The card features the 2025 Topps design celebrating the 75th Anniversary of Topps (1951-2026), with the 'Topps 75' diamond logo in the top right.

Flaws to Note
Slight left-to-right centering bias (approx 60/40); potential white chipping visible on the dark bottom edge border; surface lint/dust visible in photo which must be cleaned before evaluation.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (PWE/Standard Envelope shipping), Sportlots, or local card shows. For lower-value base rookies, COMC is the best option for long-term storage and automated selling.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card unless you believe it is a flawless PSA 10, as grading fees will exceed the market value. List as '2025 Topps Luis Curvelo RC' and use eBay Standard Envelope ($0.64) to keep shipping costs low for the buyer.
