Authenticity Indicators
Authenticity is confirmed by the 'Topps Certified Autograph Issue' text and the official MLB/Bowman holographic foil logos. High confidence in authenticity; this player/card is not frequently targeted for counterfeiting.
Flaws to Note
Minor edge wear and corner whitening typical of thick card stock. Slight surface scratching on the high-gloss finish may be present. The autograph is a sticker rather than on-card, which is slightly less desirable to high-end collectors.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform due to the specific player/team niche. COMC is also a good option for low-to-mid value prospect cards where the seller doesn't mind waiting for a targeted buyer.
Selling Tips
