Description
This card features a modern action shot of Phillies first baseman Rhys Hoskins, set within the iconic 1986 Topps woodgrain-style / bold header design. The card includes the '35th Anniversary' silver foil stamp in the upper right. Hoskins is pictured mid-play wearing his Philadelphia Phillies home white uniform and sunglasses.
Key Features
Features the popular 1986 Topps throwback design; part of the 35th Anniversary tribute set celebrating the original 1986 release.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence authentic. The silver foil anniversary stamp has the correct reflective properties, and the print pattern is consistent with 2021 Topps mass production. This is not a card commonly targeted by counterfeiters due to its high print volume.
Flaws to Note
Centering is noticeably shifted to the top-right. The card is stored in a multi-pocket binder page without a penny sleeve, which often leads to surface scratches and corner wear. There is visible whitening/chipping on the bottom right corner.

Where to Sell
