Description
This is a stunning 2024 Topps Chrome rookie card featuring Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher River Ryan. The card utilizes the iconic 1954 Topps dual-portrait design on a high-end Chrome Orange Refractor stock. It features a bold on-card autograph in black ink and is hand-numbered 22/25 on the lower left of the portrait. The vibrant orange borders pop against the Dodger blue and white, making this one of the most desirable 'color' parallels in the set.
Key Features
Features the 'RC' shield, low serial number (22/25), on-card autograph (not a sticker), and the highly-coveted Orange Refractor color match associated with Dodgers highlights or limited print runs.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. The 'Topps Chrome' logo, the specific etching of the numbering (22/25), and the distinct luster of the Orange Refractor coating are consistent with 2024 Topps Chrome production.
Flaws to Note
A slight centering shift toward the bottom border is visible. Raw handling without a sleeve in the photo suggests potential for light surface oils or micro-scratches from the fingers, which are common on Chrome finish cards.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform for this card due to its rarity and the wide reach to Dodgers fans. Alternatively, high-end consignors like Goldin or PWCC should be considered if the card is graded PSA 10.
Selling Tips
Do not handle this card with bare hands anymore; put it immediately into a penny sleeve and top-loader. Grading is highly recommended given the /25 numbering. Use keywords like 'Dodgers', 'Orange Refractor', 'On Card Auto', and 'Low Pop'.
