Description
2024 Topps Series 1 MacKenzie Gore #131 Washington Nationals Pitcher. The card features a high-action photography layout with Gore mid-pitch in his red Nationals jersey. The design includes the modern Topps 2024 'neon' border elements and the Topps 75th Anniversary logo in the top right corner.
Key Features
Features a young potential star for the Washington Nationals; iconic Topps flagship design; MacKenzie Gore is a former top-prospect and key piece of the Juan Soto trade.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. Authentic Topps glossy card stock, correct 2024 design hierarchy, and appropriate logo placement. This specific base card is rarely ever counterfeited due to its high production volume.
