Description
Featured here is a 2023 Topps All-Star Game card of the legendary Mariner Moose, hand-signed in black felt-tip marker. This card was part of an exclusive set released during the MLB All-Star Week in Seattle. The card features a high-action shot of the Moose in his alternate home jersey with 'All Star Game 2023' gold foil branding at the bottom. The autograph includes a custom 'Moose' inscription and is signed directly over the image.
Key Features
Local Seattle Mariners fan favorite; 2023 All-Star Game host city tie-in; Rare in-person signature obtained at T-Mobile Park; Mascot cards have a dedicated niche following.
Authenticity Indicators
Confidence: High. The signature matches known Mariner Moose 'official' mascot autographs, which often include the specific character styling of the 'M' and the #00 designation. The card stock and gold foil stamping are consistent with 2023 Topps All-Star event issues.
Flaws to Note
The card has a noticeable curve or 'taco' warp common in thin-stock modern Topps inserts. The autograph has some slight ink skipping/streaking on the glossy surface. Significant glare in the photo makes surface scratches hard to detect, but edge wear is likely given it was handled for a signature.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (Local Seattle pick-up or worldwide), Seattle-based Facebook card groups (Mariners Buy/Sell/Trade), or local card shows like the Northwest Sportscard Show.
Selling Tips
Since this is an in-person autograph (not pack-certified), it is best to market it as 'Hand Signed.' If selling for top dollar, consider PSA/DNA 'Authentication Only' to verify the signature. Use keywords like 'ASG 2023', 'Mascot Auto', and 'Mariners Moose' to capture search traffic. Keep it in a penny sleeve and top loader to prevent further warping.
