Description
This is a 2024 Bowman Chrome Aidan Smith 1st Bowman Mojo Refractor card. The card features the Seattle Mariners prospect in his batting stance. The 'Mojo' design is distinguished by its geometric, checkered prism pattern that creates a vibrant rainbow effect when tilted in the light. It carries the highly coveted '1st Bowman' logo in the upper left corner, designating it as the player's first officially licensed prospect card.
Key Features
Features the '1st Bowman' logo, which is the gold standard for MLB prospect collecting. The Mojo Refractor finish is exclusive to Mega Box retail releases and is more desirable than the standard base chrome version.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. The card stock features the correct thickness for 2024 Bowman Chrome, the '1st Bowman' logo is crisp, and the Mojo geometric pattern is distinct and reactive to light in a way that is difficult to replicate accurately in fakes.
Flaws to Note
Centering is approximately 60/40 favoring the right border. Visible white specking or refractor lines (print lines) are common in this set, though none are immediately obvious in the provided photo. Minor edge silvering is possible.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform for this card due to the high volume of prospect '1st' collectors. It could also move quickly in a Seattle Mariners fan group on Facebook.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card unless you are confident it is a PSA 10, as the grading fee will likely exceed the raw value. Use keywords like '1st Bowman', 'Mojo', and 'Mariners' in the title. Ship in a penny sleeve and top loader inside a reinforced envelope (eBay Standard Envelope) to keep costs low.
