Description
A striking 2024 Topps Composite rookie card featuring Kansas City Chiefs prospect Brashard Smith. This Magenta Foil parallel is serial numbered 154/250 in gold foil on the bottom right. The design utilizes a dual-image layout with a crisp action shot over a pink/magenta background, contrasted by a ghosted portrait on the right. Includes the official 'RC' logo.
Key Features
Features the official RC shield, limited print run of 250, and depicts a player on the high-demand Kansas City Chiefs. Topps Composite is a popular new multi-brand design set.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. Authentic gold foil serial numbering stamping and correct Topps Composite 'IC' (Interceptive) branding. The card stock depth and foil refractoriness are consistent with 2024 Fanatics production.
Flaws to Note
Possible minor centering shift toward the bottom right edge. Darker foil surfaces are prone to 'silvering' or chipping on the edges and show fingerprints/scratches easily.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform for this card due to its low-to-mid value. It is a good candidate for a 'Chiefs Team Lot' or a '2024 Topps Composite' single listing with eBay Standard Envelope shipping.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card; the return on investment is likely negative. Sell it 'raw' using a high-quality scan. Use keywords: 'Brashard Smith RC', 'Chiefs Rookie', 'Topps Composite /250'. Use a penny sleeve and top-loader, and ship via eBay Standard Envelope for $1.11 to keep total costs low for the buyer.
