Description
A clean 2022 Topps Series 2 base card featuring Toronto Blue Jays superstar Vladimir Guerrero Jr. The card shows Vlad Jr. in his red alternate Blue Jays jersey in a powerful batting stance. The design features the 'Topps 75' anniversary logo in the upper right. The card has crisp white borders and vibrant color.
Key Features
Features one of the premier young power hitters in MLB; includes the Topps 75th Anniversary logo; modern design aesthetics from the flagship 2022 set.
Authenticity Indicators
Authenticity is high. The card stock depth, gloss finish, and micro-printing of the Topps logo and Blue Jays branding are consistent with genuine 2022 Topps flagship production. This specific base card is rarely counterfeited due to high supply.
Flaws to Note
Slight rightward centering on the front. While common for mass-produced flagship sets, this may prevent it from achieving a 'Gem Mint' PSA 10 grade without a closer physical inspection of the back.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best suited for eBay (as a PWE/envelope listing), COMC for long-term consignment, or as part of a 'player lot' of Guerrero Jr. cards to maximize shipping value.
Selling Tips
Due to the low raw value, it is generally not recommended to grade this card unless you are confident it is a perfect PSA 10, as grading fees will exceed the card's market value. If selling raw, use 'Standard Envelope' for $1.00 or less to keep the total cost attractive to buyers.
