Description
Featured here is a 2015 Topps Inception Christian Yelich Pink Parallel, serial numbered 63/99. This card features a stunning artistic, painted-style image of Yelich in his Miami Marlins uniform against a vibrant pink and magenta smoky background. The 'Inception' branding is vertically embossed in silver foil on the left, with the player's name and team at the bottom. The thick card stock provides a premium feel characteristic of the Inception brand.
Key Features
Serial numbered 63/99; Early career Miami Marlins era card of the 2018 NL MVP; High-end artistic Inception design which is highly sought after by set collectors.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. The silver foil stamping is crisp and has the correct depth. The serial number 63/99 is correctly stamped in gold-tone foil. Card stock thickness is consistent with 2015 Inception production (approx 72pt - 100pt).
Flaws to Note
Corners show minor whitening, specifically the bottom right. Thick card stock is prone to edge chipping and 'soft' corners. The surface may have minor dimples common in high-gloss Inception finishes.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform for this card due to its specific parallel nature and the ability to reach player collectors. COMC is a secondary option for long-term consignment.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card unless it is flawless; the thick stock makes PSA 10s extremely rare and most fall into the 8-9 range, which often doesn't cover grading fees. List at a fixed price with 'Best Offer' enabled. Use 'Low Pop' and 'Numbered' in the title.
