Description
This card features pitcher Shane Baz using the 2022 Topps flagship design commemorating Topps' 75th Anniversary. Notably, the image depicts a pitcher in a Baltimore Orioles uniform with 'BAL' team abbreviation, whereas Shane Baz is a pitcher for the Tampa Bay Rays. This appears to be a custom fantasy card, error print, or novelty altered card head-swapped/edited with an Orioles jersey.
Key Features
Features the 2022 Topps 75th Anniversary logo design, full-bleed border aesthetic, and prominent player action shot. Unique presentation showing Shane Baz depicted as an Baltimore Orioles player.
Authenticity Indicators
Low/Medium confidence as a factory product. Shane Baz officially plays for the Tampa Bay Rays and his official 2022 Topps #18 rookie card features him in a Tampa Bay Rays uniform. This item is likely a fan-made custom, error test, or printed novelty card.
Flaws to Note
Centering appears slightly heavy on the right edge. Corners and surface look clean, but key anomaly is the incorrect team/jersey art overlay.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (listed as custom/novelty), Mercari, or local trade groups.
Selling Tips
