2023 Topps Series 1 Andrés Giménez card #228. This card features the Cleveland Guardians All-Star second baseman in his navy 'CLE' jersey, pointing upward after a play. The card utilizes the 2023 Topps design with a white border and team-colored accents.
Key Features
Features a Gold Glove and Platinum Glove winner; highlights the new Cleveland Guardians branding; base card from the flagship Topps set.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. Correct Topps logo placement, crisp typography in the player nameplate, and industry-standard card stock for 2023 flagship products. Not a commonly counterfeited card due to high production volume.
Flaws to Note
A slight left-to-right centering shift is visible on the front. Potential for white chipping on back corners (common for 2023 Topps stock) cannot be ruled out without a scan of the reverse side.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (as a 'Buy It Now' with eBay Standard Envelope), COMC (for long-term 'set filler' sales), or local card shop bulk bins.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card; the grading fee will be significantly higher than the card's market value. Best sold as part of a Cleveland Guardians team set or a 2023 Topps complete set. If listing on eBay, use a high-quality scan and use 'eBay Standard Envelope' for $0.60 - $1.00 shipping to remain competitive.
