Description
This is a 2023 Donruss Optic Orange Scope Prizm featuring Tampa Bay Rays top prospect Chandler Simpson. The card features a stunning orange holo-burst pattern (Scope) that reacts vibrantly to light. Simpson is depicted in a follow-through batting stance. The back would contain player stats and highlights from his collegiate and early minor league career. The card is currently protected in a magnetic one-touch case.
Key Features
Features a high-ceiling prospect known for elite speed (stole 94 bases in 2024 season); Orange Scope is a short-printed (SP) retail-exclusive parallel; visually striking holographic tech.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. Correct 'Optic' logo font and positioning. The etching on the 'Scope' pattern is distinct and difficult to replicate. Correct card stock thickness for Panini chromium products.
Flaws to Note
Possible minor surface scratches inherent to high-gloss Optic finishes. Minor chipping on the dark-colored back edges is common for this set, though not visible from the front view.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform for this specific card to reach player collectors and prospectors. COMC is a secondary option for long-term storage and easier flipping.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card unless it is a guaranteed PSA 10, as the grading cost of $25+ exceeds the raw value. List as '2024 MiLB Stolen Base Leader' in the title to catch trend-seekers. Use high-quality photos outside of the one-touch to show the surface is free of scratches.
