Description
This 2017 Topps WWE card features the legendary 'Deadman,' The Undertaker, in his iconic ring attire during a SmackDown Live appearance. The card includes a certified 'Authentic Autograph' on a sticker, signed in brilliant blue ink. The design features the sleek 2017 Topps baseball-style borders with the SmackDown Live logo in the upper right. This is a must-have for any WWE collector or fan of the Phenom.
Key Features
Features a certified autograph from one of the most iconic wrestlers in history. Includes the SmackDown Live branding and the classic 2017 Topps flagship design. High desirability due to Undertaker's rare signing appearances compared to other legends.
Authenticity Indicators
High Confidence. The 'Topps Certified Autograph' text is visible behind the signature sticker. The holographic Topps logo and legal text on the reverse (assumed) would confirm authenticity. The blue ink and signature style match known Undertaker exemplars.
Flaws to Note
A slight right-to-left centering bias on the borders. Potential for light edge chipping on the dark portions of the card back (not visible in photo). The sticker autograph is slightly askew, which is common but can affect visual appeal to high-end collectors.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the primary marketplace for wrestling cards. High-end auction houses like Goldin or Heritage are better suited for serial-numbered or 1/1 parallels, but for this base auto, eBay or COMC are the best fit.
Selling Tips
Always use a penny sleeve and top-loader. List with keywords like 'Hall of Fame,' 'WWE Legend,' and 'Blue Ink.' If the card is extremely clean, grading with PSA is highly recommended as a PSA 10 for The Undertaker carries a significant premium over raw prices.
