Description
A 2022 Topps Bo Bichette Stars of MLB insert card featuring the Toronto Blue Jays shortstop in a dynamic throwing pose. The card design features a vibrant cosmic-themed burst background with purple, blue, and pink hues, finished with a subtle foil laminate sheen common to this retail-exclusive insert set.
Key Features
Features All-Star shortstop Bo Bichette; part of the popular retail-exclusive 'Stars of MLB' insert series; iconic 2022 Topps photography.
Authenticity Indicators
Authenticity confidence is High. This is a common mass-produced insert with correct foil stamping, Topps logo placement, and card stock; it is not a card commonly targeted for counterfeiting due to high supply.
Flaws to Note
Significant whitening on all four corners, particularly visible on the bottom-right and top-left corners; minor chipping along the bottom edge; centering appears slightly shifted to the left; surface lacks a protective sleeve in the provided image which suggests handling wear.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best suited for eBay as a 'Buy It Now' listing, a local card shop's $1 bin, or bundled in a Toronto Blue Jays team lot on Facebook Marketplace.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card, as the cost of grading ($19+) is significantly higher than the card's market value. To maximize profit, combine it with other Bo Bichette or Blue Jays cards into a 'Team Lot' to save on shipping. Use eBay Standard Envelope for low-cost tracked shipping.
