Authenticity Indicators
Authenticity high (100%). Correct Optichrome finish, proper logo font, and standard Panini card stock thickness. This card is not currently a target for high-end counterfeiting.
Flaws to Note
Slight right-to-left centering bias. Visible surface scratches are common on this chrome stock although none are immediately apparent. Minor edge white-spotting common to Panini cuts.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (standard PWE listing), COMC, or local card shows in a 'dollar box'. Individual sale on eBay is the most likely venue for a single base prospect card.
Selling Tips
Due to the low raw value, it is not recommended to grade this card unless you believe it is a perfect PSA 10 and intend to hold long-term. Sell during a hot streak or his MLB call-up. Use 'Luisangel Acuna Optic Prospect' in the title. Ship in a penny sleeve and top loader.
