Description
A 2023 Donruss 'Rated Rookie' featuring Pittsburgh Pirates top pitching prospect Bubba Chandler. This card features the Orange border parallel design with Chandler in his pitching motion. The iconic Rated Rookie logo is visible in the bottom-left corner with the Donruss 'D' in the top right.
Key Features
Includes the iconic 'Rated Rookie' branding; Bubba Chandler is a top-tier MLB prospect for the Pirates with high strikeout potential; Orange color parallel adds limited scarcity over the base version.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. The Donruss logo, card stock thickness, and typography match 2023 Panini production standards. This card is not currently a target for high-end counterfeiting.
Flaws to Note
The centering is slightly off-center (approx 60/40) toward the top-right corner. There is a small speck of debris visible near the top right of the card, though it likely sits on the top-loader rather than the card surface.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform for this specific card due to the high volume of prospect collectors and the ease of using eBay Standard Envelope for low-cost shipping.
Selling Tips
Sell raw unless you are certain of a PSA 10, as grading fees currently exceed the market value of a PSA 9. Use keywords like 'Pirates Prospect', 'Rated Rookie', and 'Orange Parallel'. Use a bubble mailer or eBay Standard Envelope.
