Extremely low print run (1 of only 3 produced); NIL collegiate card for a starting Big 12 Quarterback; high-end Steampunk insert design; comes in original factory-sealed magnetic holder.

Correct Wild Card holographic seal on the top of the case; crisp hand-numbering in the bottom left; Pro Look College logo (PRC) indicates licensed NIL production. Confidence: High.

Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform for this card due to its niche nature; TCU fan groups on Facebook or blowoutcards.com forums may also have interested buyers.
Selling Tips
Do not remove from the factory-sealed magnetic holder, as the 'unopened' status adds value to Wild Card collectors. List during the college football season when Hoover has a high-yardage game. Use keywords: 'TCU', '1/1 style', 'SSP', and 'NIL'.
