Description
This high-end 2013 National Treasures Christian Yelich card features a 'Colossal' grey jersey relic piece from his rookie debut season. The card is serial numbered 57/99 in silver foil across the player's chest imaging. It features a clean, minimalist white design with silver foil accents and the classic 'National Treasures' branding at the header.
Key Features
Rookie-year production (2013), serial numbered to 99, featuring an MVP-caliber player in his original Miami Marlins uniform. Large 'Colossal' relic window is a hallmark of the NT set.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. The silver foil stamping of the serial number '57/99' is crisp and indented into the card stock. The jersey texture is consistent with Panini's secondary market relics.
Flaws to Note
Slight corner softening on the bottom left and right. Minor white chipping visible on the top edge. The card surface on thick stock often shows light refractor-style scuffing under direct light.
