Description
2024 Topps Series 1 Nick Allen base card #127 featuring the Houston Astros shortstop in a dynamic fielding action pose. The card features the 2024 Topps border design with the 'Topps 75' anniversary logo in the upper right.

Flaws to Note
No major visible flaws from the image. Potential minor corner softening on the bottom right and slight top-heavy centering, common for 2024 Topps base production.
