Description
A fascinating 2013 Topps Chrome Update card featuring Willson Contreras pictured in a Boston Red Sox uniform (though Contreras famously debuted with the Chicago Cubs and never played for Boston). The card features a chromium finish with the distinct Topps Chrome logo in the upper left and a Red Sox themed border with stitched baseball graphic details. A notable modern error card for player collectors.
Key Features
Notable modern error card (wrong team/player mix-up), Topps Chrome chromium finish, desirable rookie-era appearance error.
Authenticity Indicators
Chromium stock reflection, correct font styles, and standard Topps back layout indicate a genuine factory error rather than a custom fake. Confidence: High.
Flaws to Note
Slight left-to-right centering bias on the front border. Minor surface scratching visible under direct light typical of raw chrome cards.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform for error cards to reach specialized registry set builders and error collectors.
Selling Tips
Highlight the error prominently in the title and description (e.g., 'Error Card - Willson Contreras Boston Red Sox'). Sell raw unless you are certain of a PSA 10 grade due to grading costs outweighing the value.
