Description
This 2024 Topps Series 1 card features Kansas City Royals superstar Bobby Witt Jr. on the iconic 1989 Topps '35th Anniversary' throwback design.

The bottom left features the '1989-2024 35th Anniversary' logo seal.
Key Features
Features a top-tier MLB superstar, iconic 1989 nostalgia design, and a retail-exclusive Blue parallel border which is more limited than the standard white-border insert.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. Authentic Topps card stock, correct 2024 copyright markings on reverse, accurate Blue border printing pattern, and legitimate 35th-anniversary foil stamp.
Flaws to Note
Slight right-to-left centering bias. Visible white 'touch' or chipping on the bottom right corner edge. Potential for minor surface scratches as these glossy/foil borders are prone to wear.

Selling Tips
Due to the estimated grade of PSA 8, it is likely not worth the cost of grading. Sell it 'Raw' (ungraded). Use keywords: '2024 Topps', 'Bobby Witt Jr', 'Blue Border', '1989 Anniversary'. Ship in a penny sleeve and top loader inside a reinforced envelope.
