This is a 2022 Topps Chrome Mike Trout featuring the desirable Sepia Refractor parallel. The card shows the 3-time MVP in his home white Angels uniform with pink Mother's Day accessories, captured in a dynamic fielding motion. The Sepia color palette gives the action photo a vintage, bronze-toned aesthetic, bordered by the iconic metallic Topps Chrome shine. The 'Topps Chrome' logo sits in the top right, with Trout's name and the Angels logo anchored at the bottom.
Key Features
Features future Hall of Famer Mike Trout; Sepia Refractor parallel found exclusively in retail blaster boxes; stunning chrome finish; high-action photography; low entry-point for a premium-feel superstar card.
Authenticity Indicators

Flaws to Note
A small white dot/artifact is visible on the left border (mid-card height) which may be a print defect or debris on the card; centering is slightly shifted toward the right edge; minor surface finger-printing visible in photo.

Selling Tips
