Description
Featured here is a 2023 Topps Chrome Mike Yastrzemski X-Fractor parallel. The card features a high-action shot of the Giants outfielder making a diving catch, set against a stunning checkerboard holographic 'X-Fractor' pattern that reflects light brilliantly. The bottom left features a portrait photo and the iconic San Francisco Giants logo.
Key Features
Popular X-Fractor parallel found exclusively in Mega Boxes; features Mike Yastrzemski, grandson of HOF legend Carl Yastrzemski; high-action photography; premium chrome finish.
Authenticity Indicators

Flaws to Note
Centering is slightly off-center (approx 60/40) toward the left and bottom. Common for this set are vertical print lines through the refractor coating which may be present but hard to see in the photo.
