Condition Grade
Estimated PSA 9 (Mint). The centering appears excellent on the front (approx. 50/50). The autograph is clean and on-card. The primary concern is light surface streaking common to Chrome stock and potentially soft corners visible through the holder. A PSA 10 is possible but black borders are notoriously difficult due to edge chipping.

Description
Featured here is a stunning 2024 Topps Chrome Autograph of Toronto Blue Jays rookie Joey Loperfido. This rare Black Refractor parallel is serial-numbered 03/10, making it an extremely limited 'low-pop' chase card. The card features a crisp blue ink on-card signature and a high-gloss metallic finish with a rainbow refractor effect. The design utilizes the classic horizontal layout with player imagery in both a portrait and action shot.
Key Features
Extremely low serial numbering (03/10), on-card autograph, 'RC' Rookie Card logo, sought-after Black Refractor parallel, and player popularity within the Toronto Blue Jays fan base.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. The 'Topps Certified Autograph Issue' text, the specific refractor refraction pattern, and the stamped serial number '03/10' are consistent with 2024 Topps Chrome production standards.
Flaws to Note
The black borders are prone to showing even the slightest white chipping on the corners or edges. There is a visible glare/refraction in the photo that may hide light surface micro-scratches. Centering looks strong, which is a major plus for this specific year's print run.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform for a card of this rarity to reach a global audience. Alternatively, a high-end auction house like PWCC or Goldin could be considered if the card grades as a Gem Mint 10.
Selling Tips
Grading this card is highly recommended due to the scarcity of the /10 parallel. Even a PSA 9 will significantly increase liquid value over raw. Use a scanner for listing photos rather than a camera to show the surface and edges clearly. Use 'SSP', 'Low Pop', and 'Blue Jays RC' in the title.
