Description
Featured here is a 2017 Topps Allen & Ginter Joey Votto relic card. The card features a painted-style portrait of the Reds legend with a circular window showcasing a grey game-used jersey swatch. The design follows the classic 19th-century tobacco card aesthetic with ornate scrollwork and a matte finish.
Key Features
Features an authentic piece of game-used memorabilia from a future Hall of Fame candidate; iconic Allen & Ginter heritage design; grey jersey swatch likely from a Cincinnati Reds away uniform.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. The 'Game-Used Memorabilia' text is crisp, and the texture of the polyester jersey mesh is consistent with authentic Topps relics from this era. Not a commonly counterfeited card.
Flaws to Note
A & G cards are notorious for white 'chipping' on the back edges and softened corners due to the thick, porous card stock. Centering appears slightly shifted to the left.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform for this card using a 'Buy It Now' format with 'Best Offer' enabled. COMC is also a great option for low-to-mid value relics.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card; the cost of grading exceeds the raw value. List with keywords 'Game Used', 'Reds', and 'Jersey Swatch'. Ship in a bubble mailer as the thickness may cause damage in a standard envelope.
