Condition Grade
Estimated PSA 9 (Mint). The centering looks solid (55/45 right to left). There are no obvious corner dings visible through the case, but silver metal cards are highly susceptible to micro-scratches and surface dimples that may hold it back from a 10.

Description
This is a 2022 Leaf Prospect Edition metal card featuring Kansas City star Bobby Witt Jr. in his powder blue uniform. The card features a white matte background with silver etched numbering '07' and the 'Prospect Edition' logo in the top right. It is housed in a one-touch magnetic holder, demonstrating it has been well cared for.
Key Features
Features one of the most exciting young superstars in MLB (Bobby Witt Jr.). The card uses Leaf's 'Metal' technology with etched features and a clean, modern design. While unlicensed (no MLB logos), Witt Jr. is a top-tier hobby name.
Authenticity Indicators
Authenticity confidence is High. Leaf cards utilize specific etching and card stock thickness that is difficult to replicate. This specific card value is low enough that counterfeiting is extremely rare.
Flaws to Note
Metal cards often have minor surface scratches or 'print lines' straight from the factory. The centering on this card shifts slightly to the right. Small white spots on the matte surface are common points of failure for high-grade submissions.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform for this card due to the high volume of Witt Jr. collectors. It could also move easily in a local card shop's budget bin or on Facebook collector groups for Kansas City Royals fans.
Selling Tips
Avoid grading this card unless you are certain it is a PSA 10, as the grading cost often exceeds the value of a PSA 9. Use keywords like 'Royals', 'Shortstop', and 'Prospect' in your listing description. Best to sell during the MLB season when Witt is performing well.
