Condition Grade
Estimated PSA 7 (Near Mint). Relic cards are notoriously difficult to grade due to thicker card stock and softer edges. Centering appears slightly heavy toward the left, and the bottom-right corner (viewed portrait) shows visible white chipping/wear.

Topps
Demand Level
Moderate. Joey Votto has a dedicated fan base and strong Hall of Fame trajectory, though market interest for non-numbered 2010s relics is generally stable rather than explosive.

Selling Tips
Do not grade this card; the return on investment for a standard relic is low unless it is a PSA 10. List as 'Joey Votto Game Used Jersey' to capture more search traffic. Use a bubble mailer for shipping ($4-5) rather than a plain envelope, as the thickness of the card can cause it to get caught in post office sorting machines.
