Demand Level
Low to Moderate. While it is an error, it is an 'Uncorrected Error' (UER), meaning most copies of card #238 exist this way, which lowers the scarcity premium. Demand is mostly from 'Error & Variations' collectors.

Raw (Ungraded) Value
$1.00 - $5.00
Graded Value
PSA 8: $12-18, PSA 9: $25-35, PSA 10: $60-80 (Note: Value is driven by error-completionists rather than player rarity).
Comparable Sales
Recent eBay sales for raw copies range from $0.99 to $4.50 plus shipping. Multi-card 'error lots' including this card often sell for $10-15. Graded 10s have sporadically reached $50 among Pirates fans.
Description
This is a 2024 Topps Series 1 card featuring an action shot of Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds in a road 'throwback' style jersey, but the nameplate incorrectly identifies him as 'Brandon Lowe' of the Tampa Bay Rays. This was a widespread uncorrected error (UER) in the early print runs of the 2024 series.
Key Features
Notable uncorrected error (UER). Features high-quality action photography. Part of the Topps 75th Anniversary design era. Primarily desirable for error card collectors or Pirates/Rays team set completionists.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. This is a mass-produced modern base card. The Topps 75 logo and wood-grain background texture are consistent with authentic 2024 Series 1 stock. The 'Brandon Lowe' text at the bottom is standardized print for this specific error number.
Flaws to Note
Centering is slightly shifted to the right border. Mild white edging may be present at the bottom left 'P' corner, typical of modern Topps card stock. No major surface scratches or creases visible.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best venue for low-value error cards using the 'eBay Standard Envelope' shipping for items under $20. Also suitable for COMC for long-term storage and flip potential.
Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'ERROR', 'MISPRINT', and 'Bryan Reynolds' in the title even though the card says Brandon Lowe. Do not grade this card unless you are confident in a PSA 10, as the grading fee will likely exceed the market value of a PSA 9.
