Condition Grade
PSA 9 (Mint) candidate. Centering looks slightly heavy on the bottom; corners and edges appear sharp through the sleeve; surface shows typical high-gloss refractor-like finish with no visible dimples.
Category

Manufacturer
Panini (Donruss)
Demand Level
Moderate. Mitchell is a highly-touted prospect, but Panini's lack of MLB licensing (no team logos on jerseys) limits the ceiling for collectors compared to Bowman Chrome products.

$3.00 - $8.00

PSA 8: $12-18, PSA 9: $25-35, PSA 10: $65-85
Comparable Sales

Description
Featured here is a 2024 Donruss 'Rated Prospect' card of Kansas City Royals top catching prospect, Blake Mitchell. The card features a vibrant Red Holo Prizm finish that creates a rainbow reflective effect when hit by light. Mitchell is shown in his follow-through after a swing, wearing his blue Royals helmet and catching gear. The iconic 'Rated Prospect' logo is prominently displayed in the bottom right corner in green text.
Key Features
First-round pick (8th overall) of the KC Royals; top-tier catching prospect; iconic Donruss 'Rated Prospect' branding; Red Holo parallel adds significant eye appeal over the base version.
Authenticity Indicators
Correct Donruss 'D' logo font; authentic Holo Prizm light refraction; standard card stock thickness and matte back finish; logo sharpness is consistent with 2024 Panini production. Confidence: High.
Flaws to Note
Slightly bottom-heavy centering on the front border. Panini cards are prone to minor surface scratches and 'print lines' which are difficult to see in photos but often impact 'Gem Mint' grading.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (best for quick exposure), COMC (good for mid-range prospects), or local Card Shows to avoid shipping fees on lower-value items.
Selling Tips
Best sold as part of a 'prospect lot' or used as a 'bonus' card in larger trades unless Mitchell goes on a massive hitting streak. Grade only if centering is perfect, as non-licensed PSA 9s often sell for less than the cost of the grading fee itself.
