Description
2021 Topps Series 2 Ke'Bryan Hayes #363 base card. Note: This card features a significant visual anomaly where Ke'Bryan Hayes (a Pittsburgh Pirates player) is depicted in a Cincinnati Reds uniform with Reds team branding. Standard 2021 Topps #363 cards show him in a Pirates uniform. The card has a matte finish with the 'Topps 75' anniversary logo in the top right corner.
Key Features
Features Ke'Bryan Hayes, a high-potential young 3B. This card is a notable 'Error Card' or 'Variation' where the player's team is incorrectly listed as the Cincinnati Reds instead of the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Authenticity Indicators
Confidence: Low/Medium. While it follows the 2021 Topps design, this specific 'Reds' variation is not among the standard short prints (SPs) or known uncorrected errors (UER) for the 2021 set. Authentic cards should have a specific gloss and stock thickness; physical confirmation of the Topps UV coating is required.
Flaws to Note
Slight centering bias toward the right side. Minor edge wear on the right side. Disclaimer: There is a high probability this is a custom-printed 'novelty' card or a digital manipulation, as a widespread Topps error of this specific nature (swapping entire uniforms/logos for Hayes) is not officially documented in high volumes.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform to capture 'Error Card' collectors. Niche Facebook groups dedicated to 'Topps Errors and Variations' would also be ideal.
Selling Tips
Do not grade until you verify if PSA/BGS recognizes this as a legitimate Topps factory error. If it is a custom 're-fronted' card, it will be rejected. List as 'Ke'Bryan Hayes 2021 Topps REDS ERROR' to attract eyes. Ship in a penny sleeve and top-loader via USPS Ground Advantage.
