Description
Featured here is a 2019 Panini Prizm Alex Rodriguez No. 232, featuring a stunning blue prizm finish and limited to only 75 copies. This specific card is hand-stamped 06/75 on the reverse. The design showcases A-Rod in his iconic Seattle Mariners uniform, throwing across the diamond.

Key Features
Hand-numbered /75 (Low print run), Hall of Fame caliber player despite controversy, popular Prizm brand, features him in Seattle Mariners era throwbacks.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. The '06/75' stamp shows correct ink saturation for Panini; the Prizm logo and copyright text are crisp and match 2019 production standards. The card stock thickness is standard for chrome-style technology.
Flaws to Note
The photo shows the card inside a scuffed top-loader, which may be hiding surface scratches on the card's chrome surface. Centering on the back is slightly off toward the bottom edge. Potential for minor edge chipping common in Panini Prizm products of this era.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell

Selling Tips
In your listing title, use keywords like 'Short Print', '/75', and 'Mariners'. It is not recommended to grade this card for profit unless it appears to be a flaw-free 10, as the grading fee of $20+ may negate the profit margin on a $15 raw card. Ship in a bubble mailer (Ground Advantage) for tracking, as the card is worth enough to protect beyond a standard envelope.
