Condition Grade
Estimated PSA 6-7 (EX-MT). While surface luster is high, thick relic cards are notorious for edge chipping and soft corners. Top-right corner shows visible wear, and centering appears slightly bottom-heavy.

Demand Level
Moderate. Freddie Freeman's market is very strong. Joey Votto has a dedicated 'Cincinnati Reds' collector base. Triple-player relic cards are popular with team and position specialists.
Valuation
Raw (Ungraded) Value
$40.00 - $75.00
Graded Value
PSA 7: $60-80; PSA 8: $100-130; PSA 9: $200+. High grades for thick 2013 Triple Threads are rare due to card stock fragility.
Comparable Sales
Similar Triple Threads Emerald combos featuring Freeman have sold for $50-$90 raw. Adrian Gonzalez cards have cooled, but the Votto/Freeman pairing maintains a solid floor for modern memorabilia collectors.
Description
A stunning 2013 Topps Triple Threads 'Corner Men' relic card featuring three of the era's premier first basemen: Joey Votto, Freddie Freeman, and Adrian Gonzalez. This Emerald Parallel features a shimmering green foil finish and features nine individual 'swatch' windows spelling out CORNER MEN with game-used jersey pieces. The card features high-gloss finish and intricate die-cut relic windows.
Key Features
Features two likely future Hall of Famers (Freeman, Votto); Emerald parallel version typically serial numbered to /18 or /25; Triple-threat relic combination featuring game-used memorabilia from all three stars.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. Authentic Topps Triple Threads cards have a specific weight due to the relic materials. The die-cut 'CORNER MEN' text should be sharp with clean fabric edges. The green emerald refractor finish is difficult to replicate accurately. Check the back for a serial number.
Flaws to Note
Softness on the corners (common for thick stock); visible white chipping on the green emerald borders; surface scratches are likely given the high-gloss foil finish; thick relic cards often have 'corner ding' issues from the factory.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform for this card to reach player-specific collectors. Facebook 'Sports Card Buy/Sell/Trade' groups and COMC are also viable options for multi-player relics.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card unless it is perfect; thick cards often grade poorly and the cost of grading may exceed the value added. List with 'Freddie Freeman' in the title to capture his high-demand market. Use a thick 100pt or 130pt top loader for shipping to prevent further corner damage.
