Description
This is a 2024 Bowman Chrome Mega Box Yoshinobu Yamamoto Mojo Refractor prospect card. It features the Dodgers' star Japanese pitcher in a full motion throwing pose. The card bears the iconic 'Mojo' etched foil pattern that creates a geometric rainbow effect when held to the light. It has the 'Bowman Chrome' logo in the top right and the 'LA' Dodgers logo at the bottom center.
Key Features
First year Bowman card for the high-profile Japanese sensation. The Mojo Refractor is an exclusive parallel found only in Mega Box retail formats. Yamamoto is one of the most tracked pitchers in the hobby today.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. The specific 'Mojo' etched texture is difficult to counterfeit. Proper Topps/Bowman branding and gloss finish are consistent with 2024 production runs.
Flaws to Note
Slight top-to-bottom centering bias. Bowman Mega Box cards often suffer from horizontal print lines across the Mojo etching which can downgrade the surface score during professional grading.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform for this card due to high volume and international reach. COMC is a good secondary option for 'ship to warehouse' convenience.
Selling Tips
Since the raw value is relatively low compared to the cost of grading, only grade this card if you are certain it will hit a PSA 10. List on eBay with 'Dodgers' and 'RC' (even though it is a Prospect card) in the title to maximize search hits. Use a bubble mailer with tracking.
