Description
Stunning Mike Trout 2013 Bowman Chrome card featuring the highly sought-after Mojo Refractor pattern. This card showcases Trout in his classic Angels red jersey, following through on a swing. The 'Mojo' prismatic finish creates a vibrant geometric shimmer across the surface, framing one of the greatest players of this generation.
Key Features
Early career Mike Trout card; popular 'Mojo' refractor pattern typically found in Mega Boxes or retail specials; future Hall of Famer star power; high-gloss chrome finish.
Authenticity Indicators
Correct font on nameplate, accurate Angels logo coloration, and authentic Bowman Chrome logo. The 'Mojo' pattern correctly refracts light in a geometric block style unique to Topps/Bowman technology. High confidence in authenticity.
Flaws to Note
Centering is slightly off-center left-to-right (approx 60/40). Surface scratches are the most common hidden flaw for this specific year/finish; however, none are clearly visible in the photo. The bottom right corner shows a tiny bit of white/softness.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (Auction or Buy It Now) is the best platform for this specific card to reach the widest audience. COMC is a good secondary option if you prefer a 'ship and forget' hands-off approach.
Selling Tips
Avoid selling as an auction starting at $0.99; use a 'Buy It Now' price with 'Best Offer' enabled to capture maximum value. Use 'Mojo Refractor' in the title. Photography should be done outside of the sleeve to show the chrome finish, then immediately placed in a penny sleeve and top loader for shipping.
