Description
This 2019 Topps Gold Label features Cincinnati Reds legend Joey Votto. The card highlights the 'Class 2' designation, indicated by the 'Class 2' text repeating in the background behind the gold logo. It features a dual-image design with a high-gloss finish and a refractor-like shine in the background, showing Votto in both a batting action shot and a portrait pose.
Key Features
Features a future Hall of Fame candidate; Class 2 variation which is short-printed compared to Class 1; high-end glossy aesthetic unique to the Gold Label brand.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence; the card has the correct Topps Gold Label foil stamping and high-gloss layered cardstock unique to this production. Counterfeits of base veterans from this era are extremely rare.
Flaws to Note
Corners appear sharp, but the top-right edge may have a minor speck of white. High-gloss chrome surfaces are magnets for fingerprints and micro-scratches which can only be seen under a jeweler's loupe/direct light.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform for this card using a 'Buy It Now' with 'Best Offer' feature. It is also a great candidate for COMC due to its low weight and specific collector appeal.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card unless you are certain it is a PSA 10, as the grading fee outweighs the value of a PSA 9. List with keywords 'Class 2' and 'Cincinnati Reds' to attract team collectors. Ship in a penny sleeve and top-loader inside a cardboard mailer.
