific card would not qualify for that grade.
Description
This is a 2022 Topps Series 2 base card featuring Miami Marlins ace Sandy Alcantara. The card features a dynamic action shot of the pitcher in his white Miami home jersey, celebrating a play. The design includes the 'Topps 75' anniversary logo in the top right corner and the 'MIA' team abbreviation in the top left.
Key Features
Features a Cy Young Award winner (2022) during his peak season. Clean, modern Topps design which is the flagship product for baseball collectors.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence in authenticity. Standard glossy Topps card stock, correct font weights, and clear holographic elements on the Topps logo. This is a common base card and is not typically counterfeited.
Flaws to Note
Significant white chipping/wear is visible along the left vertical edge. The bottom right corner appears slightly rounded. These flaws would likely prevent a high-tier grade from PSA or BGS.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold as part of a Miami Marlins team set or a bulk lot on eBay. Not worth the fees of individual listing unless sold on a platform like COMC or Mercari in a bundle.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card; the cost of grading significantly exceeds the market value. List as part of a 'Sandy Alcantara Lot' to maximize shipping efficiency.
