Description
Up for consideration is an ultra-rare 2002 Topps Chrome Randy Johnson Black Border Autograph card, hand-numbered 09/10. The card features a glossy chromium finish showcasing the Hall of Fame pitcher in his Arizona Diamondbacks uniform delivering a pitch. A clean blue ink, on-card signature is prominently displayed across the lower portion, complemented by the official Topps Certified Autograph Issue stamp and the scarce black parallel border design.
Key Features
Extremely low print run numbered out of only 10 copies, authentic on-card autograph, Hall of Fame subject Randy Johnson pictured with the Arizona Diamondbacks, highly desirable Topps Chrome chromium finish and black border parallel.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence in authenticity. Chromium card stock has correct weight and reflectivity. Holographic back elements and sharp print quality match genuine 2002 Topps Chrome parallels. Numbering in gold ink 09/10 matches factory specifications.
Flaws to Note
Slight corner softening and typical minor surface micro-scratching common with early 2000s chrome black borders. Centering appears generally solid within acceptable modern tolerance.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay or high-end auction houses such as Goldin, Heritage, or PWCC due to the rarity and high value of a card numbered to 10.
Selling Tips
It is strongly recommended to have the card authenticated and graded by PSA or BGS prior to sale to maximize return on a serial-numbered superstar autograph. Secure in a magnetic holder inside a team bag, and ship via fully insured priority mail with signature confirmation.
