Description
This is a 2023-24 Topps Chrome Basketball card featuring D'Angelo Russell in his Brooklyn Nets jersey. The card utilizes a striking split design with a vibrant red 'B' basketball graphic on the left and a monochrome portrait overlay on the right. This specific card is a serial-numbered parallel, hand-stamped '170/299' in the bottom right corner. It commemorates his status as the Round 1, Pick 2 selection.
Key Features
Serial numbering to /299, vibrant Red parallel color match (partially) to the Nets graphic, and high-gloss Chrome finish. Topps' return to licensed basketball imagery (though technically non-hoop licensed through NBA) makes these cards a unique modern collectible.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. The '170/299' foil stamping is crisp and consistent with Topps manufacturing standards. The Chrome stock thickness and 'Topps' logo hologram effect are correct for the 2023-24 set.
Flaws to Note
Possible minor edge chipping on the top left; some surface dimples are common in Topps Chrome releases and should be inspected under a loupe. The matte black textured area on the right side of the card is prone to fingernail scratches.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform for this specific card using a 'Buy It Now' format with 'Best Offer' enabled. It would also perform well on COMC (Check Out My Cards) due to the low shipping costs for mid-tier parallels.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card unless you are confident it is a PSA 10, as the grading fee currently exceeds the raw value. List with keywords like 'Case Hit', 'Short Print', and 'Nets'. Use a penny sleeve and top-loader, and ship via eBay Standard Envelope for $1.00-$1.50 to keep the total cost attractive to the buyer.
