Key Features
Limited serial numbering to just 99 copies (/99), highly desirable Green Refractor parallel finish, features an elite Cy Young Award-winning pitcher for the storied New York Yankees.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence in authenticity. Features correct 2023 Bowman Chrome chromium card stock thickness, crisp refractor rainbow dispersion, clean foil-stamped serial numbering (42/99), and sharp font typography. Not a commonly counterfeited card for a veteran player.
Flaws to Note

Selling Tips
Raw cards numbered to 99 often sell well raw if condition is pristine, but grading can add value if a PSA 10 is secured. Always ship securely in a penny sleeve, top loader, team bag, and between two pieces of rigid cardboard via a bubble mailer with tracking.
