Description
Featured here is a 2023-24 Donruss Optic Blue Velocity parallel of Cleveland Cavaliers superstar Donovan Mitchell. This card features the vibrant Blue Velocity 'laser' refractor pattern, exclusive to retail Mega Boxes. The action shot depicts Mitchell in his black Cavaliers City Edition jersey driving to the hoop. The Optic brand is highly regarded for its premium chrome finish and 'Rated Rookie' style design heritage.
Key Features
Features All-Star Donovan Mitchell in his Cleveland Cavaliers uniform. The Blue Velocity parallel is a highly sought-after retail exclusive with high 'eye appeal' due to the light-refracting pattern.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. The card stock has the correct Optic thickness, the 'Choice' style micro-patterning is present in the refractivity, and the Panini/Donruss typography is crisp. Counterfeits of standard veteran parallels like this are extremely rare.
Flaws to Note
Centering is slightly shifted toward the right border. Surface on Optic cards is prone to 'dimples' and light scratches that may not be visible in photos. Edges on the bottom border show minor white flecks which are common in colored retail parallels.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the primary market for this card. It would also do well as a 'filler' or 'add-on' in a Cavaliers team lot on Facebook Marketplace or blowout forums.
Selling Tips
Due to the low raw value vs. grading costs (approx $20+), it is recommended to sell this card raw unless you are certain it will hit a PSA 10. Use high-resolution photos that capture the 'shimmer' of the velocity pattern to attract buyers. Ship in a penny sleeve and top loader inside a bubble mailer for protection.
