Description
An incredibly rare 2/2 Green Parallel from the Wild Card Matte series featuring global sensation Lamine Yamal. This card features the 'Chase' logo and the 'X-Plode' design with a striking green-to-black geometric background. As an unlicensed card, logos are airbrushed, but the serial number 2/2 makes it a centerpiece for any Yamal collector.
Key Features
Extremely low pop (Serial Numbered 2/2), Rookie designation, features the top young prospect in world football, Lamine Yamal.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. The '2/2' gold stamping, specific Wild Card Matte texture, and distinct Chase logo are consistent with legitimate 2023 Wild Card production. These are rarely faked due to the complex matte/gloss finish.
Flaws to Note
Unlicensed product often suffers from minor edge chipping and surface dimples. Dark borders show whitening more easily if the blade was dull during cutting.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (Auction with a high reserve or high BIN/OBO) or specialized Facebook Soccer Card groups to avoid high fees. This card would also perform well at a major regional card show.
Selling Tips
Do not sell for 'base' prices; this is a 2/2. Use keywords like 'Rookie', 'Low Pop', and 'FC Barcelona star'. Given the rarity, professional grading by PSA is recommended to lock in the condition and maximize the premium price.
