Description
This is a custom-made, unlicensed baseball card featuring Japanese pitching sensation Roki Sasaki photoshopped into a Los Angeles Dodgers uniform. It utilizes a design highly reminiscent of contemporary Bowman and Topps flagship cards, including the 'RC' rookie logo and 'B' Bowman-style logo. The card shows Sasaki in a high-leg-kick pitching motion.
Key Features
Features high-demand international prospect Roki Sasaki. Depicts him in a Dodgers uniform (theoretical team placement), which is a popular fantasy scenario for collectors.
Authenticity Indicators
Low Confidence as a 'collectible.' This is a known 'custom' or 'art' card frequently sold on platforms like Etsy or eBay as a novelty. It lacks the holographic foil, official MLB licensing, and crisp back-of-card printing found on genuine Topps/Bowman products. Roki Sasaki does not currently have an official MLB card in a Dodgers uniform as he has not yet signed with an MLB team.
Flaws to Note
As a custom card, the print quality and card stock are not consistent with professional manufacturing. Centering appears slightly heavy to the right. Please note that this is not an official Topps, Bowman, or MLB licensed product.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (must be listed as 'Custom' or 'Aceo'), Mercari, or as a novelty gift for a Dodgers fan. Do not attempt to sell this as an official rookie card.
Selling Tips
Be 100% transparent in the listing that this is a custom art card and not an official MLB/Topps product. Use keywords like 'Novelty' or 'Art Card' to avoid account flags for selling counterfeit goods.
