Description
This 2023 Topps Now card features Elly De La Cruz during his highly anticipated 'Call-Up' period. The card commemorates his record-breaking performance on July 16, 2023, where he recorded the fastest infield assist in the Statcast ERA (97.9 mph). The design features a high-action photography layout with the iconic red and white Cincinnati Reds color scheme and the Topps Now logo in the top right.
Key Features
Features one of MLB's most exciting young stars; commemorates a specific Statcast world record; limited print-to-order window makes it scarcer than standard flagship base cards.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. Authenticity is verified by the specific gloss finish of Topps Now stock and the distinct crisp resolution of the back-side text and Topps logo. These are rarely counterfeited due to the high print run of the base version (17,635).
Flaws to Note
Centering appears slightly heavy toward the bottom edge. Standard white-bordered edges on Topps Now cards are prone to tiny 'chipping' out of the package. Surface may have minor print lines visible under high magnification.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform for this card due to the high volume of player-specific collectors. COMC is a good secondary option for long-term storage and convenient selling.
Selling Tips
Do not grade unless you are certain it is a PSA 10 candidate, as the grading fee often exceeds the value of a PSA 9. Use keywords like 'Rookie', 'Statcast Record', and 'Reds' in the title. Ship in a penny sleeve and top-loader inside a cardboard-reinforced bubble mailer.
