Description
The reverse of a 2025 Topps Series Two baseball card featuring Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Shane McClanahan. The back includes his major league pitching record spanning 2021-2023, biographical data, and a summary of his expected return for the 2025 season following Tommy John surgery.
Key Features
Features an All-Star pitcher with high-strikeout metrics. High-quality 2025 Flagship design. Key pitcher for a competitive Tampa Bay Rays roster.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence (99%). Features official MLB and MLBPA logos, specific 2025 copyright text, and standard Topps high-gloss cardstock indicators. These cards are not typically counterfeited.
Flaws to Note
Minor centering shift detectable on the right border. No visible surface damage or corner whitening from the provided image, but being stored in a binder sleeve can sometimes lead to micro-scratches on the surface.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best suited for eBay (as part of a team lot or PWE shipping), COMC, or Sportlots. Not recommended for major auction houses as it is a base card.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card individually as the cost will outweigh the market value. Sell as part of a Tampa Bay Rays team set or a 'bulk lot' of 2025 stars to maximize shipping efficiency and buyer interest via eBay Standard Envelope.
